What happened to the vehicle? Did you sell it? Just take it to a garbage lot?
There is most likely accumulated amortization on it.
So, the JE is:
Dr. Accumulated Amortization (Depreciation)
Cr. Vehicle.
If you got cash from it, you debit that. And the net balance is just a plug (loss for a debit, gain if it's a credit... note, you will only have a gain if you received something for the car... either cash or something else).
EXAMPLE:
You bought a car 10 years ago for $20,000. You have depreciation of 18,000 on it….now you just threw it away.
Dr. Accumulated Amortization 18,000
Dr. Loss 2,000
Cr. Car 20,000
