Hi there. We are new to the area and are in rented accommodation until we move into our house next week. We have driven down with a UK registered Kia car which developed a problem with a brake. We took it into Kia in antas who said the underside is rotting and should be scrapped (their opinion). Not sure what to do. Bought it second hand in UK. Anyone know of any , hopefully English speaking, as my Spanish is still in early stages or any places where I can scrap it and be recognised by the DVLA. This must have happened to someone else. Any advice would be great

We scrapped our UK car here a few years ago. They gave us a certificate to send on to dvla. They are in Huercal Overa.

That is brilliant. Were the DVLA ok with that. Without being daft I presume your car still had UK plates at the time

Yes, UK plates. Our car was actually fine but we were in the middle of covid and needed to eithee metriculate or scrap and getting it metriculated was pretty impossible at the time. 

The dvla was fine, I think we just posted the certificate and log book to them but you could probably just drop them a call to clarify the process is still the same.
