FAQs

Can I scrap a car that has failed its MOT?

Yes — MOT failures are some of the most common vehicles we collect in Cornwall. Whether the failure is a dangerous defect, an emissions issue or simply too many advisories to make a repair worthwhile, we'll collect your MOT failure for free and pay you by instant bank transfer.

Do I need to repair the car before you collect it?

No. We collect MOT failures exactly as they are — running or not, roadworthy or not. There's no need to fix, clean or move the vehicle; we handle collection and recovery.

Can you collect an MOT failure that doesn't start or can't be driven?

Yes. Non-runner MOT failures are no problem. Our collection covers vehicles that won't start, have no MOT, no tax or are undriveable, anywhere in Cornwall.

How much is an MOT failure worth as scrap?

Your payout is based on the vehicle's kerb weight and the current scrap metal price per tonne, with extra paid for alloy wheels and batteries. Enter your registration for an instant quote — the defect that caused the MOT failure rarely affects the scrap value.

Will you notify the DVLA that my MOT failure has been scrapped?

Yes. We complete all the DVLA paperwork on collection. If you have the V5 logbook, the notification is instant and you're released as the registered keeper straight away.

Do I need the V5 logbook to scrap an MOT failure?

No — we can still collect without it, but having the V5 to hand makes the DVLA notification instant. We'll guide you through the paperwork either way.
