Scrapping your car in Plumstead
There are dozens of reasons as to why you might want to scrap a car in Plumstead.
Perhaps your car is too expensive to maintain and run, or has recently failed its MOT and you don’t have the money to make the necessary repairs. For this reason, car scrapping in London is becoming an increasingly popular choice for people with old cars, and many people are choosing to scrap their car for cash instead of trying to fix it or sell it themselves. Scrapping a vehicle is a reliable and efficient way to get rid of an unused or unwanted vehicle off your hands for good!
It’s no surprise that older cars are notoriously difficult to run and repair, not forgetting the amount of money that will need to be spent maintaining it during its short life. People are often attracted to older cars because of their classic style, but if it’s making you lose money then perhaps it’s time to invest in something that’s more fuel efficient and cheaper to run.
Older vehicles are also becoming increasingly harder to sell, as people are now much more conscious about the environment and the effects fumes can have on the atmosphere. Many older cars aren’t fitted with catalytic converters either, so people tend to go for newer and more efficient models that do have them fitted.

A scrap car removal service removes unwanted vehicles for recycling. The registration of the car must be surrendered to the recycler in order to cancel the vehicle tax.
Direct Debits for car tax will be automatically cancelled by the DVLA, and any months remaining on the tax will be refunded. A check will be issued and made out to the registered keeper of the vehicle.
In the case that you own the vehicle but you are not the registered keeper, you can write or contact the DVLA with proof of your ownership, such as a bill of sale.
Please include your name, address, and registration number. Additionally, be sure to mention that you want the car tax refund sent to your address.
Once our collector has inspected the vehicle and confirm that it is as the seller has claimed, they will then proceed to make payment.
This helps to protect both parties from any complications and is line with our network terms. Our collector also needs to check the vehicle is as the seller has claimed to confirm it’s worth the full value of the quote.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for choosing our service.
If you have lost the keys to your car, don’t worry – we can still scrap it for you. Just leave it to us and when we contact you to confirm your details, please let us know if there are any obstructions or height restrictions that could make it difficult to recover. You can sell your car for scrap without the keys, but you will need to provide us with paperwork proving vehicle ownership and there may be deductions from your final payment for any inconvenience and extra work for the scrap dealer who collects it. Thanks for choosing Scrap My Car!
