What affects the value of your scrap car

Scrap car value isn't a fixed price — it's calculated from a few key factors. Here's what we look at when we quote your vehicle.

Vehicle weight

Heavier vehicles yield more scrap metal, so kerb weight is the biggest factor in your quote.

Scrap metal price

We pay based on the current scrap metal price per tonne, which moves with the market.

Alloy wheels

A full set of alloy wheels adds extra value over steel wheels.

Battery

A vehicle battery still in place adds a little extra to your scrap quote.

Catalytic converter

Catalytic converters contain precious metals and can add real value, especially on larger cars.

Condition & completeness

A complete vehicle generally pays better than one missing parts — add notes when you book.

FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Cornwall?

Your scrap car's value depends on its kerb weight, the current scrap metal price per tonne, the type of wheels, the battery, the catalytic converter and the overall condition. Enter your registration for an instant, weight-based quote.

How is the scrap car value calculated?

We start with the vehicle's kerb weight multiplied by the current scrap metal price per tonne, then add extra for alloy wheels, batteries and catalytic converters where applicable. Heavier vehicles are worth more, and a complete vehicle generally pays better than one missing parts.

Do alloy wheels increase my scrap car value?

Yes. Alloy wheels are worth more than steel wheels, so a vehicle with alloys (especially a full set) will usually attract a higher scrap quote. Tell us how many alloy wheels are on the car when you book.

Does a catalytic converter add value?

Often yes. Catalytic converters contain precious metals and can add real value to your scrap quote, especially on larger or newer vehicles.

Is my scrap car worth more if it's complete?

Generally yes. A complete vehicle with its engine, battery, wheels and catalytic converter in place is usually worth more than one that's been stripped of parts. Add condition notes when you book for the most accurate quote.
