Scrap my van, Glasgow and the Central Belt

More than a car of the same age, usually, because vans are heavier and the drivetrains have stronger second-hand demand. A tidy Transit, Vivaro or Sprinter at end-of-life typically sits in the £300–£900 band, sometimes higher if the engine, gearbox or DPF are worth pulling for parts. Send the reg and a couple of photos and we'll quote against the actual van rather than a generic figure.

Yes, that's a big chunk of our work. Ex-courier Combos and Caddys, builders' Transits, refrigerated panel vans, Luton box vans, and end-of-lease fleet vehicles all come through. If you've got more than a couple to clear we can collect them in one run and hand back consolidated paperwork, see our commercial dismantling page.

Welding a rotten Transit sill or chassis outrigger often costs more than the van is worth once it's at that age, so scrapping and putting the money toward the next one is frequently the sensible call. We'll tell you straight: send the MOT failure sheet and the reg, and we'll give you the scrap figure so you can weigh it against the repair quote.

Yes. It doesn't need to run, have an MOT, or even have a working battery. We winch it onto the truck. As long as the wheels roll and the steering unlocks we'll get it loaded, off a yard, a driveway, a depot or the side of the road. SORN'd vans are fine too.

Yes, by bank transfer on collection, same as a car. We send the payment from the kerb so you can check it's landed before we drive off. Cash for scrap has been illegal across the UK since 2013, so anyone offering you notes for a van is best avoided.

Ideally the V5C and your ID. If the V5C is missing we can still scrap it on a driving licence plus proof of address. For company-owned vans we'll need a quick authorisation from the business. Either way we handle the DVLA notification and you get a Certificate of Destruction confirming it's legally scrapped.
