after stripping my donor 8 months ago im not sure if the log book was sent off as scrapped or not
i cant find it anywhere in the house
is there anyway of checking online if i have declared it scrapped??
thanks folks

the DVLA road tax thing should do the trick

just tried that and all the details appear might try and find the correct phone number give them a ring

Do a vehicle enquiry, if it doesn't come up as recognised it's probably been scrapped. If it says it needs tax then you need to send of for a new V5c (with some cash) and a SORN request form.

Date of Liability 01 06 2007
Date of First Registration 16 11 1990
Year of Manufacture 1990
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1998CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour RED
Vehicle Type Approval null
The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry.
Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle

Doesn't look scrapped to me.

Here's my SORN'ed Donor

Date of Liability 01 06 2008
Date of First Registration 21 10 1997
Year of Manufacture 1985
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 998CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLUE
Vehicle Type Approval null

i feel a back tax coming on
date of liability is this when the tax expired??
as mine and yours are 12 months apart

Yes date of liability is when tax (or SORN in my case) expires(ed).

I'd just fill in the SORN form and send with the new V5c request form.

Worse case is the SORN fine - I've never heard of back tax being asked for or paid. But I wouldn't volunteer unless I really couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse It doesn't look like it was ever SORN so unless it had tax when you bought it <wink> the previous owner was remiss in getting the SORN arranged.

It could well be scrapped. For example, here is a record for an old car my parents had which I know for a fact was squashed many moons ago:

The vehicle details for F267 ENC are:

Date of Liability 29 10 2001
Date of First Registration 01 10 1988
Year of Manufacture 1988
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1998CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour BLUE
Vehicle Type Approval null

And my donor:

Date of Liability 01 07 2004
Date of First Registration 27 10 1988
Year of Manufacture 1988
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1993CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour RED
Vehicle Type Approval null
