Why old diesels are worth scrapping now
Three things have hit pre-Euro 6 diesel values in recent years:
- Clean-air zones in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Bath (Southampton shelved its CAZ but buyer sentiment moved anyway)
- Rising insurance and repair costs on DPF and AdBlue systems
- Company fleets flipping to hybrid/EV, flooding the used market
The upside: catalytic converters and DPFs on diesels are heavier and richer in precious metals, so scrap value holds up strongly.
Common diesel-scrap scenarios
DPF light on and quotes over £1,000 to fix. AdBlue system failure locking the car to limp mode. EGR valve stuck open. Turbo failure on a 15-year-old car. Cambelt due on a car worth less than the belt. All of these tip the balance toward scrap.
