A scrap yard that built itself up from a field

From a field to this

In August 2014 the Environment Agency granted MLB Autospares its licence to treat end-of-life vehicles, and we started taking cars in at Kilnhurst Road. There is no romance in what the place looked like: a field, with no concrete, no buildings and no machinery to speak of. Cars were taken apart with what we had.

Everything on the yard now was paid for by the cars that came through it. Over the years since, millions of pounds have gone into the site itself — the concrete and drainage a treatment facility runs on, the buildings, the balers, the Powerhand excavators, the scrap handlers, and the recovery trucks that do the collecting. It is the same yard, the same people and the same company number; in October 2026 the company became Motorspot Ltd, and the name on the trucks and the website changed with it.

That history is why the site can say what it says. The count at the top of this page is not an estimate — it is every car in our own collection records since 2015, and it goes up as the yard works. It is also why the price we quote is the price that gets paid: the people who set it are the people who will depollute the car, strip it and bale it here.
