WHAT
IS AN END-OF-LIFE VEHICLE (ELV)
ELV’s can be divided into two categories:
1. NATURAL ELV’s:
This refers to a vehicle that has come to the end of its life due to natural
wear and tear (usually vehicles over ten years old). This type of ELV
will simply be de-polluted and then recycled for scrap metal.
2.
PREMATURE ELV’s:
This type of ELV
(End of Life Vehicle) refers to those vehicles that have come to the end
of their life for unnatural reasons such as accident, fire, flood or vandalism
damage. However, rather than be scrapped, the insurance companies will
categorise and approve for these vehicles to be either dismantled for
spare parts only or sold complete as damaged.
Got an old banger that needs moving? Instead of risking a fine from your local council turn that banger into cash!
Has your car just failed its MOT? Wondering what to do next? Why not get money for it instead!
The DVLA are HOT on the tail of any un-taxed vehicles, if your car is un-roadworthy instead of risking a fine why not give us a call!
How
does this affect me when i sell my scrap car ?
The license from the Environment Agency enables us to legally carry,
remove and dispose of scrap cars from their point of purchase back to
the scrap yard for recycling. Without this license we would not be permitted
to legally do so.
Please be wary of any company or individual who does have this license
or claims that it is unneccessary as they will not be operating within
the confines of the law.
