I bought an old mondeo with the intention of taking the engine out and using it for a project i had. Since then my work van has died and i need a car and was wondering if i could put the mondeo back on the road. When i bought it the guy sent the V5 off to say it had been scrapped. Can it be put back on the road? How would i go about it? Is it going to cost a bit of money as i only paid £80 for it and dont really want to spend much? Cheers everyone

Just to let you know the car is fine, has been stood in a garage for 6 months the owner died and his son wanted rid of the car. Its not like its a rotter or unsafe in any way. It doesnt need repairing its the liscencing issue im unsure of and need help with. Cheers

Yep,you can but they will be registered as D class.Lots of cars are repaired that have not had major damage but the insurance company's think it would be to expensive to repair as the main dealers usually do the repairing with parts that are usually imported from car manufacturers,that and cost of labour at main dealers makes it to expensive.But your local garage can more than likely do it at a quarter of the price.

Yes you can, contact DVLA and they will advise.
People scrap cars for all kinds of reasons, I've seen cars scrapped for cracked windscreens, to say it's not safe or legal is completely misguided, what happens to classic cars that are restored?
It's all a case of economics, if it's viable and safe, there's no problem.

You will need a consulting engineer to inspect the car and I think your prospective insurance company may well want to nominate one at your expense. DVLA will advise on any procedure to re-register the car if indeed it has been notified as scrapped. I do not know but they may have to re-register with a Q number.

People buy written off cars all the time and fix them up to sell them, but they have to pass the MOT More than that I don't know, but it will cost you.

No it`s both illegal and dangerous, you won`t be able to get it insured or taxed because it will be classed as written off and they will know, so you could be fined, think carefully

Adam, you can do what you want, but it's not legal, safe or wise, but I suspect you already know that. Do you really value life so little that you'd take risks like that?
