Why scrap your car in Bromley?

There are many reasons you might want to scrap your old car in Bromley. Perhaps most frequently, the car has failed its MOT and is too expensive to repair. Less commonly, a car can develop a fault whilst the owner is already considering the purchase of a new vehicle. Because, just diagnosing a fault in a car can be expensive, you may consider simply scrapping the car instead.

For a few people in Bromley the government's car scrappage scheme provides an extra incentive to scrap their car. Should your old car meet the strict rules laid out by the government, you may be eligible for a £2,000 discount of the OTR price of a new car when you scrap your old one.

The most pressing need to scrap your car in Bromley probably stems from the fact that any car must be taxed unless it is declared off road. This is true even if the car is broken and not in use. In this case, it is best to scrap the car before the road tax expires and you have to spend money on a car you longer want. When you scrap a car that still has time left on its tax disk you can claim back the road tax for the time remaining.

Scrapping an old car is also good for the environment. Newer cars are far more fuel efficient than older ones, meaning that they produce much smaller amounts of greenhouse gases. Scrapping an old inefficient car in favour of a new one allows you to reduce your carbon footprint. By always reusing or recycling as much of a scrap car as possible, we at Scrap Car Bromley are able to maximise the environmental benefits.
