How Much Can You Get Scrapping a Car?

There are many different factors that go into the final value of your scrap vehicle. It’s important to note that not every local scrapyard will give you the same price for your car. While some others might try to pay far below what your vehicle is worth, we strive to not only match our top competitors but also beat their rates.

The primary factor in determining the value of a scrap vehicle is its weight. The more a vehicle weighs, the more materials are within it ready to be recycled. Additionally, the newer a vehicle is, the higher its worth will be, due to the more advanced materials that be found in newer vehicles. It’s also important to note that any car breakers will be looking for the presence of major parts. If parts are missing, it will negatively affect the final price. As such, it’s not advised to try and remove some of the major parts on your own.

How Many Cars Get Scrapped Every Year?

The UK averages just over 1 million cars scrapped every year. The vast majority of the materials within these vehicles are able to be recycled with a minimal amount of waste. This recycling process allows us to save on our finite resources as well as provide plenty of used car scrap parts that might be hard to find in traditional retailers.
