What is a scrap van worth?
Scrap is bought by the tonne, and vans are often heavier than cars, but weight is only one factor. The current scrap metal price, the make and model, whether the van is complete with engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels, keys, the V5C and the location all count. Racking, shelving and ply lining are not usually extra value. The scrap van cost guide and our guide to how scrap car prices work explain it.
Clear it out before we arrive
Vans come with more inside them than cars, so this matters:
- Tools, power tools and chargers.
- Materials, stock and offcuts.
- Paperwork in the cab, door bins and sun visors.
- Trackers, dashcams and phone holders you want to keep.
- Fuel cards and permits.
Once we have collected, the van goes to a licensed treatment facility and we can't get anything back. Cancel any fleet, toll or parking accounts linked to the registration as well.
Business vans
The seller still needs photo ID and proof of address, because we are required by law to check who is selling. Have the V5C ready. If the van is registered to a company, call us first and we will tell you what helps. Payment is by bank transfer, which keeps a proper record for your books.
Vans that won't move
A van that has been parked behind a workshop or on a farm with flat tyres and a seized handbrake is no problem. Our trucks come from our sister company, Rapid Recovery Corby, and carry winches, dollies and skates. On a sloping drive or tight yard, tell us when we call so we bring the right truck. See non-runner collection in Wilbarston if the van is completely dead.
Payment, licences and paperwork
We pay instantly by bank transfer on collection. We never pay cash. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes paying cash for scrap illegal, vans included.
We hold a waste carrier licence and a scrap metal collector's licence. The van goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically. Keep the Certificate of Destruction with your business records. Our Certificate of Destruction guide explains what it proves.
Collecting more than one vehicle
Firms replacing several vans at once, or a farm clearing an old pickup alongside a car, can often have both taken in one visit. Some of our trucks carry one vehicle and tow another. Get a price for each one online, then mention when we call that they are at the same address so we can plan the trip.
Private plates on work vans
Some firms put a private plate on the van. If you want to keep it, transfer or retain it with the DVLA before collection. Once scrapped, it is lost.
Is it time to let the van go?
If the van has failed its MOT on rust, the clutch or gearbox is going, or repairs keep stacking up and you are hiring vans to cover the gaps, scrapping is often the sensible move. Our scrap or repair guide can help you decide.
