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.

Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price
Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price to scrap my car, all the booking online was straightforward and they were able to collect it the next working day. The driver let me know exactly when he was coming and 2 minutes after he had arrived, the car was gone with no issues. He was very polite and friendly. No complaints :)

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.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

Scrap my car in Newham FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Newham?
Dropdown Icon

The average scrap car payment in Newham is £271, although the amount offered for your vehicle can vary depending on factors such as weight, condition, make, model and current metal prices. Some cars may also have extra value if parts can be reused or the vehicle is suitable for salvage rather than only recycling. Check your scrap car value online and get your personalised quote in under 30 seconds.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Newham?
Dropdown Icon

No, you don't need to be present when your scrap car is collected in Newham. If you can't attend, another person aged 18 or over can meet the driver on your behalf, as long as they have access to the vehicle and any required documents or keys. This can be useful if your car is parked at a workplace, driveway or near local areas such as Stratford or the Royal Docks. Plus, we'll confirm the handover arrangements beforehand.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C log book in many cases. You'll normally need photo ID, proof of address and any other supporting records that can help confirm ownership, such as MOT certificates or service history. The checks may take slightly longer without the usual paperwork, but we'll guide you through the process before arranging collection.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Newham?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a SORN vehicle in Newham, and it doesn't need to be taxed or insured while waiting for collection. The car must remain off the public road and be accessible from a private location, such as a driveway or storage area. When you scrap your car online, the Certificate of Destruction process also handles the DVLA update and removes the SORN status.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, keys are not required to scrap your car. Lost or missing keys are common and won't normally affect the price you've been offered, as specialist equipment can be used to move the vehicle when needed. The valuation is based on the vehicle itself, including its condition, weight and potential parts value, rather than whether the keys are available.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Newham?
Dropdown Icon

To scrap your car in Newham, you'll usually need your V5C log book, along with photo ID and proof of address. Having these ready can help speed up the process, but if your logbook is missing, you may still be able to continue using alternative ownership information. We'll explain exactly what paperwork is needed before collection.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, a Certificate of Destruction is issued within 7 days of your vehicle being processed. Car.co.uk takes care of the DVLA notification automatically, and once the CoD has been completed, the previous owner is removed from the DVLA register so responsibility for the vehicle comes to an end.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, a car with outstanding finance cannot usually be scrapped until the agreement has been settled or the finance provider gives permission. The lender retains a legal interest in the vehicle while finance remains active, so you'll need to contact them first. Once everything has been cleared, we'll help you understand the next steps and arrange collection.

Can I scrap a car with no MOT in Newham?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Newham. A missing MOT does not reduce the scrap value or prevent collection, and many older vehicles become uneconomical to repair due to issues such as worn brakes, tyres or suspension. Whether the car has failed its test or has simply been left unused, it only needs to be accessible for the collection team.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before the car is scrapped, but you need to arrange this before the vehicle is destroyed. You can apply to retain or transfer the registration through the DVLA online service or with a V317 form, as the plate must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction is issued.
