Hyundai Scrappage Scheme
Hyundai welcomes the announcement of the new scrappage scheme by the Government in the Budget. Motorists are being offered £2,000 towards a new car or van if they trade in their 10-year-old, or older, vehicle for scrap between mid-May and March 2010. The £2,000 being offered is made up of £1,000 from government and £1,000 from Hyundai. While the scheme is voluntary, so not all manufacturers may participate, Hyundai has pledged its support for the scheme. This scheme will benefit the economy by increasing sales and helping to retain jobs in an industry, and its supply chain, that saw new car sales reduce by 29% in the first quarter of this year.
But the benefits of this are not just to the economy. Official figures show that the average new car is 14.5% cleaner in terms of exhaust emissions than a pre-2000 model. Newer cars also benefit from much improved safety levels which could help reduce accident and injury rates.

Information for Hyundai Customers
Once your car has been collected it will be delivered to a Cartakeback Authorised Treatment Facility where a DVLA Certificate of Destruction will be issued. This will effectively remove your car from the DVLA vehicle registration database so that you are not at risk to continuous registration penalties. All scrap cars which are treated by Cartakeback are de-polluted and recycled in accordance with the government target of 85%.
In order to qualify for the scheme, it is expected that the old vehicle to be scrapped must:
- be a car or light van with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3,500 kg,
- have been first registered in the UK on or before 31st August 1999,
- have either a V5C registration document (logbook) in your name at a UK address,
- have been registered in your name for at least 12 months,
- have a current MOT test certificate or one which expired no earlier than 14 days before the date of contract of the new vehicle,
- have a valid tax disc at the time of order,
- not have any outstanding finance, and
- not be an insurance write-off.
It is expected that the new vehicle purchased as part of the scheme must be:
- a car or small van weighing up to 3,500 kg,
- purchased from a participating dealer,
- purchased on or after 18th May 2009,
- to UK specification,
- declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers, and
- registered to the same registered keeper as the old vehicle.
The dealer will make all of the arrangements for your old vehicle to be disposed of and recycled.
The scrappage scheme will run from the middle of May until the end of February 2010 however funds are limited so motorists are encouraged to act quickly.
In addition to the scheme, Hyundai will offer further great savings on selected models. If you would like to find out more about these please click here.
