Which finished in 2010 which has been explained to you numerous times on this thread. All you are doing is confusing the issue.

the gov scheme stopped then but some manufactures still have their own and the same basic rule applies if the car is scrapped it has to be at a eof yard and a cert issued for proof

It was only the government Scrappage scheme that actually required the vehicle to be scrapped.
There is no 'rule' that dealers must scrap a car, it may just be a matter between manufacturers and dealers to call a sales incentive 'scrappage'.

all cars under any scrappage scheme must be scrapped hence the name, Press Association data collected from 12 brands uncovered the numbers, although 14 manufacturers would not disclose how many cars have been scrapped under their schemes.
8088 cars were scrapped under Ford’s scrappage scheme, which makes up 57% of trade-ins since the scheme’s introduction.
Ford’s scrappage scheme offers £2000 off a new car, in addition to the brand’s existing offers. It’s one of the few scrappage schemes which a brand has allowed to be used in conjunction with other offers.
Toyota saw particular success with its scheme; a brand spokesman said: "We’re delighted by the huge success of Toyota’s scrappage scheme which has reinforced the appeal of both our wide range of vehicles and of our market-leading hybrid offering in multiple vehicle segments.”
On Lexus, which the spokesman continued: "Around 60% of our retail sales in October and November saw customers taking advantage of our ‘Make The Switch’ offers on Lexus self-charging hybrid vehicles; the majority using the Lexus Hybrid Deposit Allowance scheme and a smaller percentage, as expected in the premium sector, using the Scrappage Scheme.”

You are deluded if you think a manufacturer's promotion is legally binding in the way that the government one was.

Maybe not but when someone contracts with me to take my car for scrap, for the Ford scrappage price and then sends a scrappage certificate to DVLA (I signed something to that effect) but does not scrap it what the heck is that?

Then why not ask the garage you handed it in to? They are the only people that will be able to tell you what has happened to the car.

we do about six a month, how many do you do?

Dealers may have an agreement with manufacturers that vehicles accepted under their scrappage scheme must actually be scrapped, but that is just a manufacturer/dealer sales promotion agreement.
Apart from that agreement there is no other requirement that a vehicle accepted under the scrappage sales promotion is actually scrapped.

I took advantage of Mazda's scrappage scheme a year ago and the car no longer exists in DVLA records so presumably has been scrapped.

In reality, many of the parts are probably still in use, just not as part of that particular vehicle.
