Makes and models

Makes and models we collect

From a twenty-year-old supermini to an early EV, the brand on the bonnet makes no difference to whether it can be collected.

Familiar names

Models we hear about every week

Some common examples, with the faults that usually retire them. Other models are handled identically.

Ford Fiesta and Focus
Britain bought them in huge numbers for decades, so a steady stream of them is now retiring.
Vauxhall Corsa and Astra
Popular first cars and family cars. Corrosion and clutch wear are frequent reasons they retire.
Volkswagen Golf and Polo
Long-lived, but older diesels and DSG gearboxes can bring repair bills that outweigh their value.
Toyota Yaris and Prius
Reliable, so many are scrapped at a great age. Hybrid batteries are removed and handled by the facility.
Nissan Micra, Qashqai and Leaf
From small hatchbacks to early electric cars, all collected.
BMW 3 Series and 1 Series
Premium cars whose repair costs can overtake their value as they age.
Peugeot 207/208 and Citroën C3
Everyday superminis, often retired after an MOT or a gearbox fault.
Renault Clio and Megane
Collected in any condition, from MOT failures to non-runners.
Honda Jazz and Civic
Durable cars, often scrapped when corrosion finally catches up with them.
