Volvo Scrap Trends
Known the world over for being an industry leader in safety measures and reliability, the figures we’ve seen make for interesting reading. Here’s what we’ve found while looking at Volvo statistics over the past twelve months.
Most scrapped models
Volvos enjoyed one of the most even spreads of scrap models we’ve seen across all brands this year. The most commonly scrapped model was the V50, but only accounted for 15% of all Volvos we helped to scrap. The V70 came second at 13% and the XC90 taking third, also clocking 13% of all Volvos. The S40 took fourth with 11% of the share, and the C30 rounded out the top five with just under 10%.
Most scrapped year/average age
Volvos enjoy a strong reputation for reliability and that is very much backed up by our data. Results show that Volvos typically survive until they’re 19 before being scrapped, some three years more than the national average. This is with modern models such as the XC40 only reaching five yeard and the S90 only reaching seven. Most other models tend to last between 17 and 19 years, while the older models still on the road (such is their strength in reliability) like the 850, 940 and 740 have all lasted 30, 31 and 37 years on average.

What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
When a car is salvaged, the buyer will break it apart and retrieve any surviving parts from inside that can be resold or reused in other vehicles. Salvage cars are usually worth more than scrap. Scrap vehicles are simply crushed and their materials are then recycled.
What happens to scrapped cars?
When you sell your car as scrap, it will be recycled by one of our licensed end-of-life vehicle professionals. They will dispose of your car safely and legally, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
How much are scrap vehicles worth in the UK?
Scrap Car Comparison finds prices that are based on the average value of scrap metal in the UK. This is because the scrap value of a car is mostly influenced by its overall weight. Heavier vehicles are made from more metal. There are other, more complex factors involved, but weight is the big one.
