Should You Scrap Your Toyota or Sell It for Salvage?
Updated: February 2026
Scrap is the right choice when... | Salvage pays more when... |
Prius hybrid battery failed (P0A80), pre-2009 high mileage | Prius engine runs but has cosmetic/suspension fault -- hybrid system intact |
Prius inverter failed (P0A94), outside ZE3 warranty window | 2010-2015 Prius with P0A94 -- check ZE3 warranty before scrapping |
1ZZ-FE engine seized due to oil consumption | 1ZZ-FE burning oil but still running -- salvage buyer may still want it |
Avensis 2.2 D-4D with all 4 injectors failed, engine not starting | Avensis T27 estate with DPF fault -- engine starts, body and interior intact |
Category B insurance write-off (crush-only designation) | GR Yaris in any condition -- G16E-GTS parts demand is exceptionally high |
High-mileage Yaris or Corolla with multiple faults, minimal value | Any Land Cruiser or Hilux that starts and moves under its own power |

- Scheme Ended 2010
Is There a Toyota Scrappage Scheme in 2026?
No. There is no active Toyota scrappage scheme in 2026. The most recent Toyota scheme ended on 30 September 2020. Under that scheme, owners of vehicles registered on or before 30 September 2012 could receive GBP 2,000 off most new Toyota models, or GBP 4,000 off the Hilux or GR Supra. No scheme is currently active and Toyota has not announced a replacement. Location-based clean air zone schemes in London, Birmingham, and Scotland remain available to eligible owners of non-compliant vehicles.
Toyota ran a series of manufacturer scrappage schemes to support sales of cleaner and hybrid models. The final scheme required a trade-in vehicle registered on or before 30 September 2012, owned by the current keeper for at least 6 months, with no restriction on fuel type. Savings ranged from GBP 2,000 on models including the Aygo, Yaris, and Corolla to GBP 4,000 on the Hilux and GR Supra. The scheme ended on 30 September 2020 and has not been restarted.
Toyota has not participated in any UK government-backed national scheme since the original 2009 programme and has not announced any manufacturer scheme for 2026. As a Japanese-owned manufacturer that has consistently led hybrid vehicle adoption in the UK, Toyota’s marketing focus is now on the bZ4X battery electric vehicle and the updated Prius PHEV rather than on trade-in incentive schemes.

- Toyota Scrapping FAQs
How much is a Toyota Yaris worth as scrap?
A Toyota Yaris (P1, P9, XP130, or XP210 generation) is worth GBP 110 to GBP 260 for scrap and GBP 205 to GBP 390 for salvage in early 2026. The Yaris is the most scrapped Toyota in the UK, accounting for 29% of all Toyotas scrapped nationally (ScrapCarComparison data). The 1NZ-FE 1.0 and 1.3 litre petrol engines are known for longevity and do not suffer the oil consumption fault of the larger 1ZZ-FE, meaning a high-mileage Yaris with a running engine can attract salvage interest above the straight scrap price.
What is the most scrapped Toyota in the UK?
The Toyota Yaris is the most scrapped Toyota in the UK, accounting for 29% of all Toyotas scrapped. The Corolla is second at 15% of all Toyota scraps, and the Avensis is third at 13% (ScrapCarComparison data). Toyota as a brand re-entered the UK top 10 most scrapped brands in 2025 with a 3.5% market share -- its first top-10 appearance since 2022 -- reflecting an ageing population of early-2000s and mid-2000s models reaching end of life.
Is there a Toyota scrappage scheme in 2026?
No. There is no active Toyota scrappage scheme in 2026. The most recent Toyota scheme ended on 30 September 2020 and offered GBP 2,000 to GBP 4,000 off new Toyota models for owners trading in a vehicle registered before 30 September 2012. Toyota has not announced a replacement scheme. Location-based ULEZ and CAZ schemes in London, Birmingham, and Scotland remain available to eligible Toyota owners with non-compliant vehicles.
Can I scrap a Toyota Prius with a dead hybrid battery?
Yes. A Toyota Prius with a failed hybrid battery -- including one showing fault code P0A80 (Replace Hybrid Battery Pack) or the red triangle warning light -- is accepted for scrap at the full weight-based price. The battery pack weight is included in the vehicle weight, so a dead battery does not reduce your scrap price. Before you scrap, if your Prius was registered between 2010 and 2015, check whether a failed inverter (fault code P0A94) is covered by Toyota's ZE3 Warranty Enhancement, which extends inverter coverage to 15 years with unlimited mileage. A cost-free dealer repair may still be available.
Does the 1ZZ-FE oil consumption fault affect my Toyota Corolla or Avensis?
The 1ZZ-FE oil consumption fault affects Toyota Corolla and Avensis models built between 2000 and mid-2005 with the 1.8 litre VVT-i engine (engine code 1ZZ-FE). The related 3ZZ-FE (1.6 litre) and 4ZZ-FE (1.4 litre) in the Corolla of the same period share the same design flaw. Toyota issued a Service Bulletin in May 2006 and extended the warranty on affected engines to 7 years/111,846 miles. All affected vehicles are now outside this warranty period. A compression test will confirm whether piston ring wear is causing oil consumption. If diagnosed on a high-mileage Corolla or Avensis, a short-block rebuild costs GBP 1,200 to GBP 2,500 -- often more than the car's value.
What fault code means my Prius needs a new battery?
Fault code P0A80 means Replace Hybrid Battery Pack and indicates the traction battery in the Prius has degraded to the point where the voltage imbalance between individual cell modules exceeds the system threshold. Fault code P0A94 relates to the inverter assembly rather than the battery itself and may be covered by Toyota's ZE3 Warranty Enhancement on 2010 to 2015 Prius models. Both fault codes illuminate the red triangle warning light. The hybrid system warning (yellow) is a less severe alert and does not always mean the battery needs replacing -- it can be triggered by a failed 12V auxiliary battery, a blown fuse, or a faulty sensor.
What is a GR Yaris worth for salvage?
A Toyota GR Yaris (GXPA16 generation) with the G16E-GTS 1.6 litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine (261 PS) is worth significantly more for salvage than scrap in virtually all conditions. The G16E-GTS engine is in high demand from performance and motorsport buyers, and the GR4 all-wheel-drive drivetrain and Torsen limited-slip differentials also attract specialist buyers. A GR Yaris with a running engine can realise GBP 750 to GBP 2,500 or more for salvage. If your GR Yaris has been written off or has sustained significant damage, enter your reg and you will automatically receive both the scrap and salvage prices to compare.
Can I scrap a Toyota that is on finance?
Not until the finance is fully settled. Under a hire purchase or PCP agreement, the finance company legally owns the vehicle until the final payment is made. You cannot legally scrap, sell, or transfer ownership while any balance remains. Contact your lender for a settlement figure, pay it in full, and obtain written confirmation before booking collection. A personal unsecured loan (not a finance agreement secured against the vehicle) is different -- in that case you already hold legal title and can proceed immediately.
