Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

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 :)

A Top-Tier Car Selling Experience
I just sold my car with Car.co.uk and I have to say, the whole process was incredibly smooth. I got an online quote, and everything went exactly as they said it would. The collection was scheduled at my house, which was super convenient. The driver was a true professional—they were not only efficient but also very kind. As soon as the car was collected, the payment landed in my bank account immediately, which was a fantastic surprise. I highly recommend Car.co.uk for anyone looking to sell their car without any hassle.

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 Subaru statistics in the UK

bulb-icon

The highest-mileage Subaru we’ve scrapped in the UK is an Outback with 233,172 miles on the clock, much higher than the 127,437-mile average. This shows how long Subarus can live if they’re well maintained.

bulb-icon

69.33% of the Subarus we’ve scrapped had manual transmissions. Automatics still made up 28.22%, and are slowly becoming more popular in homes and scrapyards, even though most UK cars are still manual.

bulb-icon

The youngest scrap Subaru we’ve handled was an 8-year-old XV, which shows that new models can still end up in a scrapyard after a serious accident when further repairs are uneconomical.

bulb-icon

The average kerb weight of the Subarus we’ve scrapped in the UK was 1420 kilograms. While that’s not the heaviest, it’s still above our average vehicle scrap weight of 1366 kilograms.

Scrap your Subaru FAQs

Can I scrap my Subaru if it’s been sitting unused for months or years?
Dropdown Icon

Yes - many Subarus we collect haven’t moved in a long time, often because repair costs would just keep stacking up or the car slowly became redundant. As long as you own the vehicle, that’s enough. It doesn’t need to start, drive, or even have a working battery. Get a free quote at Car.co.uk to see your options.

Will I lose money if my Subaru has missing parts?
Dropdown Icon

Missing parts don’t automatically mean a bad price, but they can affect it. For example, a missing catalytic converter or gearbox may reduce the value slightly. That said, plenty of Subarus that we scrap are incomplete, especially older ones, and they’re still worth a lot.

Is scrapping my Subaru better than trying to sell it privately?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping is better than trying to sell for many owners because selling privately can drag on, especially if the car has faults, warning lights or MOT issues. You end up dealing with messages, viewings and negotiations that go nowhere. Scrapping is straightforward. You get a clear price, free collection and fast payment. When you’re ready to scrap, get a free quote from us to learn about your options.

Do I need to be present when my Subaru is collected?
Dropdown Icon

You don’t always need to be present - if your Subaru is accessible and you’ve already provided the necessary details, you don’t have to be there in person. Many owners leave keys with a neighbour or in a secure location. This is especially helpful if work or childcare makes scheduling awkward. We’ll still pay you instantly after collection.

What paperwork do I need to scrap my Subaru legally?
Dropdown Icon

Proof that you own the Subaru is typically enough paperwork for us to scrap your Subaru. Car.co.uk handles all the DVLA notifications for you, which removes a common headache, but if you want extra peace of mind, you can request a Certificate of Destruction once the car is processed to confirm everything has been done properly and legally.
