There are many reasons why you may need to scrap your vehicle. Typically, a car becomes less efficient and more expensive to fix as it ages and wears out. Below are some more reasons.

The car is taking up space in the garage or on the driveway.

It might be a good idea to scrap your car old car that is sitting in your garage. You may not realize how much space you’re not-in-use car is taking up. Perhaps you removed parts, and you are left with just a car shell. If you want your garage space back, consider car scrapping with us.

It does not comply with the low emission zone standards and is not environmentally friendly.

The fuel economy of the car is poor

There are a few important factors to consider when deciding whether or not to scrap your car. Older cars tend to consume more fuel than newer ones. Next, consider the emissions of the vehicle. In low emission zones which are situated mainly in large cities, older cars may be subject to charges due to high levels of emissions they produce, which contribute to the climate change and global warming crisis.

The vehicle is becoming difficult to sell on

Although selling a car may be the best option for some, scrapping your car may be a better option for others. First of all, selling your car privately can be difficult, especially if it’s an older or damaged vehicle. Additionally, even if you do find a buyer, you might not get what you want. The process of selling a car privately can be lengthy and stressful. In these situations, scrapping your car could be the best option. You can get rid of an unwanted car quickly and easily by scrapping it.

A scrap car’s value is almost impossible to predict, as a variety of variables are taken into account before you are given a price. However, the weight of your car is the most critical factor. In general, heavier cars contain more metal, and since scrap car dealers are most interested in metal, the more of it there is, the more they will pay.

Despite that, don’t let your smaller car scare you off. You might find that if your car has been well maintained, it may be worth more than some of the larger vehicles because of its age, condition, and mileage.

You’re in luck, we’ll still pick up your vehicle. However, the price may drop in some cases as the car may be more difficult to remove. In the worst case scenario, the handbrake could be stuck on, requiring us to bring a lorry with a Hiab.

The best thing to do with a personalised registration mark is to make sure it’s removed from the scrap vehicle before collection. You can do this by applying for a number plate retention certificate through the DVLA, either online or through the post. You will be able to transfer the registration to a different vehicle or an official Retention Document.

Without a doubt, yes. Section 9 of the V5C document must be filled out by the legal owner or keeper before the car is returned to the DVLA. You won’t have to worry if you’re not sure what to do; our driver will work you through the process.
