How we price your DS model
When you get a quote with us we’ll use your registration plate to find all of the relevant details; model, year manufactured, weight, MOT status, estimated mileage. This gives us a good idea of whether your car needs to be scrapped or could be salvaged. If your DS is deemed necessary to be scrapped then we’ll check prices from the best scrap yards in your area. They’ll bid for your car based on its weight rather than condition, mileage or existing faults.
In a lot of cases we are able to salvage your car which gives you a bigger cash payment than simply scrapping it. Salvaging means finding a buyer from your car from across the UK who will either attempt to fix it or strip it for parts. Whereas scrap prices are based on your vehicle’s weight, salvage prices are based on overall condition, mileage, any existing damage and ease of repair. We accept:
- Crash damaged cars
- Insurance write offs
- SORN vehicles, missing DVLA paperwork and those without an MOT
DS scrap trends
A relatively new and premium brand, DS cars aren’t that common through our systems. However things can, and do, go wrong and Scrap Car Comparison is here when it does. Here’s some interesting themes we’ve seen from the DS models that we have scrapped…
Most scrapped models: Almost all DS cars that we scrapped were the DS3, the flagship model for the brand which kickstarted the entire premium Citroen range as the Citroen DS3 in 2010. We also saw a handful of DS4s, a luxury compact car and the DS7, a luxury crossover SUV.
Most scrapped year: Our most scrapped years are 2016, 2015 and 2017. At first glance this suggests that DS has much lower than average reliability as most cars scrapped last year were originally registered in 2007, but DS as a standalone brand did not exist until 2014, so these dates are to be expected.
Most scrapped locations: Popular areas where there’s a high concentration of DS drivers are Tyne and Wear, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
