What determines your van's scrap value
Scrap prices are driven primarily by the van's kerb weight, heavier vans yield more on the scrap metal market. Beyond weight, condition matters: a van with a serviceable engine and intact drivetrain may qualify as salvage rather than scrap, which typically pays above the weight-based rate. We price both simultaneously and return the higher offer.
The underlying scrap metal market fluctuates with commodity prices, so the number you see today may differ from what you'd see in three months. There's no benefit to waiting if you have a van you want to move.
Certificate of Destruction
Every van we collect is processed at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), a legal requirement under the End of Life Vehicles Regulations 2003. The ATF issues a Certificate of Destruction, which is submitted to the DVLA and removes the vehicle from the register. From that point you have no further liability for road tax or insurance.
