How much is my Daihatsu worth for scrap?
A Daihatsu Cuore is typically worth £130 to £210 for scrap. A Daihatsu Charade is typically worth £130 to £210 for scrap. A Daihatsu Sirion is typically worth £130 to £210 for scrap. Newer or damaged Daihatsus are often worth more for their parts, from £800 to £4,000+. Your price is based on the car itself, not just its weight, and a Daihatsu that does not run or has failed its MOT is still bought.
Daihatsu stopped selling new cars in the UK more than ten years ago, so used parts are the main source for owners. That keeps demand steady for the cars we collect.

Why do Daihatsu owners scrap their cars?
Rust
Older Sirions and Terios models can rust on the sills, arches and underneath.
Hard-to-find parts
With no Daihatsu dealers left, some repairs take longer and cost more.
Age and wear
Every Daihatsu on the road is now an older car, and small MOT faults add up.
Should you scrap your Daihatsu or sell it?
| Your Daihatsu | Best option |
|---|---|
| Running, with a long MOT and no big faults | Selling it privately or part-exchanging it may get you more |
| Failed its MOT, or needs a repair that costs more than it is worth | Scrap it with us: free collection and same-day payment |
| Newer, or damaged in an accident, flood or fire | Sell it to us for salvage: the parts are worth far more than scrap |
| Not running, or off the road with a SORN | Scrap it with us: we collect it as it is |
Scrap or salvage?
Scrap means the car is too old or worn to be worth repairing, so it is taken apart, the reusable parts are sold and the rest is recycled. Salvage means the car still has valuable parts, or could be repaired, so it is worth more. Your quote tells you which applies to your Daihatsu and shows you the higher figure.
Is there a Daihatsu scrappage scheme?
We are not aware of a Daihatsu scrappage scheme running at the moment. Manufacturers and dealers sometimes run part-exchange offers on new cars, so it is worth asking your local dealer. If there is no offer, or you are not buying new, scrapping your Daihatsu with us usually gets you the most for it.

What you need to know before you scrap your Daihatsu
Every scrap car has to go to a licensed scrap yard. Our yards are dismantlers, licensed by the Environment Agency or its equivalent, so your Daihatsu is dealt with legally and the parts that can be reused are put to use. By law, scrap cars cannot be paid for in cash, so you are paid by bank transfer the same day.
Have your keys, your logbook (V5C) and photo ID ready when the driver arrives. We tell the DVLA the car has been scrapped, and within 7 days you get a Certificate of Destruction, the official proof it has gone. Any road tax you have paid is refunded automatically.
Daihatsu scrap questions
How much is my Daihatsu worth for scrap?
Most Daihatsus we buy are worth between £130 and £520 for scrap, depending on the model and its condition. Newer or damaged Daihatsus can be worth £800 to £4,000+ for their parts. Enter your reg and postcode for your exact price.
Will you buy a Daihatsu that does not run or has failed its MOT?
Yes. We buy every Daihatsu as it is, whether it runs or not, has failed its MOT or has been off the road with a SORN. Collection is free.
Do you buy Daihatsus with faults like rust?
Yes. Older Sirions and Terios models can rust on the sills, arches and underneath. We price your Daihatsu on its parts and weight, so a big repair bill does not stop us buying it.
Is there a Daihatsu scrappage scheme?
We are not aware of one running at the moment. Dealers sometimes run part-exchange offers on new cars, so it is worth asking. If you are not buying new, scrapping with us usually gets you the most for your Daihatsu.
Is my Daihatsu worth more for parts than scrap?
Often, yes, if it is newer or has been damaged. Your quote already takes this into account, so you will see the higher figure.
Can I scrap my Daihatsu without the logbook (V5C)?
Yes. Have photo ID and proof of address ready instead, and we will tell the DVLA for you. It does not change your price.
How will I be paid for my Daihatsu?
By bank transfer, the same day it is collected. By law scrap cars cannot be paid for in cash, so be wary of anyone who offers it.
What happens to my Daihatsu after it is collected?
Our yards are dismantlers, so the parts that can be reused are sold and the rest is recycled. We tell the DVLA for you and you get a Certificate of Destruction, the official proof the car has gone, within 7 days.
