Reasons to Scrap Your Ford
- Regardless of how reliable your Ford may be, there will come a time when the repairs will cost more than the vehicle is worth. Fords that are older will generally require more expensive repairs and replacements.
- Has your Ford recently failed its MOT? It’s illegal to drive on the road and it will be illegal for you to sell it. In other words, if you want to keep the car, you have to pay the repair bills.
- Fords are usually scrapped if the bodywork is severely rusted. A few small rust spots on the bodywork could hide a more serious rust problem. It is possible for rust and corrosion to cause holes in the underside of your Ford, which will compromise its safety and result in a failed MOT.
- Last but not least, people often turn to Ford scrap services after their car has been involved in an accident. The insurance company needs to inspect the case to determine whether repairs will exceed the vehicle’s value. The car will be considered a ‘write-off’ and will need to be scrapped.

Main Issues with Ford’s
Ford models are some of the most popular cars in the country, but like any car – they can cause issues. As years go by, the mileage will increase, and more mechanical problems will arise.
Ignition Misfires: When you first hear about a car misfiring, you automatically think about the reliability of the car and whether you really want to be driving round, knowing that when you embark on your next journey, you are unsure if the car will start or not. Reliability is obviously a big factor when driving, as you want to know that you can trust that your car will start every morning before going to work!
Engine Oil Leaks: The problem with oil leaks is that this can be a catalyst for other problems to take place. They can also cause a horrible and unsightly stain on your driveway which is very hard to remove. There are many reasons why you should scrap your ford today!

How Will Scrapping My Ford Benefit Me?
Before going ahead with anything that you invest your time and money into, you want to be aware what the outcome will be like for you. Ultimately, you want to be sure that this process is going to have a positive impact on your life, and this positive impact will be; an old, decrepit car out of your hands, a sum of money which you can put towards a newer, more reliable car and a top-quality service from a friendly team which will leave you feeling happy and satisfied.
Negative Safety Implications of Owning an Old Car
Classic Ford vehicles have a reputation of being significantly less safe than a newer car. They can cause financial trouble, due to the sheer expense and maintenance of car parts. However, that isn’t the only the damaging effect that an old car can cause. Safety is key and driving round a car with an abundance of implication can cause a heightened risk to your life, as well as your passengers and other drivers on the road.
Newer, more reliable cars are now fitted with updated features to improve the dependability and appearance; as well as feeling more secure in your own car, which is the main aim.

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.

Without this document you could potentially still be liable for insurance or road tax. We are an authorised centre and can provide you with the certificate of destruction for your vehicle.
If you don’t have a registration certificate, you can still contact the DVLA to let them know your car has been scrapped.

The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.
