About 15 years ago I bought a car as a parts donor for another, stripped it and sent the logbook off to the DVLA to declare it as scrapped. I started to take apart the shell for spares but only got as far as removing the roof skin and front wings. Then I moved away and the car got left behind in the shared space that I kept it. Now the car is worth a bit more money and I've collected it, what are the chance of me getting back that logbook if I applied? If I search for the car on the DVLA system it still comes up as untaxed and unmoted.

Apply for the logbook, see what happens. I've applied for a logbook (albeit 10 years ago) for a donor I bought that had been sent off as scrapped, logbook came through through.

This is why I never kill the registration on the parts cars.

It will still be active somewhere on the system.
Only a Certificate of Destruction kills off a registration/car.
What it used to do is put a marker on the system to denote that the car had to go through a VIC check before it could go back on the road, but now they've done away with VIC checks, you should simply get the logbook back.
Only time its tricky is if it was done over 25 years ago, as that is long before they did it all on computer, but even then, so long as you can provide VIN, Reg, make and model and colour, its enough to generate a logbook either way.

Only a Certificate of Destruction kills off a registration/car. Yep, once the CoD has been issued, that's it. As far as I know, only a registered scrap yard can issue this once they've physically destroyed the car...although most scrap yards issue one as soon as the car enters the yard in my experience. As long as this hasn't happened, you should be able to get the V5 for it regardless of whether you sent the old one off with the "scrapped" box ticked. |

In EXCEPTIONAL circumstances, it is possible to get a COD rescinded, but that is reserved only for cars that are rare and of very high value and a COD was done by mistake. A Ford Sierra? Its not getting a reprieve, but a Mercedes 540 K Special Roadster...... they'll make an exception. |

Interesting, when I asked about a rare S1 Alfasud Sprint I owned once, the reply was a resounding "no chance". Perhaps it just wasn't worth enough money...

A Certificate of Destruction is not an irreversible situation.
My current daily GSE had one issued and although it took a few weeks, I got a V5 and original registration.
While it is a scarce, it's certainly not a high value vehicle but they did it anyway.
