What scrap cars are worth in Scotland

The typical best offer across Scotland has been £152, close to the £167 we see across the UK. Half of all Scotland offers landed between £128 and £181.

Cars that still drive and non-runners got much the same typical offer (£150 against £154). Undamaged cars and damaged cars got much the same typical offer (£153 against £150). Diesels typically got £176, against £134 for petrol cars. Over the last 12 months the typical best offer in Scotland was £154 (488 enquiries), about the same as £151 in the 12 months before (1,226 enquiries).

Age and mileage: what they did to offers in Scotland

The typical car we priced in Scotland was 16 years old with about 111,000 miles on the clock. Age made little difference in Scotland: typical offers stayed between £150 and £155 across every band. Cars with over 160,000 miles typically got the most, £170, against £134 for cars with under 80,000 miles. That isn't a reward for miles: 83% of the Scotland cars over 160,000 miles were diesels (against 45% overall), usually bigger cars and vans with more value in parts and metal.
