Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

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 Toyota statistics in the UK

bulb-icon

The lowest-mileage Toyota we’ve scrapped in the UK is a Yaris with just 7,470 miles on the clock. This was due to a road accident and doesn’t reflect the average mileage capability of the model.

bulb-icon

The oldest Toyota we’ve handled is an FJ40 with 41 years of driving behind it, proving that these cars can last well beyond expectations with enough care. This was one of the oldest cars we’ve scrapped.

bulb-icon

The most popular engine size of the Toyotas we’ve scrapped was 998cc, which is one of the smallest engine sizes among all our car data. The vast majority of cars are at least over 1000cc.

bulb-icon

The average kerb weight of the Toyotas we’ve scrapped in the UK was 1150 kilograms. This is slightly below our average weights for the other vehicles we’ve scrapped, although it should still command a reasonable price.

Scrap your Toyota FAQs

Do I need to have my Toyota taxed or insured before scrapping it?
Dropdown Icon

No, your Toyota doesn’t need to be taxed or insured to be scrapped, as long as it’s off the road. Once it’s collected, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification so you’re not left dealing with letters or refunds later. That’s one less admin task hanging over you when the car’s already done its time.

What paperwork do I actually need when scrapping my Toyota?
Dropdown Icon

You’ll usually need to have the V5C logbook, but if it’s missing, we’ll request some other forms of identification. We’ll take care of the DVLA side, which matters because if that’s done wrong, fines and tax issues can follow you around. A Certificate of Destruction will also be provided, either physically or digitally.

Will my Toyota still be collected if it’s damaged or missing parts?
Dropdown Icon

In most cases, yes - accident damage, failed bodywork, or mechanical issues aren’t a problem. Even if parts have been removed, your Toyota may still be accepted, though it can affect the final price. The key thing is honesty when booking - accurate details upfront avoid delays or awkward conversations when the driver arrives. Get a free quote at Car.co.uk to see what your options are.

Can I scrap a Toyota that’s been sitting unused for years?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, cars left on driveways or in garages often reach a point where repairs just don’t make sense anymore. Even if the battery’s dead, tyres are flat, or it hasn’t started in ages, Car.co.uk can still collect it. As long as it’s complete, it still holds scrap value.

Does having a hybrid Toyota affect the scrap price?
Dropdown Icon

A hybrid Toyota can sometimes positively affect the scrap price - hybrid Toyotas contain additional components like battery systems and electrical parts that can influence value. That said, condition still matters. A damaged hybrid might still be worth more than a basic petrol model, but pricing depends on demand at the time. The quote you get reflects all of that in one number, which you can get for free with us.
