How we price your Rover 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 Rover 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
Rover scrap trends
Known for their British manufacturing and historic experience, which shone through in the marque’s many memorable estates, saloons and hatchbacks, Rover was a brand that conjured up images of Britishness and tradition. 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 scrapping thousands of Rover cars…
Most scrapped models: We mostly saw the 75 (37% of all scrapped models), Rover’s popular saloon which was immensely popular in its heyday. We see a lot of Rover 25 models too (20%), a hatchback model which shared many characteristics of the 75. The 45 (14%) is also seen prominently.
Most scrapped year: Our most scrapped years are 2004, 2003, 2002 and then 2001. This suggests that Rover does have better than average reliability, or that most Rover owners have taken better care of their vehicle, as most cars scrapped last year were originally registered in 2007.
Most scrapped locations: Popular areas where there’s a high concentration of Rover drivers are the West Midlands, Lancashire, Kent and Devon.
