It's another high for scrap car prices! The average value of a scrap car has increased on previous months in 2021. The increase again means that every month in 2021 has seen prices above £200!
June Average Scrap Car Price £259
Compared to last month, prices increased in June by £12. Plus, scrap car prices were up by 74% compared to June 2020, that's an increase of £110 year on year!
As Covid restrictions look set to ease and with such a bumper first half of the year for scrap prices, it's unknown as to whether prices will continue to increase further into the summer months. We look forward to seeing how things unfold.
There are many factors that can influence the scrap value of your car, including the global demand for scrap metal, as well as the make, model, age, weight, condition, and location of your car.
