VW scrap car prices
Common models (Polo, Golf, Passat and Tiguan) span roughly 1,000–1,700 kg, which our formula turns into £180–£295 at £164 per tonne (rate updated 26 October 2026). Your registration gives the exact kerb weight.
On a VW the catalytic converter (or DPF on a diesel) is part of why a complete car is worth more than its steel, but it is inside our per-tonne rate, not a separate line. Leave it on, and tell us at booking if it is missing.

How much is my scrap VW worth?

Do you scrap all VW models?
Yes, we scrap every VW model — from small hatchbacks to large SUVs and vans. Common models we see: Golf, Golf GTi TSi Semi-Auto, Passat, Polo, Polo R-Line TSI Semi-Auto. Whether it's a runner, a non-starter, an MOT failure, or a write-off, we'll collect it for free and pay you on the spot.
Will you collect my VW for free?
Yes. We collect for free across Liverpool, Merseyside, Wirral, Chester, and surrounding areas. We agree a collection time with you when you book.
Can I scrap a VW without an MOT?
Yes. An MOT failure is one of the most common reasons to scrap a car. The MOT status doesn't affect the scrap value — the price is based on weight and condition, not roadworthiness. We collect MOT failures, non-runners, and insurance write-offs.
Do VW catalytic converters have value?
On a VW the catalytic converter (or DPF on a diesel) is part of why a complete car is worth more than its steel, but it is inside our per-tonne rate, not a separate line. Leave it on, and tell us at booking if it is missing.
What about VW hybrid or electric vehicles?
Hybrid and electric VW vehicles require manual quoting due to battery handling requirements. The high-voltage battery needs specialist removal and recycling. Call us at 07722 935042 for a price — we'll quote you in 60 seconds.
How long does it take to get a Certificate of Destruction for my VW?
We issue the DVLA Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of collecting your VW. The CoD is your legal proof that the vehicle has been scrapped at a licensed ATF. We are the ATF — not a middleman — so we issue it directly.
Can I sell VW parts separately before scrapping?
You can, but it's usually not worth it unless you're a mechanic. Our scrap quotes already account for valuable components like the catalytic converter, alloys, and battery. Removing parts reduces your quote proportionally. See our guide on the most valuable car parts to sell before scrapping for details.
