Scrap my car in Aberdeen online

Scrap a car if it's not being used  

With an incredibly reliable and efficient bus service in Aberdeen, more and more locals are finding that they simply aren't using their cars as much as they used to. It doesn't help that the roads in the city are so congested! Being stuck in traffic is always frustrating, but even more so when you've paid for an expensive car, filled it up with expensive petrol, and then can't actually drive anywhere! The end result is a lot of vehicles being left at home, and kept for no real reason other than 'for emergencies.' The problem is that you still have to pay money on that old car, but even if you declare it as SORN, it's still going to depreciate in value every day that it's not used. It's that lack of use that we're seeing more than ever, with locals choosing to get cash for scrap cars in Aberdeen. Thanks to our free car collection service, even SORNed cars can be bought.

You want a hassle-free way of selling your car  

Selling a car is always stressful. If you're selling it to friends or family, then the expectation is that you will want less money for it, and if you're selling to strangers you have to deal with their haggling, their lack of time-keeping skills, and those ones that are so ignorant they don't even show up after you've waited in all day. It's all incredibly frustrating, and that's why we have become the practical and hassle-free popular option instead. That's because we don't just pay immediately by sending your cash for scrap cars in Aberdeen directly to your bank account, we also let you set the time and date of your free car collection.

You find public transport preferable

An impressive 27% of households in Aberdeen don't have access to a car. Partly, this is because it's so very practical to stick to using public transport in the city. It might not have a tram service or any kind of metro system, but the bus service more than makes up for it. Weekly and monthly tickets are cheap, and there are a wide variety of special tickets available for children, pensioners, and those with travel difficulties. However, it's not just the exceptional bus service that is causing more people than ever to sell their old cars to scrap dealers in Aberdeen. Parking fines in the city are widely considered to be a blight, with the council earning £475,000 between 2016 and 2019 alone, and issuing just under 16,000 parking tickets in the same period. While Cornhill Road is the worst for getting a ticket, it's harder than ever to park safely and cheaply in Aberdeen. That's why so many people are getting rid of their old cars and sticking to the bus.

The car has failed its MOT

Just under 40% of all cars that take their MOT in Aberdeen will fail. It's not quite as bad as Kirkcaldy, the MOT failure capital of the UK, but it's still an insanely high figure which means a lot of cars aren't passing their tests. There are many reasons for the high failure rate of cars in Scotland, with the hard weather being the usual culprit of choice, but the fact is that there are many reasons why cars are failing their MOTs in Aberdeen. The problem is that when your car fails its MOT, you end up having to not just pay for repairs, but also pay for additional tests. That can very quickly spiral into ongoing and unaffordable spending on a car you're increasingly frustrated with. Now that we have made it easier than ever to sell a car without MOT in Aberdeen, you don't even have to find a way to get it to us without breaking the law (you can't generally drive a car without a valid MOT legally). That's because we come straight to you and collect your vehicle for free!

You could use the money for other things

There's a lot of people in Aberdeen living with high levels of debt. As a city, Aberdeen's consumer credit score average sits at around £586, and when the Christman period hits the debt levels go up by as much as 53%. Even though 40 different Aberdeen locals have become millionaires through the National Lottery, the population is not rich, and that means finding ways to access money when a bill you weren't expecting comes through the letterbox. Rather than relying on payday loans (or more shady ways to access some quick cash), more Aberdeen drivers are realising that they can get immediate payments when they sell their old cars to the best scrap dealers in Aberdeen. With money being sent immediately into your bank account, it's never been easier to make some fast money when you need it most. Don't let money stress take over your life when you have a car that you can sell for the top prices in the city.

Your car’s no longer safe to drive      

When almost 40% of cars in Aberdeen are failing to pass their MOT, that means that there are a high number of older cars on the roads of the city that shouldn't be. Even those with a valid MOT might not pass their next test, and the end result is that there are far too many dangerous cars being driven on the roads of Aberdeen. Those unsafe vehicles don't just lead to more accidents but also lead to higher levels of pollution. When money is tight, it can be hard to justify paying for repairs on a car that still, technically, works. The problem is that even minor issues affect your car's ability to drive. If you're putting your life and the lives of others at risk every time you start your car, but you can't afford essential repairs, then it's good to know that you can sell even the most battered and unsafe car to our scrap dealers in Aberdeen, and with free car collection, you don't even have to put your life at risk getting it to us.

Your car is costing you a fortune to maintain

Multiple MOTs are one thing, but ongoing repair and maintenance costs are another one of the leading reasons why so many local motorists are selling their older cars to scrap metal dealers in Aberdeen. Some of these drivers have simply had enough of paying for the constant minor and major repair jobs. Therefore, they're using the cash that they get from our expert scrap car dealers in Aberdeen and putting the money towards a vehicle that doesn't need quite so much looking after. That's one of the reasons why electric vehicles have seen such a dramatic increase of 30% in registrations in the city since 2013, and the council continues providing more and more charging points. A newer, more reliable car means paying less out on minor issues and more chance of passing an MOT. So if you're spending more than you should be just on keeping your battered old car going for just a little bit longer, it might be time to get some money from it instead.

Your car is very fuel inefficient    

Two big factors combine to make fuel-inefficiency a big problem in Aberdeen. The first issue is the price of petrol. It might be the oil capital of Europe, but drivers in Aberdeen have to pay a higher price for petrol than the rest of the UK. Combined with the fact that as cars get older, they start to need more fuel, drivers in Aberdeen have to spend a little bit more every time that they fill up their tanks. The second issue is the fact that Aberdeen is the officially named Congestion Capital of Scotland. Drivers in the city spend up to 35 hours a year stuck in traffic, and that means the expensive petrol that local drivers filled up with is simply being wasted. It's never any fun wasting money, and fuel-inefficiency is one of the main reasons why local motorists are selling their old cars to scrap metal dealers in Aberdeen. That money is being used to get a better, more fuel-efficient car.

Your car is written off  

With one of the most dangerous roads in Scotland, the high rate of congestion in the city, and the high MOT failure rate across Aberdeen, car accidents are a regular occurrence. The A956 trunk road is infamous when it comes to dangerous roads in Scotland, and the Charleston Flyover doesn't help matters! Considering that the A956 is just an eight-mile stretch of road, even the briefest online search will show pages and pages of news reports about accidents. It used to be very difficult to get rid of an old car that has been involved in a car collision that would cost too much money to repair. Now, we have made it easier than you might think to make some money from damaged cars in Aberdeen, and you don't even have to pay for the collection and removal of that battered vehicle. You tell us when to collect it, and we come and do it for free!

You’re looking for a part-exchange  

While owning a car always means a constant dribble of cash being spent on it, the running costs of keeping a vehicle in Aberdeen are surprisingly low. While that's good news for buyers, it's not so great for sellers. Unfortunately, many local drivers who want to upgrade to a new car will use their older vehicle as a part-exchange. They head to car dealerships or private sellers, and they end up getting ripped off because they get significantly less than expected and a much lower price for their old car than it's worth. Going for a part-exchange is almost always a mistake, and that's why so many smart locals are realising that if they get cash for scrap cars in Aberdeen, they are not only getting the actual value of their old vehicle but can then walk into a dealership knowing exactly what their budget is. Having the money in their pockets means that they also get to haggle with a lot more authority!
