What are the consequences of selling a car as scrap metal without scrapping it

[IsabelRose]

If a vehicle is sold as scrap metal without being properly scrapped, the vehicle owner will be unable to register or license other motor vehicles under their name. Below are relevant details about vehicle scrapping: 1. Impact on vehicle registration: If a car is not scrapped according to regulations, its information will remain in the database. Before deregistering this vehicle's information, the owner cannot register or license other motor vehicles under their name. 2. Impact on driver's license renewal/replacement: Since driver license services and vehicle services are both managed by traffic authorities, failure to deregister scrapped vehicles as required will also affect procedures like driver's license renewal or replacement. 3. Fines: According to the 'Regulations on the Recycling of Scrapped Automobiles', selling, gifting, or otherwise transferring scrapped vehicles to non-authorized recycling entities or individuals will result in confiscation of illegal gains by public security authorities, along with fines ranging from 2,000 to 20,000 yuan.
