Who you are selling to
The yard itself, not a middleman
Most scrap car websites are comparison sites. They take your details, sell them to the yard that bids highest, and keep a slice of your price. Motorspot is the yard — 94,389 cars bought and recycled here since 2015.
Our own Authorised Treatment Facility
Licensed by the Environment Agency since 2014. Your car is depolluted and recycled at our yard in Mexborough, not sold on to somebody you have never heard of.
Our own lorries and drivers
The driver who turns up works for us. No middleman, no commission, and nobody between you and the people paying you.
The price you see is the price you get
We are the buyer, so we can promise it. A comparison site shows you a bid from a yard it has never seen; we show you ours.
The Certificate of Destruction comes from us
We issue it here and tell the DVLA ourselves, so your liability ends the day the car is checked in.

Prices depend on the model, the weight and the condition on the day. Yours takes 30 seconds to find out.
What we buy
If it has four wheels and a UK registration, we will make you an offer — running or not, with or without paperwork. Condition affects the price, never whether we will take it.

Ready when you are
Takes about 30 seconds and there is nothing to pay.
Newer or damaged?
Priced on what it is worth, not just what it weighs
We break cars for parts and sell the good ones on, so a car with value beyond its metal gets a price that reflects it. Tell us the condition honestly and the price updates as you go.
Newer than it looks on paper
A 2014 car is not a 2004 car, whatever it weighs. Age, model and parts demand all move the price.
Damaged or written off
Cat S, Cat N, accident or flood damage. Repairable cars and good parts are worth more than their steel.
Still runs, failed its MOT
An expensive repair bill is not the end of the car — and a runner with months of MOT left is priced as one.

Questions people ask
The short answers. The long ones, and a few more, are on the FAQs page.
How and when do I get paid?
By bank transfer to the registered keeper, sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: the same day for collections made before 3pm, and the next working day for later ones. We cannot pay cash — the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes cash payment for scrap vehicles illegal in England and Wales.
How quickly can you collect?
We collect across Sheffield, Glasgow, Doncaster, Edinburgh, Hull and Wakefield from our yard in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. When you book you tell us the day that suits you; we then ring to agree the day and a morning or afternoon slot and confirm it by email. Close to home we can often collect quickly; further out it depends on when our trucks are in your area.
Do I need the V5C logbook?
It makes life easier, but no. Without it there is extra paperwork and a small deduction, and the driver will need to see photo ID plus proof of where you live now — an old address on the DVLA record is not a problem.
Will you buy a car with no MOT or tax?
Yes. An expired MOT or a SORN makes no difference to whether we will buy it — most of the vehicles we collect have neither.
Is the price guaranteed?
Yes, provided the vehicle matches what you told us. If the driver arrives and finds something significantly different — the engine gone, the catalytic converter cut out, fire damage you did not mention — they will explain the revised figure before loading anything, and you are free to decline.
