Donor gone begging!
Was promised a H reg 1.8 Sierra 3 doors away when it failed its MOT..
Guess what? Failed its MOT, too much to fix and he got 2K off a brand new Micra....
What happens to the cars taken in part ex from the scrappage scheme? Any way I can find it a strip the back end out??

I think they need to be scrapped and cant be salvaged 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I thought you could only trade cars in with an MOT ?

But what does scrapped mean? To the DVLA it certainly means that the car is destroyed, but all the parts can normally be sold on from a scrapped car -
exactly what happens with a breakers yard.

Why would they use that as a condition when they are going to be scrapped?

Because the rest of the scheme makes no bleedin' sense, why should that bit ?

The car will sent to a breakers yard. Ask the garage that send it off where it's going to and then contact Mr Scrappy.
DVLA will be notified that it is a Scrappage car and the yard will have instructions that the car must be broken for spares. The Scrapyard up the road
from me told me that he'd sell a complete car if someone asked, but he'd put the gas axe through the VIN numbers.......

But they don't just crush them whole.
They're not allowed to.
At the very least it has to go somewhere to have the tyres and all the fluids removed.
I'm pretty sure they must get broken rather than just crushed whole. They can't really be properly recycled if the entire fresh car is
cubed!
And as far as I know they *are* being recycled rather than just being dropped into big pits in the ground! 
Cheers,
James

By law they *should* be drained of fluids and squashed, with no parts to be recycled
Its a crying shame seeing some of the cars being crushed

Well there's plenty sitting in my local scrappy that have come from the scheme & they're all being broken for spares like the rest of
the stock.

This could be interesting for the "no donor" route. Now where's the nearest scrappy to me and can I fit a V6 in my boot?

The having an MOT thing is because its meant to be a car you've owned and have been driving, its to make it more difficult for people to cheat
the system.
How many people must there be out there with half stripped cars that might otherwise just put enough on them to look like cars then get 2K or more
towards a new one.
My cousin (Who works at a dealership) said that the scrappie they were using had lists of parts people wanted if the right car came through.
The sad thing is I've seen cars out the back of dealers going to be scapped that were in better condition than some of there 06 plate cars out
front.
