Scrap my van in Caldecott: how it works

If you are thinking "scrap my van" in Caldecott, the process is the same as for a car. Go to our instant price page and enter the van's reg and your postcode. Your price appears on screen. Accept it, add your details, and we call to arrange collection at a time that suits you.

We buy vans of any age, make or model, up to 3.5 tonnes.

Which vans do you buy?

Small car-derived vans.
Medium and long-wheelbase panel vans.
Luton box vans.
Pickups and 4x4 utility vehicles.
Ex-fleet and business vans.

They can be running, non-running, MOT failures or damaged. A van that has done years of farm and village work in the Welland valley is exactly the kind of vehicle we deal with.

Van scrappers for trades and farms

Around Caldecott, a lot of vans belong to sole traders, smallholders and farm businesses. When one finally gives up, it often sits in a yard while the owner gets on with work. We can collect from business premises and farm yards as well as driveways and roadsides, so the van does not need to be moved first.

If you have a pickup and a car to get rid of at the same time, mention it. Some of our trucks carry one vehicle and tow a second.

When is it time to scrap a van?

A working van earns its keep until the repairs start eating into what it earns. Common tipping points are a failed MOT on corrosion, a clutch or gearbox going, or a replacement van arriving and the old one being surplus. If you are unsure, our scrap or repair guide sets out the questions to ask. A van parked up and unused still needs a SORN if it is untaxed, so scrapping it can save you that admin too.

Empty it before we arrive

This is the big difference between scrapping a van and scrapping a car. Vans tend to fill up with tools, materials and kit. Please clear the load area completely before we arrive. That includes:

Tools, toolboxes and racking you want to keep.
Building materials, offcuts and waste.
Ladders and roof rack items.
Paperwork, fuel cards and parking permits in the cab.
Dashcams, trackers and sat navs.

Also check the glovebox, door pockets and under the seats. If the van is registered to a toll or parking account, cancel it.

What is a scrap van worth?

Vans are often heavier than cars, and weight is the main factor in scrap value. The current scrap metal price also matters, along with:

Factor	Why it matters
Weight	Scrap is priced per tonne
Completeness	Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels
Make and model	Some vans are worth more than their weight
Keys and V5C	Simpler loading and paperwork

See our scrap van cost guide for more on how prices are worked out. The online price stands as long as the van is complete and as described. If something is different on the day, we explain it before we load.

Getting a van out of the valley

Caldecott sits at the bottom of Rockingham Hill, and a heavy van with failing brakes or a dead engine is not one to coax up that slope. We collect with recovery trucks from Rapid Recovery Corby, George Mitchell's other business. Spec lifts and tilt-and-slide transporters handle vans that run or do not.

Paperwork for business vans

If the van is in a company name, the person selling still needs photo ID and proof of address, and it helps to have the V5C. If you have lost the logbook, our guide to scrapping without a logbook explains what proof works instead.

We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect. Cash for scrap vehicles has been illegal since the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which suits business owners who need a clear record anyway.

After the van has gone

Every van goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction, normally within 7 days, and notifies the DVLA. Keep the CoD for your business records. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically. Cancel the insurance and remove the van from any fleet policy.
