Non-Runners and Damaged Vehicles
There are many reasons why your vehicle may be classified as damaged or written-off, whether it’s a car park shunt, road traffic accident, or MOT failure, it may be time to say farewell to your old vehicle.
At scrapmycarairdrie.scot, we buy any car, and we'll come and collect your damaged or written-off vehicle.
We will try to make the process of selling your damaged car as painless and straightforward as possible. From quick online or telephone quotes to prompt collections, we are proud of our hassle-free service.
When we say that we buy any car, we really mean it.
There are four key classifications that your vehicle will be categorised as if it is a non-runner or has been damaged.
Category A
Scrap only. This is for cars so badly damaged they need to be crushed and never return to the road. Even salvageable parts must be destroyed.
Category B
Body shell must be recycled. The car has suffered extensive damage and must not return to the road. Some component parts may be salvaged and fitted to other vehicles.
Category S (formerly category C)
This grading means that the vehicle has suffered structural damage, possibly the chassis has been twisted or body shell crumple zones collapsed.
This level of damage is more than merely cosmetic, so the vehicle must be professionally repaired before it can be allowed back on the road.
Category N (formerly category D)
Vehicles graded accordingly have not been structurally damaged, although the vehicle has been deemed uneconomical to repair. Brake, steering, electrical or emission control systems can be expensive to repair to insurance company standards in comparison the the value of an older car. Such vehicles must not be driven unless the faults are repaired.
We just need your vehicle registration and your phone number to begin with. You can then either call us or ask us to call you to finalise the details. We'll then provide you with a quotation, and if this is acceptable to you, we'll arrange a mutually convenient date and time to collect your damaged vehicle.
You will be paid by bank transfer, with the payment cleared before we take your damaged vehicle away. Since 2013, with the introduction of the Scrap Metal Dealers Act, it has been illegal to sell scrap vehicles for cash.
