Scrap my van in Rothwell
A van works hard, and when it finally gives up it can leave a business stuck. If you are searching "scrap my van Rothwell", We Buy Scrap Cars Corby can help. We buy vans up to 3.5 tonnes, from small car-derived vans to long-wheelbase panel vans, Lutons and pickups, and we collect them free.

Trades vans and small business vehicles
Rothwell has a lot of tradespeople, and with the A6 and the A14 close by, vans here cover serious miles. That takes its toll on clutches, gearboxes and bodywork. We often hear from:
- Builders and plumbers who have just replaced their van.
- Sole traders whose van failed its MOT on rust or brakes.
- Small businesses retiring an ex-fleet van with high mileage.
- Families clearing a van left behind by a relative who ran a trade.
Whatever the reason, the process is the same as for a car.
Van scrappers that come to you
We collect vans from driveways, roadsides, yards and business premises. Because we use our own recovery trucks, the van does not need to run. Vans with seized brakes or flat tyres are fine, and we have dollies and skates for awkward spots.
Let us know if the van is in a yard with a narrow gate, or behind a house, so we can bring the right truck.
Is it time to scrap the van or fix it?
For a working van, every day off the road costs money. If a garage has quoted for a new clutch, gearbox or major welding on an older, high mileage van, compare that bill with what the van is worth and how long it is likely to keep going. When the numbers do not add up, scrapping it and putting the money towards a replacement is often the practical call. Our scrap or repair guide can help.
Empty the van before we arrive
This is the most important step for a van. Take out all tools, materials, racking contents and stock before collection day. Check the cab, the door pockets, under the seats, and the load area. Remove any tracker or dashcam you want to keep, and any business paperwork.
If the van is signwritten with your business details, it is worth thinking about whether you want them removed before it goes. Cancel any fuel cards, toll accounts or parking permits linked to the registration.
How much is my scrap van worth?
Vans are priced like cars. Weight matters most, and vans are generally heavier than cars, which tends to help. The price is based on the current scrap metal market, then adjusted for the make and model, whether the van is complete with its engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels, whether there are keys and a V5C, and the location.
| What affects the price | What it means for your van |
|---|---|
| Weight | Larger vans usually weigh more |
| Complete vehicle | Missing parts lower the price |
| Keys and V5C | Makes the sale simpler |
| Location | Part of the online price calculation |
The online price stands as long as the van is complete and as described. Our scrap van cost guide and our guide on how scrap car prices work go into more detail.
Paperwork for a business van
Whoever sells the van needs photo ID and proof of address, because the law requires us to check. Hand over the V5C if you have it and keep the yellow slip. If the van is registered to a business, have proof that you can sell it on the company's behalf.
The van goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and tells the DVLA. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically, but you need to cancel the insurance yourself.
Payment
We pay instantly by bank transfer when we collect. Cash payments for scrap metal are illegal under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, and that includes vans.
