Most non-runners still have value.
Reg and mileage. We'll give it to you straight.
Most Toyotas are worth more than scrap
Before you scrap it, get an outright offer from us first. Even non-runners often have value for export, parts, or restoration. Send the reg via /vehicle-valuation and a real buyer comes back in 2 hours. If we can't buy it outright, we route you to scrap. Nothing lost, and you might bank real money on a Toyota you thought was done for.
How scrap works
Four steps. Two days end-to-end.
Submit your reg + condition notes
Tell us briefly: write-off Cat A/B, non-running, EV with dead battery, etc. We confirm the route within 4 hours.
Free collection
A licensed scrap site collects free and handles the heavy lifting. Non-runners get a flatbed.
Certificate of Destruction issued
You get your Certificate of Destruction within 48 hours, digital copy plus a paper copy by post.
DVLA notification + your scrap payment
DVLA notified so the vehicle leaves your name. Scrap payment (£100 to £600 for most Toyotas) to your bank on collection day.

FAQ
Scrap vehicle FAQ
What's the difference between selling and scrapping my Toyota?+
Selling: your Toyota still has resale value (we buy outright at /vehicle-valuation). Scrapping: the vehicle is end-of-life, written-off, irreparable, or non-roadworthy. We handle scrapping through Environment Agency licensed facilities.
Will I get any money for a scrap Toyota?+
Yes, but typically less than a running vehicle. Scrap value depends on weight, catalytic converter, battery condition (if hybrid/EV). Expect £100–£600 for most Toyotas, more for hybrids with intact battery packs.
What's a Certificate of Destruction (CoD)?+
Legal document issued when your vehicle is scrapped. Required by DVLA to permanently remove the vehicle from your name. We obtain the CoD and submit all DVLA paperwork on your behalf.
Do I pay road tax (VED) until collection?+
Yes, until SORN'd or scrapped. Once collected and CoD issued, we notify DVLA. You can claim a partial VED refund for any unused full months.
What if my Toyota just won't start but isn't written-off?+
Try /vehicle-valuation first. Non-runners get lower offers but aren't always disqualified. A faulty-but-repairable car might be worth more than scrap — let us check before assuming scrapping.
