Edge Cases & Special Situations

Some vehicles don’t fit neatly into a standard scrapping scenario — and that’s exactly what this section is here to address. Whether your car has finance still attached, was abandoned, is registered abroad, or is missing key components like its V5 or keys, we have specialist processes in place to help you navigate the situation safely and legally.

For cars with outstanding finance, we’ll guide you through the steps of contacting your lender and arranging a proper release. If the vehicle was abandoned on your land, we can help determine whether it’s legal to remove it. And if your car was imported or registered outside the UK, there are additional checks and documentation we can walk you through.

From fire-damaged vehicles to scrap cars with no documentation or parts, edge cases require a little more care — but they’re never a problem. We’ve helped thousands of customers deal with non-standard situations, and this section of the site is full of the advice, checklists, and support you need to make sure it’s handled the right way.
