Why choose Bodmin Car Recovery Coventry to scrap your car?
There are many reasons to consider scrapping an old or junk vehicle:
- The cost of running and maintaining it is too high
- You’re unable to find a private buyer
- Dealerships aren’t interested in purchasing it
If this sounds like your situation, recycling your car is an excellent way to earn some cash for a vehicle that’s otherwise destined to sit unused outside your home.

What to Do Before Scrapping Your Car
Scrapping is one of the fastest ways to dispose of a vehicle at the end of its life. Before you proceed, consider whether the cost of repairs exceeds the car’s value and condition. If the answer is yes, clear out all personal items from the car, including your V5C logbook, service history, and any relevant paperwork in the glovebox. Make sure to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) about your decision to scrap the vehicle, either online or by updating and mailing your V5C form, and cancel your insurance policy.
Don’t forget to cancel your road tax to avoid future payments. You could be eligible for a refund on any remaining tax, but only if you notify the DVLA., schedule a date and time to pick up your car.

cost of scrapping
What is the cost of scrapping your car?
The expense of scrapping a car in the UK varies based on several factors, including location, vehicle condition, size, any necessary pre-scrapping services, and whether you can deliver the vehicle to the scrapyard or require collection. Typically, you can expect to receive between £100 and £500 for scrapping a passenger car or van. If you have mechanical skills, you might be able to increase your earnings by dismantling your car for parts.
paperwork do you need
What paperwork do you need to scrap your car?
Having the correct paperwork is essential when scrapping your car. You should keep your vehicle ownership documents, including the V5C vehicle logbook and insurance paperwork, to demonstrate that you are the registered legal owner. Some scrap yards may also ask for identification to verify your identity and ownership before proceeding with the scrapping process. A driver’s license or another form of government-issued ID will suffice. Additionally, ensure you have your insurance and road tax documentation readily available, and remember to cancel both.
While not always mandatory,
MOT certificates for your car can be beneficial. These documents help the scrap yard evaluate your vehicle’s condition and may influence the value they offer you for scrapping it.
