How the Scrap Value of Your Car Is Worked Out
The scrap value of a car comes down to two things: the weight of metal in the vehicle and what that metal is currently selling for on the commodity market. Steel makes up roughly 65% of a typical car by weight, with aluminium, copper and precious metals in the catalytic converter adding to the total.
Scrap metal prices shift every working day. The rate today may differ from the rate next week, which is why our instant quote tool pulls the live market rate when you enter your registration rather than using a fixed price.
This valuation tool uses typical kerb weights and recent average metal rates to give you a ballpark figure. The actual price you receive will depend on your specific vehicle and the rate on the day of collection. Our scrap car prices guide breaks down every factor in full detail.
What Affects the Price?
Vehicle Weight
The single biggest factor. Heavier vehicles contain more metal and earn a higher scrap price. SUVs and estates typically earn more than city cars.
Current Metal Rate
Scrap steel prices fluctuate daily. We track the market every day to ensure our quotes reflect the current going rate.
Reusable Parts
Some vehicles have parts that carry salvage value above straight scrap. This is factored into quotes where it applies.
Condition
Extreme damage may reduce weight through missing components but most faults and damage have minimal impact on scrap value.
