Scrap my car

You might consider scrapping your car if it's old, damaged, or no longer roadworthy. Scrapping lets you get a fair price quickly, free up space, and ensure your vehicle is disposed of safely and legally.

We purchase scrap vehicles in the same way we purchase any other vehicle. You will need to take your vehicle to any of our 500+ branches across the UK, where we can purchase your vehicle.

To find your nearest branch, visit our branch locator.

Documents and accessories

• V5C logbook.
• Service history (if available).
• Both sets of keys (if available) and any extras (e.g. locking wheel nut, radio, and sat nav security codes).

Identification

• Photographic proof of ID (e.g. driving licence or passport).
• Proof of address from the last 9 months (e.g. utility bill, council tax bill or bank statement).

If the address on your driving licence matches your V5, proof of address is not required. If you use a passport as your proof of ID, proof of address is still required.

Financial details

• Your bank details (so webuyanycar can set up the payment).
• If your car has outstanding finance, an in-date letter from the car finance company confirming the settlement amount.

Additional documentation may be required if you are selling on behalf of others, see the FAQ 'Can I sell a car on behalf of a friend, family member or company?', 'Can I sell a car when the owner has passed away?'.

If you're still unsure and want to learn more, we've created a guide for documents you need to scrap your car.

With our standard payment method, you’ll receive payment within four working days. However, if you select our Immediate Payment option, you can get paid within 15 minutes (fees apply).

If we buy your car for under £500, you can select our next working day or Immediate Payment option at no extra cost.
