Scrap Ford data in the UK
Scrap Ford statistics in the UK
The average kerb weight of the Fords we scrapped was 1,297 kg, reflecting the popularity of smaller city cars like the Ford Fiesta compared to heavier electric trucks like the F-150 Lightning.
The majority of scrapped Fords were manual transmission at 91.63%, while 6.39% were automatic and 1.98% were other types, such as advanced dual-clutch and CVT systems.
The oldest Ford we scrapped was a Transit registered in 1989, making it 36 years on the road, which reflects its reliability with robust engines.
The youngest Fiat we scrapped was a Fiesta, just 2 years old and registered in 2023. This is likely due to significant damage from an accident since this model tends to have a longer lifespan.

What happens after you scrap your Ford with Car.co.uk?
Once your Ford has been collected, it is transported to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), ensuring full legal and environmental compliance. Each vehicle is carefully depolluted before dismantling begins. Hazardous materials such as oils, coolants, batteries, and fuel residues are removed safely to prevent environmental contamination. Reusable components - including engines, transmissions, ECUs, body panels, wheels, and glass - are recovered and returned to the automotive supply chain.
Because Ford is a high-volume UK brand, there’s strong demand for used parts (engines, gearboxes, ECUs, body panels, van doors, wheels), which can make dismantling more viable than repair for owners facing major failures.
Ford vehicles are predominantly steel-based, making them highly recyclable. Any remaining materials are processed responsibly, helping meet UK and EU vehicle recycling targets of up to 95% reuse and recovery. Heavier Ford models (especially Transit/Transit Custom) typically have more recoverable material by weight than superminis, so end-of-life economics often differ between small hatchbacks and commercial vans.
Scrap your Ford FAQs
Most Fords are worth between £150 and £300 as scrap, depending on weight, model, age, and completeness. Larger models like the Transit may be worth more, while popular models such as the Focus often receive higher quotes due to demand for parts.

Yes, you can scrap your Ford even if it has a failed MOT. Once you have your V5C logbook and have gone through an ATF, you can arrange a pickup to scrap your Ford. It’s essential not to drive the vehicle yourself, as it’s illegal and can be hazardous if it has dangerous faults.
Yes, you can scrap your Ford even if it doesn’t start or drive, provided you have proof of ownership, such as your V5C logbook and ID. It’s essential to inform the scrap provider about the vehicle's condition, as collecting it with the wheels still on is typically a more straightforward process than if the wheels are missing or flat, which can require specialised equipment.
Whether to scrap or repair your Ford depends on repair costs compared to the car’s value and its future reliability. For older, high-mileage cars, scrapping while they are still running may yield a better price.
Yes, you can scrap a Ford that has been written off by insurance, but the process can differ depending on the category. In the UK, Category A and B vehicles are typically disposed of by the insurance company; however, Category S and N vehicles, which require repairs, whether structural or non-structural, can be processed through an ATF by the owner.
