If you’ve got a car that’s seen better days, especially if it’s not running, damaged or without an MOT, you may wonder what your options are. Instead of resigning yourself to losing out completely think about scraping your car; you may be surprised at how much money you can get.
Scrapping a car has long been popular with car owners wanting to make some money from a car that they can no longer drive or sell. Scrapping is also popular with scrap yards and car dealers who can take the car to pieces for parts or simply get scrap metal from it which can they can sell on. Scrap metal is big business with the industry worth an estimated £5.6bn annually and two million cars being scrapped each year.
You’ll be pleased to know how easy scrapping a car can be. Many scrap metal dealers will arrange to pick your car up free of charge and deal with all the paperwork on your behalf. Whenever a car is scrapped it must be done by an authorised scrappage firm who will produce a valid certificate of destruction. The DVLA must be informed of the scrapping otherwise ownership of the vehicle remains with you, so it’s worth making sure that whoever disposes of your car for you is legitimate and authorised. It’s thought that around half of all scrapped cars do not go through authorised dealers. Don’t make this mistake yourself.
Of course scrapping a car is not just good for car owners and scrap metal dealers; it’s also great for the environment. The metal from the car can be used time and time for a huge variety of purposes – train tracks, building materials and even brand new cars. That’s why it’s a great idea to scrap your car even if you don’t receive any money for it.
