What affects the scrap value of your car in London?
Scrap car prices fluctuate with the metal market, but several factors influence exactly how much you will receive when you sell your scrap car in London.
- Vehicle weight: Heavier cars contain more recyclable steel and typically fetch more.
- Current scrap metal prices: We monitor live market rates daily and pass the benefit on to you.
- Salvageable parts: Working engines, gearboxes, or alloys can increase your payout significantly.
- Location: We cover all London postcodes — from Barnet to Bromley — with no extra collection charge.
Is it legal to scrap a car in London?
Yes — but only when you use an authorised treatment facility like Brits Car Breakers. Selling your vehicle to an unlicensed buyer is illegal under the End of Life Vehicles Regulations 2003 and could leave you liable if the car is used in criminal activity. We issue a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) once your vehicle is processed, protecting you legally and ensuring the car is removed from DVLA records.
