Understanding Scrap Car Prices in the UK

Scrap car prices across the UK are determined by a combination of factors, including the weight of the vehicle, current metal market rates, regional demand, and the presence of valuable components like catalytic converters or alloy wheels. Vehicles with rare or high-performance parts often achieve a higher scrap value than standard models.

At BlackburnScrapyard.co.uk, we update our live scrap car price index daily, ensuring you get the most accurate market estimate when scrapping your car or van. Whether you’re based in Blackburn, Accrington, Preston, or further afield, our competitive rates are designed to reflect real-time market conditions and local collection logistics.

Heavier vehicles such as SUVs, vans, and estates often command a premium due to their higher metal content, while lighter hatchbacks and compact cars may receive a slightly lower payout. Seasonal factors — like winter demand for metal recycling — can also affect pricing trends throughout the year.

Below you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the most recent scrap prices we've paid for a wide range of vehicle makes and models. All quotes are based on genuine recent transactions with customers across Lancashire and the UK.
