Why Should I Scrap my Seat?
There are many reasons to scrap your car instead of selling it and therefore keeping it on the road. With global concerns about the environment, material wastage and pollution, we are en-couraged to scrap end of life vehicles, especially scrapping Seat cars for recycling, reusing and reducing waste build-up.
We make sure that all the parts we scrap from the Seats we collect are then re-purposed and given a new lease of life in whatever way they can, keeping materials out of landfill and cutting down on the amount of new parts needing to be produced. We’re firm believers in taking as many small steps as possible to reduce the environmental impact of old Seats – because those little steps all add up.
However, scrapping your Seat isn’t compulsory. You are still free to leave it rusting away in your driveway or you can spend a fortune in repairs to try and make it saleable. But be aware that by scrapping your Seat, you are not only making life simpler for yourself but you are also doing a service by taking a dangerous vehicle off the road while helping the environment. So when is it time to consider selling your Seat for scrap instead of keeping on the road? Here are a few ex-amples of when Seat cars should be scrapped.

Scrapping an Old Seat
No matter how reliable or prestigious your Seat is, there comes a time when repairs cost more than the vehicle’s worth. The older the Seat, the more probability that it will need more serious repairs and replacements. It can be a catch 22 situation: You’ve spent a fortune on repairs so you want to hold on to it, but by doing so, you’ll be creating even more costs in the future; money that could be spent on car loan repayments for a brand new, energy efficient vehicle. Buyers will also be wary of an older vehicle, aware that it will develop problems sooner rather than later. So you can’t expect to command a large price for it, making it a much more financially advisable move to scrap your Seat.
Scrapping a MOT Failure Seat
If your Seat fails its MOT, it’s illegal for you to drive it on the road and you won’t be able to sell it. So you will have to face the repair bill for it to pass, whether you want to have it repaired or not. Repeated failures are a sign that it’s time to scrap your Seat.
Scrapping a Rusted Seat
Rust is the first thing that prospective buyers will notice. Even smaller spots could be hiding a more serious rust problem. Severe corrosion can cause holes in the underside, compromising the safety of the vehicle and resulting in MOT failure.
Scrapping a Damaged Seat
If your Seat has been involved in an accident, your insurance company will need to inspect it to determine whether necessary roadworthiness repairs will cost more than the vehicle’s worth. In which case, your Seat will be considered a ‘write-off’ and it will need to be scrapped.

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!

We will also give you a certificate of destruction. only authorised centres are able to provide this. The certificate provides evidence the vehicle has been taken off of the road and scrapped.
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.
Make sure to give the full details of the scrap yard or recycling center, as well as the car details including registration, make, model, and date of sale.
The DVLA will need this information in order to remove the vehicle from their records and avoid any penalties for unlicensed vehicles.
By law, all scrap yards and recycling centers must be licensed by the Environment Agency, so you can be confident that it will be disposed of safely and responsibly.
