VW scrap car prices in Ellesmere Port
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.
Our scrap quotes for VW vehicles are based on kerb weight, catalytic converter or DPF value, and overall condition. We look up your vehicle's weight by registration and give you an instant estimate. The price you see is the price you get — no haggling, no deductions on collection day.

That's fine — we collect non-runners. Just let us know when booking so we bring the right equipment. A car that doesn't run may mean a small deduction, but we'll tell you before collection, not after.
