We’ll pick it up free of charge, handle the paperwork, and ensure it’s disposed of safely.
We work with fully licensed Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) and provide you with a Certificate of Destruction for peace of mind.

Do MOT failure vehicles need to be roadworthy to be collected?
No. We collect non-roadworthy vehicles using specialist recovery vehicles at no cost.
Is it legal to drive a failed MOT car to be scrapped?
Only if you have a pre-booked MOT or scrap collection and you're driving directly there. Otherwise, use our free collection.
Do I need to tell the DVLA about the MOT failure before scrapping?
No. Once scrapped, we notify the DVLA and provide confirmation. You don’t need to report the failure.
Will a failed MOT reduce the scrap value?
It may impact value slightly, but most quotes are based on weight and condition, not roadworthiness.
Can I get a quote even if my car failed for emissions?
Yes. Emission faults, DPF issues, or warning lights don’t affect your ability to get a quote.
Do you scrap cars that failed due to rust or chassis damage?
Absolutely. Structural issues are common on older cars and we accept them all.
What if my MOT failure car has no tax or insurance?
That’s fine. We don’t require tax or insurance to collect and scrap the vehicle.
Can I remove personal items or custom parts before collection?
Yes. Just let us know ahead of time, and feel free to remove anything that’s yours.
How soon can you collect a failed MOT vehicle?
In most cases, we can offer same-day or next-day collection depending on your location.
Do you issue paperwork for MOT failure vehicles?
Yes. You’ll receive confirmation of collection and, where required, a Certificate of Destruction.
Will you still collect if the car has failed multiple MOTs?
Yes. It doesn’t matter how many times it’s failed — we can still collect and scrap it.
