How the value is worked out
We use the same sum as our instant quote: kerb weight in tonnes × £164 per tonne + a flat £15, rounded to the nearest £5. For a mid-range VW Golf of 1,373 kg, that is 1.373 × £164 + £15 = £240.17, so about £240.
Alloy wheels add £52; the catalytic converter is already allowed for in the rate. Rate last reviewed 26 October 2026. All scrap car prices.
