My car was first registered before 1973 and therefore I do not have to pay road tax – is it still eligible for the Scrappage Scheme?
Vehicles registered before 1 January 1973 (historic vehicles) are exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty. They still have to display a tax disc in the windscreen (known as a nil disc) unless they have been taken off the road, but there is no charge for this. Cars in this situation will therefore be eligible as long as they have a valid nil disc, and they meet all other Scheme criteria.
