Your scrap value depends on three factors: catalytic converter condition (intact cats with platinum group metals add £80–£450), salvageable parts (engine, gearbox, body panels), and the current scrap metal market rate.

How Does London’s ULEZ Create Croydon’s Massive Diesel Scrappage Wave?
Croydon sits within London’s expanded ULEZ – every non-compliant vehicle faces £12.50 daily charges. That creates massive diesel scrappage decisions across CR postcodes. South Croydon and Purley’s affluent postcodes produce premium vehicles, while Thornton Heath and Broad Green add budget economics. The Westfield redevelopment has stalled but the commercial centre remains London’s largest outside the West End. If your end-of-life vehicle has failed its MOT or ULEZ charges make it uneconomical, Croydon’s London ATF access ensures competitive prices at local scrap yards.
