When trading in a car, the most important document to surrender is the Vehicle Registration Certificate

If your car was first registered, or last changed ownership after May 2004 - it looks like this:

If your vehicle was first registered, or last changed ownership before May 2004, you will most likely have a Vehicle Licensing Certificate - it looks like this:

Please note that, confusingly, older cars (before May 2004) will also have a Vehicle Registration Certificate. This document has no purpose now and is no use if you're trading a car in to a garage or changing ownership. Click to see old VRC

There is no need to bring the NCT certificate, but any documentation relevant to the car may be useful to the next owner.
Naturally you may wish to exclude any documents that have your personal details on them.

you used to get a VRC on registering the car and then a VLC when you tax it. I'd suggest she has lost the second cert/ should hunt for it. The VRC is pretty useless to you I think
