An accident write-off is one of those situations where everyone seems to be telling you what your car is worth — and the number keeps getting smaller.
Insurers use their own valuations. Salvage dealers lowball. Meanwhile, your car is sitting in a compound costing you storage fees.
scrapcar.london cuts through the noise. We assess accident damaged vehicles fairly, based on what they're actually worth as scrap and salvage — not what's convenient for someone else's balance sheet. We collect from your home, from compounds, or directly from insurance depots. Payment on collection, paperwork sorted.
The price of a scrap car isn't random — it's driven by weight, current metal prices, and what salvageable parts are still on the vehicle. Here's how it works.
Breaking a car for parts can theoretically net you more than selling it as scrap. But is it worth the effort? Here's an honest assessment.
Scrapping a car involves specific DVLA obligations. Get them wrong and you remain legally responsible for the vehicle — including fines and offences committed after you've handed it over.
Free collection across London and the South East. No hidden fees, no moving goalposts.
