London is the busiest city in the UK for traffic, which is interesting considering an estimated 41% of households in the region don’t own a car. With so much infrastructure in and key connections to the M1 and M25 orbital, most of the traffic comes from commuters heading in and out of the city on a daily basis. This creates a lot of stop-start traffic that can have a huge impact on the wear and tear of older vehicles, which is why a lot of drivers are choosing to get rid of their ageing cars.

Find a trusted car breaker in London
Finding a car breaker in London can be hard. You need to make sure they’re registered as Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) and have a scrap metal licence. Plus, you want one that will give you a good deal. To remove all that hassle, Car.co.uk has compiled a large network of trusted car breakers who have spent years working in the London area. And we use specially-formulated algorithms to calculate the highest value components of your car to give you the best quote for your vehicle.
We’ve scrapped every type of car across London, from the 2018 Dacia Logan MCV to a 42-year-old Vauxhall and everything in between. As you can imagine, the majority of the cars we’ve had in recent years have been fuel-based, with around 72% of them being petrol and 28% being diesel. The introduction of ULEZ has had a lot to do with these statistics, with a push towards non-compliant cars being removed from London roads since 2019. And we’ve done a lot to help with that.

If you drive a vehicle through the capital and it isn’t compliant with London’s ULEZ, such as petrol cars that are not Euro 4 and diesel vans that are not Euro 6, then you have to pay a daily charge of £12.50. That’s around £3,250 a year if you’re commuting for work on the weekdays. And that’s on top of all the additional costs that come with driving and parking in London, not to mention insurance and repairs. The question is whether your car is worth it. If the answer is no, you should consider taking it to a car breakers yard.

The car breaker may also decide to fix your car and sell it on.
