What Is The Difference Between Scrap And Salvage?

Salvage vehicles are typically aged 2012 and earlier and carry a higher value than scrap as they can be salvaged for parts.

Scrap Vehicles, otherwise known as Cat A vehicles, are classed as ELVs (end-of-life vehicles), which can only be crushed for their metal waste.

Whether your vehicle is scrap or salvaged, you can sell both to us hassle-free.

The category of write-off will affect the price offered. To find out more on insurance write-off categories, view our complete guide.

How Do I Remove A Private Reg On My Car?

To remove and keep your private reg, visit the official GOV.UK website to update your records with the DVLA.

Selling Your Write Off With Us

The critical steps to removing insurance write off are:

Send your logbook to your insurance provider. Remove and keep the yellow section called ‘’Selling, Transferring, or Part Exchange this vehicle to a Motor Trader’’ from your logbook before you send it.
Contact the DVLA informing them the vehicle has been written off.
Contact our salvage buying team to receive a guaranteed price for your damaged, broken or faulty car.
