There are many reasons you might want to scrap your old car in Woking. Most often, the car has simply failed its MOT and the cost to repair it is greater than the value of the car, rendering it worthless. If your car has been in an accident this can be another reason. Other times, something can go wrong with a car whilst the owner is already considering a new vehicle. Because, just diagnosing a fault in a car can be expensive, you may consider simply scrapping the car instead.

The government’s car scrappage scheme provides some extra encouragement to scrap an old car to a few people in Woking. If your old car meets the strict requirements set out by the government, you may be able to get a discount on a new car by scrapping your old car.

The most pressing need to scrap your car in Woking probably stems from the fact that any car must be taxed unless it is declared off road. The car must still be taxed even if it is completely broken. It’s best to scrap the car before its tax disk expires in order to avoid paying out again for road tax. It’s actually possible to claim back the road tax for any time left on a tax disk when you scrap a car.

Scrapping an old car is also good for the environment. Old cars are far less fuel efficient than newer cars, which means that they produce larger amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. When someone scraps an older car in favour of a newer one they can greatly reduce their carbon footprint.
