Scrap car trends in Derbyshire
Since we help thousands of customers scrap their vehicles every month, we can aggregate trends that we see in your area.
- Vauxhall cars are especially popular with the Corsa and Astra holding the top spots for car models scrapped. The Zafira also features in the top 10.
- Like the rest of the UK, Ford is popular as is Volkswagen. Interestingly the Ford Transit van is the 7th most popular vehicle to be scrapped last year.
- Silver is the colour most popular across Derysbure, with black, blue and grey also popular which follows the national trend.
- Though 2007 is the year most of the cars we scrapped were made, followed by 2006. That gives the average scrap car a 15-16 year lifecycle.
- Based on postcodes, we see most scrap cars come from DE73 around the Melbourne area. Perhaps its proximity to Donnington Circuit is an influencing factor.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can I scrap my car in Derbyshire?
Yes, you can scrap your car across the entirety of Derbyshire– we have 100% coverage across the county. We have a number of scrap yards covering your area that are able to offer the most competitive prices, free collection and great customer service.
What are the scrap car prices in Derbyshire?
The good news is that scrap car prices are directly linked to the weight of your car or van. And those prices reflect the national average across the East Midlands and mainland UK. Our network of approved scrap yards offer competitive prices for your vehicle. If your car is salvaged, rather than scrapped, then we’ll find the best buyer across the United Kingdom to get you the best price nationally.
Can you scrap my specific make and model?
We scrap all well known car makes and models across the country. That includes the newest electric cars to older petrol and diesel models from before the year 2000. We can even scrap imports, classic cars, modified cars and carry out commercial fleet disposal. We use your registration plate to find the specific model and price according to the manufacturer’s weight of the vehicle. On the rare occasion we don’t find your make and model details we’ll escalate your quote to our specialist team to research the vehicle and find you an unbeatable price.
Can my damaged, broken, missing MOT car be scrapped?
Yes we can scrap just about any car or van in any condition. We might need to adjust the prices we offer if there are parts of your vehicle missing. But if you have a damaged car, a car with no current MOT or even if it’s an insurance write off we can get you a price and arrange a collection.

How is salvaging different from scrapping?
Car salvaging is the process of reclaiming the vehicle so it isn’t dismantled and recycled, but instead fixed or stripped for parts. Salvaging nearly always gets you a better price for your car or van, but we do need to know more about the car’s condition. Find out how to salvage your car.
What will happen to my scrap car?
If your car is scrapped then the vehicle will be recycled. This means all of the components and parts will be stripped and processed in line with national environmental standards. Nearly all of the materials will be used to build new cars in what is considered a circular automotive economy. Find out more about car recycling.
