Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

Scrap car statistics in Derby
The most common engine size we see in Derby is 1,598cc, accounting for 9.5% of vehicles we've quoted and collected. This suggests that mid-sized everyday cars make up a lot of the local scrappage profile.
The highest vehicle mileage we've seen in Derby was on a 22-year-old 2004 Ford Fiesta that had 821,112 miles. That's around 7 times the local average of 120,380 miles before scrapping.
The lowest mileage we've seen in Derby was a 22-year-old 2004 Ford KA that had just 191 miles. This was likely due to being written off or kept in long-term storage.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Derby?
The driver who collects your scrap vehicle will check all the paperwork and confirms the collection details first. We will make a quick payment by bank transfer the moment they leave, so you'll be paid straight away. After that, your car will be taken directly to one of our licensed scrap facility sites for intake. On arrival at an authorised treatment facility, the assessment team will confirm the details of your car are correct before any work begins.
The first stage of our responsible recycling process is depollution, where technicians remove hazardous materials and fluids to help protect the environment. Skilled technicians will dismantle your car and remove any reusable parts, setting aside components such as valuable catalytic converters and other key systems as part of our recycling service. Our recycling teams aim to recycle 85% of the scrap vehicles they work on, and reuse 95%, with the team crushing and shredding any remaining metals so nothing lingers on site.
Scrap my car in Derby FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Derby?
The average price paid in Derby for scrap vehicles is £273, although this price can vary based on weight, condition, make, model and current metal prices. Salvageable vehicles usually earn more than those at end-of-life, so if you want an accurate scrap car value, get a quote from us and we'll price it against live market demand to find the best price for your scrap.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Derby?
No, you won't have to be present in person for the collection of your scrap car in Derby. You can nominate someone to meet the driver instead, but they must be over 18 and have the keys, relevant paperwork and your permission to release the vehicle.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, but you'll need photo ID, proof of address and supporting paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership instead. Not having a V5C logbook can slightly lengthen the free scrap collection process.
How long does it take to scrap my car in Derby?
Same-day or next-day scrap car collection is available for most cases in Derby. You can get a price online in under 30 seconds and then choose your preferred pickup time slot. If you request a Certificate of Destruction, it will usually be issued within 7 days.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
No, Car.co.uk will notify the DVLA as part of the Certificate of Destruction process to keep the process as stress free as possible. You will only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the register and ends further responsibility for the vehicle.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Derby?
To scrap your car in Derby, you'll need your V5C log book, a photo ID and proof of address. If you don't have your V5C logbook, we can still usually help you with other ownership details. We'll also guide you through the paperwork so the handover is as straightforward as possible and recorded compliantly.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, we will issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing on request. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and the CoD will remove the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
No, any outstanding finance must be settled before you can scrap your vehicle. Either that, or the finance company must give consent before the vehicle can be scrapped. The lender maintains their legal interest in the car until that happens, so you must clear the remaining balance or contact the provider for permission. We can help you with this part of the process.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Yes, you will be able to keep your private number plate if you scrap your car. You will need to go through the DVLA retention or transfer process before the vehicle is dismantled to reclaim your reg, and the plate must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction can be issued. You can do this by applying online at the DVLA website or by using a V317 form.
Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Derby?
Yes, you can scrap a car that doesn't have an MOT in Derby. MOT status won't affect scrap valuation or prevent us from collecting it. The main requirement is access to your vehicle for loading.
