Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

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.

Scrap my car in Sutton FAQs

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

The average price for scrap cars in Sutton is £268. This price can be higher or lower depending on the weight, condition, make and model of the vehicle, as well as current metal prices. If the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap value alone, it can also affect the price. For the most accurate scrap car prices, enter your car registration and postcode, and we'll offer the best price in under 30 seconds.

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

No, you don't have to be present in person for us to collect our scrap car in Sutton. You can ask another adult aged 18 or over to meet the driver for you, they'll just need access to the vehicle, all the required documents and the keys (if available)

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that doesn't have a V5C logbook. You'll need photo ID, proof of address and supporting paperwork like MOT certificates and service history to help show ownership instead. A missing logbook might mean checks take slightly longer before collection can be arranged, but we'll still make a quick payment once everything is in order.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without an MOT in Sutton. MOT status won't affect the scrap valuation or collection, so cars with MOT failures can still be collected. The main requirement is that the vehicle is accessible for collection.

Which areas of Sutton do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We will collect your car from any postcode within Sutton, including areas such as Beddington and Carshalton. Our free car collection service is available from any home, workplace or roadside location that has access. We also cover nearby parts of the wider area, including Croydon, Banstead and Morden, so enter your postcode to get a scrap quote in Sutton at competitive prices, and we'll confirm availability as soon as possible.

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

You will need your vehicle's V5C log book to scrap it in Sutton, as well as photo ID and proof of address. Our V5C log book guide can help if you're unsure. If the logbook is missing, you can still arrange collection in most cases, and we'll talk you through the paperwork you need.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request a Certificate of Destruction, we'll issue it within 7 days. Car.co.uk handles DVLA notifications automatically, and the CoD removes you from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility on your part.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, all outstanding finance must be settled before you scrap your car, unless the finance company gives consent. Lenders usually maintain a legal interest in the vehicle until your agreement with them ends, so check in before booking, and we'll help you with the next steps and paperwork.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before scrapping your vehicle, but you must apply to retain or transfer it before you can sell your car for scrap. You can do that online through the DVLA website or by filling out a V317 form. The registration must be removed before a Certificate of Destruction can be issued.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you will be able to scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but you'll need proof of identity, written authority from the registered owner (if possible) and supporting paperwork showing a legitimate reason for the car being in your possession, such as a gift letter, a will, inheritance documents or a statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can advise on your situation before beginning our vehicle disposal services.
