If you’re thinking about scrapping your car, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much is my scrap car worth in 2025?
The value of a scrap vehicle depends on several factors — from the weight of the car to its condition and the current market price for scrap metal. At Scrap Car Quote, we make it easy to find out exactly what your car is worth with our instant free scrap car quote tool.
Let’s break down what goes into your scrap car valuation in 2025.
1. Vehicle Weight and Type
The heavier the car, the more metal it contains — and therefore, the higher the scrap value. Larger vehicles like vans, 4x4s and SUVs generally fetch more than smaller cars such as hatchbacks.
At Scrap Car Quote, we accept:
- Scrap cars
- Scrap vans
- Broken or non-running vehicles
- Damaged or accident vehicles
- MOT failures and end-of-life vehicles
2. Condition of Your Vehicle
If your car is still running, has salvageable parts, or is in relatively good condition, you could get more than the base scrap value. In 2025, salvage buyers are especially interested in cars that can be repaired or broken down for valuable parts.
3. Current Scrap Metal Prices
Scrap car prices are linked to the global market value of metals like steel and aluminium. These prices can fluctuate month-to-month. Our advanced pricing technology means your quote reflects the very latest trade prices — so you always get a fair deal.
4. Location and Collection
Where you’re based can also influence the price. Luckily, at Scrap Car Quote, we provide free scrap car collection across the UK, so you don’t need to worry about hidden costs.
5. How to Get the Best Price in 2025
- Compare multiple quotes (we do the hard work for you).
- Be honest about the condition of your car.
- Remove personal items before collection.
With Scrap Car Quote, it only takes a few seconds to see what your car is worth today.
