Old cars represent a threat to the environment. It is best for them to be scrapped and replaced by newer, more efficient vehicles. That is why the government have decided to run the car scrappage scheme. When you scrap an eligible car and buy a new one you could get £2,000 off the OTR price. Whist the idea appears great at first, we at Scrap Car Luton have spotted some pitfalls in the government's scheme. For a start, you can only buy certain cars through the scheme when you scrap your old car. Strict criteria must also be met by the old scrap car in order to be eligible. The government's requirements are listed below.
As you can see, the requirements for scrapping a car under the car scrappage scheme are rather harsh. Sadly, this has lead to a lot of disappointment in Luton from people who were hoping to profit from scrapping their car.
