Scrapping MOT Failures, Damaged and Electric Cars
Check the extra condition, ownership and safety details needed for MOT failures, accident damage, insurance write-offs, electric cars and hybrids.
Different vehicles can use the same quote process, but they do not all need the same recovery plan. Give the exact registration and explain whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers and brakes, as well as any missing parts or restricted access.
For an MOT failure, describe the faults that affect movement or safe loading. For collision damage, report leaking fluids, deployed airbags, loose panels, damaged wheels and whether an insurer owns the salvage. Do not arrange collection until any finance or insurance interest is clear.
Electric and hybrid vehicles need the exact model, battery condition, warning lights, charging or isolation information and collision damage disclosed. This helps the recovery and receiving treatment site plan for the actual vehicle rather than assuming it can be handled like an undamaged petrol or diesel car.
