What scrap cars are worth in Wiltshire

Typical best offers in Wiltshire have been lower than the UK figure: £125 against £167 across all our enquiries. Older, smaller and non-running cars pull the figure down, so a newer or complete car can do noticeably better. Half of all Wiltshire offers landed between £104 and £146.

Cars that still drive and non-runners got much the same typical offer (£126 against £124). Undamaged cars and damaged cars got much the same typical offer (£126 against £122). Diesels typically got £139, against £113 for petrol cars. Over the last 12 months the typical best offer in Wiltshire was £126 (97 enquiries), about the same as £124 in the 12 months before (347 enquiries).

Age and mileage: what they did to offers in Wiltshire

The typical car we priced in Wiltshire was 18 years old with about 121,000 miles on the clock. Age made little difference in Wiltshire: typical offers stayed between £118 and £128 across every band. Cars with over 160,000 miles typically got the most, £141, against £108 for cars with under 80,000 miles. That isn't a reward for miles: 78% of the Wiltshire cars over 160,000 miles were diesels (against 44% overall), usually bigger cars and vans with more value in parts and metal.
