yeah some do, not much though depends on scrappy however, think there is one near me that advertises like £50 + for MOT failures.

get on yell.com search for scrap yards in your area and give the a ring.

so lets say a corsa c 2004 reg is written off.. so owner makes an insurance claim and car is sent to scrappers. How much do the scrappers give the insuramce company for the car?

is it just 50 quid or something daft?

insurance companies wont just turn up at the local scrappy with a car to dump, they will have there own facilities at a guess or at least an agreement with 1 firm
