Understanding Your Scrap Car’s Value

What determines my car’s scrap value?

Three main factors set the price:

1. Current Scrap Metal Prices: We track the live market to ensure you get a fair price.
2. Your Vehicle’s Weight & Model: Heavier cars and certain models (e.g., a scrap Toyota, BMW, FORD, VW, Mercedes) often have a higher value.
3. Salvageable Parts: Components like catalytic converters and alloy wheels can increase the offer.

How much will I get for my car?

Your final offer is personalised and guaranteed, based on a detailed assessment of your vehicle. Key factors we consider include:

• Vehicle Condition: Mileage, overall condition, and service history.
• Make & Model: Certain brands and models hold more value.
• Salvageable Parts: The presence of valuable components like:
  • Alloy wheels (£20 extra)
  • Catalytic converters
  • Batteries
  • Functioning electronics.
• Special Offers: We provide bonus payments for cars under 10 years old (Starts at £500).

Essential Documentation

What is the most important document I need?

You will need the V5C logbook. It’s the key document for notifying the DVLA and completing the transfer of ownership when scrapping.

What is a Certificate of Destruction (CoD)?

The CoD is the official, legal proof from the DVLA that your car has been permanently destroyed. We provide this automatically, ensuring you are no longer liable for the vehicle.

How do I transfer ownership to you?

Simply provide us with your V5C logbook. We handle the DVLA notification on your behalf. You will receive confirmation from the DVLA, and we will provide your CoD.
