Vans are the workhorses of British business, but like all vehicles, they eventually reach the end of their working life. Whether you have a small panel van or a large box van, the scrapping process is similar to cars but with some important differences.
Van Scrap Values
Vans are typically heavier than cars, which means they contain more scrap metal and are often worth more. A Ford Transit, for example, can weigh between 1,800 and 2,500 kilograms depending on the variant, making it significantly more valuable for scrap than an average car. Large vans like the Mercedes Sprinter or Iveco Daily are heavier still.
Commercial Vehicle Documentation
The paperwork for scrapping a van is the same as for a car. You need the V5C logbook, photo ID, and proof of address. For company-owned vans, you will also need a letter of authorisation from the business. If the van has been used for commercial purposes, ensure any business branding or signage is removed if you prefer.
Condition Does Not Matter
We buy vans in absolutely any condition. Accident-damaged, engine failures, MOT failures, flood damage, fire damage, high mileage, or simply worn out from years of commercial use. Our auto salvage team processes all types and sizes of van.
Fleet Disposals
If you are a business with multiple vans to dispose of, we offer fleet disposal services. We can arrange collection of multiple vehicles at once, provide consolidated paperwork, and offer competitive bulk pricing. Contact us for fleet quotes.
Van Parts Are in Demand
Commercial vehicle parts are always in high demand through our used car parts service. Engines, gearboxes, sliding doors, rear doors, and interior trim from popular van models sell quickly, which means your van may be worth more than base scrap value.
Free Collection for All Sizes
Our collection fleet includes trucks capable of transporting any size of van. Whether it is a small Citroen Berlingo or a large Luton box van, we collect for free from anywhere in Scotland.
