Do the trade-in cars for scrappage schemes need a valid MoT?

Do any scrappage schemes allow you to offer a car with no MoT?

You can see all the scrappage schemes manufacturers are currently running here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/car-market-1/2020-06/you...#

I've checked on Citroen and Dacia's sites and can't see any stipulation requiring the trade-in car to have an MoT (seeing as it's being scrapped anyway) but it should say in the fine print on each site. If you're not sure, and you're interested in a particular scheme - I'd ring up your local dealer and ask them what the conditions are as they're likely to be slightly different for each manufacturer.

If I opt for a dealer's scrappage offer, what is the essential information about the process/handing over the car that I need to be aware of? Thank you in advance.
Any idea if scrappage schemes might become a reality for electric, or other vehicles, this summer?
My current car (an older polluting diesel) is going to be scrapped in return for a significant discount on a new car. However in prep for the MoT in a couple of days I took my current car to Halfirds today...
