Land Rover Scrappage Scheme

What is the Land Rover scrappage scheme?

Land Rover has never had a standalone scrappage scheme like other car manufacturers, although it did support the government-backed scheme in 2009.

Is the Land Rover scrappage scheme coming back?

As there was no scrappage scheme provided by Land Rover previously, it remains unlikely that there will be a new one in future.

How did the scrappage scheme work?

The 2009 Scrappage Scheme was set up by the Government to help the motoring industry recover following the economic crisis of 2008. Anyone who owned a car built before 31st July 1999, later extended to 29th February 2000, could receive a £2,000 discount on buying a new car, with £1,000 coming from the government and a further £1,000 coming from the manufacturer you were buying the car from.

Petrol Cars:

There was no restriction on the fuel type that could be traded, as the scheme was solely based on the age of cars being scrapped.

Diesel Cars:

There was no restriction on the fuel type that could be traded, as the scheme was solely based on the age of cars being scrapped.

Electric Cars:

At the time of the 2009 scrappage scheme, electric cars were very much in their infancy. As a result, there were very few on the market, and even then they were only hybrids, and none would have been old enough to qualify to be scrapped.

Do I qualify for a Scrappage Scheme Offer?

Just because Land Rover has never run their own scrappage scheme, it doesn’t mean that you can’t renew your old car through using a similar incentive. There are three that are currently based on location, due to upcoming or expanding Clean Air Schemes.

• London – available to London residents with a vehicle that is not ULEZ compliant
• Birmingham – available to those who work 18 hours a week or more within the Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone, who earn £30,000 a year or less and have owned a non-compliant vehicle since 10 September 2018
• Scotland – Available to owners of non-compliant vehicles who live within a 20km radius of a Scottish Low Emission Zone.
