What can I say...the Company deserves FIVE STARS and if there were TEN STARS , I would have RATED them as such ! ! The Communication was Excellent , as was the Collection of my Car and the Bank Transfer of the Money into my Account ! ! The pick up Driver was exceptionally helpful and my whole experience was a pleasure. Well done Team Car.co.uk and thank you for Providing such a First Class Service.

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.

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

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.

Highly recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

Scrap MG statistics in the UK

Scrap your MG FAQs

Can I scrap my MG without the V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap your MG without the V5C logbook. We’ll confirm identity and vehicle details to keep things compliant overall, then still arrange collection. The key thing is making sure the DVLA is notified correctly, so you’re not chased for tax or fines later. Fortunately, we’ll notify the DVLA for you.

Can you scrap an MG EV safely (like an MG4 EV or MG5 Electric)?
Dropdown Icon

Yes - MG EVs like the MG4 EV or MG5 Electric can be scrapped, but they need the right handling. Especially since they come with complex components like copper-heavy cabling and their high-value (and high-voltage) batteries. You can’t bodge this in a back lot; you need an ATF that can dismantle your car correctly. If the car’s been in a bump, just mention this while booking with us.

What should I do before my MG is collected for scrap?
Dropdown Icon

Before your MG is collected for scrap, clear out all personal items. If you want to keep a private plate, sort the retention with DVLA before the car goes. Once it’s scrapped, it’s too late. Have keys ready if you can, and make sure the vehicle is accessible. If it’s locked behind a gate or otherwise stuck in the garage, flag it at booking; you’ll still get free quotes and collections.

What paperwork do I get when my MG is scrapped?
Dropdown Icon

When your MG is scrapped, you’ll get a Certificate of Destruction - proof that the car’s been scrapped properly. We’ll also help you inform the DVLA so the vehicle doesn’t stay in your name. If that admin’s missed, it can turn into letters and headaches.

Can I scrap my MG if it’s SORN, untaxed, or has no MOT?
Dropdown Icon

You can scrap a SORN MG, an expired MOT one, or an untaxed one. In fact, that’s one of the common reasons people scrap - because driving it isn’t an option anymore. The main thing is access: can the vehicle be collected safely from where it’s parked? If it’s on a tight driveway or has flat tyres, tell Car.co.uk upfront, and we’ll plan for it.
