Volvos last. That is exactly why the ones we collect tend to have 180,000 or 200,000 miles on them, with a repair bill that has finally crept past what the car is worth. A V70 estate that has carried the dog for fifteen years, an XC90 whose air suspension has given up, a V40 with a particulate filter that will not clear.
Because Volvos are heavy, well-built cars, they weigh in well at our yard. We collect from anywhere in Norfolk or Suffolk for free, sort the DVLA paperwork with you, and pay you on the day.
Call 01603 916893 with the registration, or send the form on this page, and we will quote you today.
Volvo models we collect
Scrap is priced by weight and the metal market on the day, so the heavier the car, the better for you. Typical kerb weights below are a guide; we quote on your actual vehicle.
| Model | Typical weight | What usually brings them to us |
|---|---|---|
| V40 and S40 (1995β2019) | around 1,300β1,450 kg | The small Volvos. Diesel particulate filters and clutches on the later V40, rust and age on the earlier cars. |
| V50 and C30 (2004β2012) | around 1,350β1,500 kg | Shared mechanicals with the Focus. Usually arrive with high mileage and a long MOT list. |
| V60 and S60 (2000β2018) | around 1,500β1,700 kg | Heavier saloons and estates with turbo, EGR and injector problems on the D5 diesels. |
| V70, XC70 and S80 (1997β2016) | around 1,600β1,850 kg | The big estates. Often sound in body but tired in every mechanical part at once. |
| XC60 (2008β2017) | around 1,750β1,950 kg | Family 4x4s with electronic and suspension faults that cost more than the car. |
| XC90 (2002β2014) | around 2,000β2,200 kg | One of the heaviest cars we collect. Air suspension, gearbox and transfer box bills end most of them. |
Why Volvos end up with us
- Volvo diesels of the 2000s and 2010s suffer blocked particulate filters, EGR valves and failed turbos once the mileage is high.
- The XC90's air suspension and automatic gearbox are costly to repair on a car worth little.
- Electrical modules on the P2 and P3 cars fail with age and are expensive to source.
- Many are simply very old: a 1990s or early-2000s Volvo with a corroded subframe is an MOT failure.

Scrap Volvo questions
Is a Volvo worth more as scrap than a smaller car?
Usually, yes. Scrap is priced by weight and an XC90 or V70 weighs a good deal more than a supermini. Call 01603 916893 with the registration for today's quote.
My Volvo doesn't run. Can you still collect it?
Yes. We collect non-runners every day with a recovery truck. A flat battery, a seized engine or a car on axle stands is no problem.
What do I need ready for collection?
The keys, and the V5C if you have it. If you don't, we can still complete the DVLA paperwork with you and give you a Waste Transfer Note.
Do you cover rural Norfolk and Suffolk?
Yes. We collect from every town and village across both counties, from the coast to the fens.
How do you pay?
PayPal, bank transfer or cheque, on the day we collect.
Failed its MOT? See MOT failure? Sell it to us. Electric or hybrid Volvo? See scrapping an electric car and scrapping a hybrid.
