How Scrap Car Values Are Calculated
The scrap value of a car is determined by two main factors: the weight of recoverable metal in the vehicle and the current market rate for scrap steel and other metals.
Scrap metal prices change daily based on global commodity markets. The rate you see today may be different from the rate next week. Our instant quote tool uses the current live rate to give you a precise figure for your specific car.
The calculator on this page uses typical vehicle weights and recent average metal rates to give you a rough guide. The actual price you receive may be higher or lower depending on your specific vehicle and the rate on the day of collection.
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.
