Scrapping a non-running car or MOT failure

A car that will not start can still be considered for a scrap collection enquiry. Tell On and Gone how it moves and where it is, so we can assess collection in Rotherham, S63 or nearby.

Three useful checks — no mechanical knowledge needed

• Starting: does the engine start, or is it a non-runner?
• Movement: can the car roll and steer, or are the wheels locked?
• Access: can a collection vehicle reach it without a blocked route or height restriction?

Only describe what you know. Do not push, jack up or test an unsafe vehicle to answer the questions.

Failed MOT or expensive repair?

You can request an indicative scrap offer while deciding what to do. Compare it with a repair estimate and the value of keeping the car. An MOT failure alone does not mean every vehicle has to be scrapped.

Missing keys, flat tyres or seized brakes

These details matter for collection planning. Mention them in your request, along with any missing wheels or major components. The team needs to review the situation before confirming arrangements.

At a garage or on shared land?

Use the vehicle's collection postcode and arrange permission to access it. Tell us about gates, opening hours or restrictions that could prevent collection.

Start with your registration on the homepage, then provide the condition and collection details. See how condition affects an offer and prepare for handover.
