Scrap Car Prices and Vehicle Valuations

Not all scrap car buyers operate fairly. Some companies advertise inflated prices online, only to reduce their offer when they arrive to collect the vehicle.

We believe in being transparent from the start. The price we offer is based on genuine market values and reflects the true worth of your vehicle.

Several factors influence the value of a scrap car, including:

• Vehicle weight
• Make and model
• Overall condition
• Current scrap metal prices
• Whether collection is required

As scrap metal markets change regularly, valuations can fluctuate from week to week.

Payment for Scrap Cars

It is important to know that cash payments for scrap vehicles are illegal in the UK.

Under UK law, all scrap vehicle transactions must be paid by electronic bank transfer or cheque. This legislation was introduced to help prevent vehicle theft and improve traceability within the recycling industry.

When you sell your vehicle for scrap, you can be confident that all payments will be made securely and in full compliance with current regulations.

How Payment Works

Once you accept our quote, we’ll arrange a collection date and time that suits you. Before collection, we’ll need to verify your identity. In most cases, a valid driving licence is sufficient. Alternatively, a passport and recent utility bill can be used.

Payment is normally made by bank transfer at the point of collection, although other arrangements can be discussed if required. In many cases, collection and payment can be completed within hours of accepting our offer.

Vehicle Paperwork

If your vehicle still has remaining road tax or insurance, we recommend handling the cancellation yourself so you can claim any refunds directly.

Where appropriate, we can assist with the scrapping paperwork and advise you on the correct process to follow.

Lost Your V5C Logbook?

Don’t worry if you’ve misplaced your V5C registration document. You can still legally scrap your vehicle.

You should notify the DVLA that the vehicle has been scrapped and provide details of the authorised recycling facility handling the vehicle, along with the registration number, make, model, and date of sale.

Certificate of Destruction

Once your vehicle has been processed, a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) can be issued by an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF).

This document confirms that the vehicle has been permanently destroyed and removed from the road. Keeping a copy provides peace of mind and helps ensure you are no longer responsible for the vehicle in relation to road tax, insurance, or future liabilities.
