What Cars Can I Get Paid For?

  • A vintage black Volkswagen car parked on an empty parking lot during sunset, with trees in the background.

    Cars, vans, and 4x4s

    Whether you’re scrapping a small city car, a family people carrier, or a large 4x4, we’ll make sure you get the best possible price. Vans and commercial vehicles are often worth more due to their heavier weight, meaning you could get paid more for your old work van compared to a standard car.

  • An abandoned, rusted vintage car with missing parts, sitting in a grassy field near a body of water under cloudy skies.

    Non-Runners and MOT Failures

    If your vehicle won’t start, or the repair bill after an MOT failure is higher than the car’s value, scrapping is often the best option. We’ll collect your non-runner at no extra cost, so you can still get paid without the hassle of moving it yourself.

  • Red car with significant damage to the front right side, including a crumpled fender, dented hood, and broken headlight, secured on a flatbed truck.

    Accident-Damaged Vehicles

    Even if your car has been in an accident and is no longer roadworthy, it still has value as scrap. We work with licensed scrap yards who will safely recycle the usable parts and materials, so you can still pocket cash for your damaged car.

  • Several cars parked in a row on a concrete lot with trees and greenery in the background.

    End-of-Life Vehicles Ready to Recycle

    Cars that have reached the end of their life cycle — whether due to age, wear and tear, or high mileage — can be responsibly scrapped and recycled. We’ll ensure your vehicle is taken to an authorised treatment facility (ATF) and that you get a DVLA Certificate of Destruction for peace of mind.
