Should You Scrap Your Honda or Sell It for Salvage?
Updated: February 2026
Scrap is the right choice when... | Salvage pays more when... |
CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC with P2146 -- confirmed ECU injector driver failure, repair uneconomic | CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC with P2146 but engine history clean -- specialist buyer may repair ECU for GBP 500 |
Jazz or Civic Hybrid with P1449 IMA failure -- dealer battery cost GBP 1,500-2,500 vs GBP 500-1,500 car value | Jazz or Civic Hybrid with P1449 but otherwise excellent condition -- salvage buyer replaces battery economically |
High-mileage Accord or CR-V automatic transmission failure -- GBP 1,200-2,500 rebuild cost | Any Honda Civic Type R (EP3, FN2, FK8) in any condition -- K20/K20C1 parts demand always high |
Category B insurance write-off (crush-only designation) | Any running Civic, Accord, or CR-V regardless of age -- Honda reliability reputation sustains used parts demand |
Fire or flood damage throughout vehicle | First-gen NSX (NA1 C30A / NA2 C32B engine) or second-gen NSX (NC1 3.5 V6 twin-turbo) -- extreme salvage premium |
Civic i-Shift (P0810) with multiple additional age faults on a 200k+ mile car | Low-mileage Civic i-Shift with P0810 only -- clutch actuator is single repair to return to full operation |

Is There a Honda Scrappage Scheme in 2026?
No. Honda has never had a standalone manufacturer scrappage scheme. Honda participated in the UK Government’s 2009 national scheme — the GBP 2,000 incentive was available toward a new Honda under that programme. No Honda manufacturer scheme has existed before or since. Honda closed its UK manufacturing plant in Swindon in March 2021. Honda cars are now imported from Japan and Thailand. Honda UK has not announced any scrappage or trade-in incentive programme for 2026. Location-based clean air zone schemes in London, Birmingham, and Scotland remain available to eligible owners of non-compliant Hondas.
Honda is the second brand in this series — alongside Land Rover — that has never run its own standalone scrappage scheme. Honda’s reasoning is consistent with its brand positioning: Honda does not compete in the high-volume budget segment where scrappage incentives have the most commercial impact.
Honda’s UK volume was concentrated in the Civic, Jazz, and CR-V — models which, given Honda’s reliability reputation, were less likely to reach end-of-life quickly enough to benefit from a scrappage push.
Honda’s UK manufacturing story is a significant context for this page. The Honda Manufacturing UK plant in Swindon opened in 1985 and at its peak produced the Civic, Jazz, CR-V, and Accord. The Civic, Jazz, and CR-V — the three most scrapped Honda models in the UK — were all manufactured in Swindon. Honda announced the permanent closure of the Swindon plant in February 2019, with the final car rolling off the line on 30 July 2021. Honda cars in the UK are now manufactured in Japan (Jazz, CR-V hybrid, HR-V) and Thailand (Civic). UK-made Hondas from the Swindon era carry a badge of heritage that resonates particularly with British buyers — and many are still on UK roads.

- Honda Scrapping FAQs
How much is a Honda Jazz worth for scrap?
A Honda Jazz (GD1/GE6/GK5) is worth GBP 100 to GBP 220 for scrap and GBP 180 to GBP 420 for salvage in early 2026. The Jazz is the second most scrapped Honda in the UK at 21% of all Honda scraps. A Jazz showing the IMA hybrid battery fault code P1449 but with a running engine may be worth more for salvage than for scrap -- specialist hybrid buyers can rebalance or replace the IMA battery for GBP 400 to GBP 900 and return the car to full operation. Enter your reg and the system returns both values.
What is the most scrapped Honda in the UK?
The Honda Civic is the most scrapped Honda in the UK, accounting for 45% of all Honda scraps (ScrapCarComparison data). The Jazz is second at 21% and the CR-V third at 18%. The Civic's dominance reflects its long production run and volume in the UK market -- it has been sold continuously since 1972. Honda's above-average reliability means the most scrapped Civic year is 2006, consistent with cars reaching scrap at 18 to 20 years old rather than the UK average of 14 to 15 years.
Is there a Honda scrappage scheme in 2026?
No. Honda has never had a standalone manufacturer scrappage scheme. Honda participated in the UK Government's 2009 national scheme -- the GBP 2,000 incentive was available toward a new Honda purchase under that programme. No Honda manufacturer scheme has existed before or since, and Honda has not announced any scrappage incentive for 2026. Honda closed its UK Swindon manufacturing plant in July 2021 and now imports all UK-market cars from Japan and Thailand. Location-based clean air zone schemes in London, Birmingham, and Scotland remain available to eligible owners of non-compliant Hondas.
What is the Honda Jazz IMA fault code and what does it cost to fix?
The Honda Jazz hybrid IMA battery fault code is P1449 (Battery Module Deterioration). When this code is logged, the IMA warning light illuminates and the Integrated Motor Assist system is disabled -- the car continues on petrol only but loses the hybrid performance and fuel economy benefit. IMA battery replacement at a Honda dealership costs GBP 1,500 to GBP 2,500 plus fitting. Specialist independent hybrid garages charge GBP 400 to GBP 900 for a reconditioned or rebalanced battery pack. On a Honda Jazz with a low residual value, the dealer cost is frequently uneconomic -- a salvage buyer who repairs the battery themselves will often pay more than the scrap price.
What is the Honda CR-V 2.2 diesel fault code P2146?
Fault code P2146 on the Honda CR-V 2.2 i-DTEC diesel (engine code N22B2) indicates Fuel Injector Group Supply Voltage Circuit Open. The fault presents as sudden loss of power, limp mode, and then a no-start condition. When scanned, P2146 appears to affect all four injectors simultaneously -- but this usually means the ECU injector driver circuit has lost its voltage supply, not that all four injectors have physically failed. The correct repair is specialist diagnosis of the wiring harness or ECU injector driver. ECU rebuild costs GBP 500 to GBP 1,200. On a 2007 to 2012 CR-V, this is sometimes economic but is frequently uneconomic when combined with high mileage.
Should I scrap or sell a Honda Civic Type R?
A Honda Civic Type R should almost always be offered for salvage rather than scrap. The EP3 Type R (2001-2005, engine code K20A2, 200hp) and FN2 Type R (2007-2011, engine code K20Z4, 201hp) have strong used engine and parts demand in the UK tuning and motorsport community. The FK8 Type R (2017-2021, engine code K20C1, 320hp) has very high salvage value even with high mileage or accident damage -- parts are expensive new, creating strong demand for used components. Enter your FK8, FN2, or EP3 reg -- the salvage price will typically be significantly higher than the scrap price based on weight alone.
Can I scrap a Honda with a failed IMA battery?
Yes. A Honda with a failed IMA battery is accepted for scrap or salvage at the same guaranteed price as any other Honda. The IMA battery failure -- whether showing fault code P1449 or simply losing charge -- does not reduce the scrap price, which is based on vehicle weight. However, a Honda Jazz, Civic Hybrid, or CR-V e:HEV with a failed battery but a running engine is frequently worth more for salvage than for scrap. The ATF is legally required to safely discharge and depollute the IMA or e:HEV high-voltage battery before processing -- Scrap a Vehicle uses only ATFs with the correct hybrid depollution equipment and certification.
