With the introduction of Low Emission Zones in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Scottish Government has introduced disposal grants for non-LEZ compliant vehicles. As well as the scrappage scheme offers there is a loan offer also available
Households can apply for a £2,000 grant to incentivise the scrapping of a non-LEZ compliant vehicle. This will include an additional offer of up to two £500 mobility grants or Travel Better vouchers for people to purchase a bike, e-bike or public transport voucher.
Low Emission Zone Support Fund for households
For micro-businesses, the fund provides an incentive of a £2,500 grant per car or van to remove a non-compliant vehicle, replace it with a compliant vehicle, or to invest in an alternative mode of transport such as an e-cargo bike.
Low Emission Zone Support Fund for businesses
The interest-free Used Electric Vehicle Loan, funded by Transport Scotland (an agency of the Scottish Government) and administered by Energy Saving Trust, offers eligible drivers in Scotland an interest-free loan of up to £30,000 to cover the cost of purchasing a used electric car or van, or up to £5,000 for the purchase of a used electric motorcycle or moped. The loan has a repayment term of up to five years.

You must not scrap your vehicle until you have received a grant offer letter from Energy Saving Trust confirming your eligibility, otherwise you will not be eligible for funding. Both schemes are administered by the Energy Saving Trust. To find out more about scheme, to see if you’re eligible and to apply for the grants, you should visit their website.

Quick valuation then good communication regarding collection- driver was well within the agreed window and was helpful and pleasant Hassle free and a very fair price paid thanks
Excellent service from start to finish The only one thing that I could say was a down fall was when I tryed to speak to someone over the phone. The waiting time in the cue was extremely long.
Great service, good price offered for car. Collected promptly and kept updated all the way. Money transferred within 72 hours and they notify DVLA for you.
Had quotes from C R Hales who then a couple weeks later reduced the quote by £100, but D Yarham fair price and did what they said when they said. Much better and would use again.
Gave me a good price to scrap my old car. Collected it without any problems. I was unsure of how to do the document transfer as lost my log book but they sorted it for me.
I was sad to see my little car being driven away. Your service made it easier. Helpful and courteous agent talked me through the process and the driver who collected my car was on time. Thank you for sending the agreed amount to my account.
