a vehicle idenity comes from its chassis number in the eyes of the dvla if its scraped it simply meens the chassis/body does not exist anymore the reg number returns to the property of the dvla and cannot be reregisterd.
this effects the engine or its idenity in no way and it can be reused and its no. is used only to track its origin, parts build and idenity etc.
if that helps any
