Subject to regulation 38(2) when an authorised treatment facility accepts delivery of an end-of-life vehicle it shall not impose a charge on the last holder or owner of that vehicle as a result of the vehicle having no market value.

In circumstances where the end-of-life vehicle does not contain the essential components of a vehicle, in particular the engine, transmission, coachwork, catalytic converter and wheels, or contains waste which has been added to the end-of-life vehicle, an authorised treatment facility may impose a charge on the last holder or owner of the vehicle.
