Why choose Car.co.uk for scrapping your Kia?
Car.co.uk offers the very best scrap Kia prices – whether it’s failed its MOT, suffered mechanical issues, or simply reached the end of its life. Our high prices reflect the value in steel body panels, catalytic converters, engines, gearboxes, and reusable electronic components, too. We’ll manage the entire process so you can rest assured your Kia is getting scrapped legally and responsibly and you’re getting maximum value.
There are over 950,000 Kia Sportages, Ceeds, Picantos, and Rios on UK roads. These models are known for reliability. However, many older models reach a point where issues – particularly DPF clogging and vacuum pump failure – make repairs uneconomical. Not only that, but they become hard to sell on. Car.co.uk offers the perfect solution.

What types of Kia cars do we scrap?

Scrap Kia trends in the UK
Scrap Kia statistics in the UK
The oldest Kia we’ve ever scrapped at Car.co.uk was a 1996 Kia Sportage. It was 29 years old at the time of scrapping – not the oldest car we’ve scrapped, but far above the average age of 17.
Kia owners often scrap young vehicles, too, usually when they’ve been badly damaged in an accident. The youngest Kia we’ve scrapped was a Picanto model, which was only 6 years old.
The popular Kia Picanto is the most frequently scrapped Kia model in the UK, so it’s no surprise that the lowest-mileage Kia we’ve scrapped was also one of these. It had just 7,118 miles on the clock.
We once scrapped a Kia Optima with 440,348 miles on the clock. This is over four times the average scrap Kia mileage (108,538) and one of the highest mileage counts we’ve seen.

What happens after you scrap your Kia with Car.co.uk?
Once your Kia is collected, it is transported to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where dismantling and recycling begin. Kia vehicles are built primarily from steel, glass, plastics, and mechanical components, up to 95% of which we can recycle or sell on. Usable parts such as engines, gearboxes, wheels, and body panels may be recovered before the remaining materials are processed responsibly.
What’s more, our scrapping process is very eco-friendly. Our ATFs comply with all UK environmental regulations by safely removing hazardous substances, including oils, coolants, fuels, and batteries to prevent environmental contamination.
Scrap your Kia FAQs
Scrap values for Kias usually range from £100 to £250+, but depend on the car’s weight and the current value of the scrap metal market. Newer models may get a higher price if they have usable parts. When you receive a quote from Car.co.uk, your price is guaranteed for a week to protect both parties from fluctuations in the scrap metal market.
Owners of Kia vehicles will often come across major engine or transmission problems as reasons to scrap their vehicles. This is usually due to the fact that the repair costs exceed the value of the car. In some cases, older models may not come with an extended warranty; this means that an engine overhaul may be needed as your Kia reaches the end of its life.
Yes, you can scrap your Kia once it has been written off, as long as you still own the vehicle, and if this is the case, the insurance company will provide a payout, which is the total value of the car minus its salvage value, meaning you’ll legally be able to scrap the vehicle yourself. Scrapping your Kia will also depend on the category, as insurance providers will handle category A or B write-offs, while you can scrap category S or N cars.
Whether you consider scrapping or fixing your hybrid or electric Kia will depend on how old your vehicle is, how much it’s being used, and whether you have a warranty on your batteries, which can cost thousands of pounds to replace.
Older Kia models have been known to have engine issues that can make them expensive to repair, particularly if they’ve passed their warranty coverage. These include engine failure or seizure, excessive oil consumption, and transmission problems. Repairs for these can cost thousands of pounds, which may not make it feasible to fix when weighed against the car's value.
