£2,000 SCRAPPAGE SCHEME ENDS ON 28th FEBRUARY 2010

What is the scrappage scheme?
In the 2009 budget review Alistair Darling confirmed a £2,000 Government Scrappage Scheme would be implemented. Vehicles over ten years old will receive £2,000 when traded in for a new vehicle. 

How will the scheme work?
The vehicle Scrappage Scheme is a voluntary scheme for manufacturers. If a manufacturer joins the Scrappage Scheme they'll give you £2,000 off a new vehicle if you let them scrap your old one. The car scrappage scheme will run from May 18th 2009 until 31st March 2010, or until the Government’s fixed budget of £300 million runs out, so there is limited availability. We are pleased to confirm both Peugeot and Robins & Day will be fully supporting this initiative.

Who is eligible?
The vehicle you trade in must: 
·         be a car or small van weighing up to 3,500 kilograms (kg)
·         be first registered in the United Kingdom (UK) on or before 31 August 1999
·         with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in your name
·         have been registered to you continuously for 12 calendar months before the order date of the new vehicle
·         have a UK address on the registration certificate (V5C)
·         have a current MOT test certificate before date of order for the new vehicle

The new vehicle you want to buy must be: 
·         a car or small van weighing up to 3,500 kg
·         first registered in the UK on or after 18 May 2009
·         declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers

Why has the scheme been introduced?
It is intended to boost the UK car industry, which has been hard hit by the global recession. Similar car scrappage programmes have already been successfully launched in other European markets including Germany, France and Italy. Other benefits to the car scrappage scheme are the reduced CO² emissions and improved safety features available with new vehicles.
