Returning your vehicle

The take-back of the end-of-life vehicle
If you would like to decommission your vehicle as an end-of-life vehicle, please take note of the following:

In order to deregister your end-of-life vehicle you will need a so-called certificate of destruction. The certificate of destruction confirms that your vehicle was properly disposed of.
This certificate of destruction can only be issued by a certified Automotive Treatment Facility (ATF), certified and authorised acceptance point or a manufacturer approved take-back station.

In order to achieve simple disposal of your end-of-life vehicle, Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd maintains a nationwide network of take-back stations, which take back your used Mercedes-Benz free of charge.

Our contracted dismantling operators are certified and fulfil all the legal requirements. Furthermore, they are audited according to our quality criteria and subjected to our monitoring.
