Scrappage schemes for 2020

If you want to buy a new car and are looking to trade in an older vehicle against it, one of the current scrappage schemes could well save you money on your new purchase.

How does a scrappage scheme work?

Although there are various terms and conditions with each individual scrappage scheme, the premise is simple. You trade in your old car, get a discount on a new one and your old car is taken off the road. They can genuinely save you money if you've got an older vehicle and want to buy a new car.

Is there a Government scrappage scheme?

The current scrappage schemes are no longer backed by the Government, instead they're used by manufacturers as an incentive to get customers to buy their cars.

The Government's UK Scrappage Scheme was introduced in April 2009. Cars that were ten years or older qualified (as long as the registered keeper had owned the vehicle for at least 12 months) and the Government provided £2000 off the list price of a new car. Many manufacturers topped this up with schemes of their own.

The Scrappage Scheme was extended in September 2009 and ran until March 2010. Since then several manufacturers have run their own versions of 'scrappage' schemes.

Does my car qualify for a scrappage scheme?

Whether the car you want to trade in qualifies for a scrappage scheme depends on its age and how long you have owned it. These are the criteria.

Scrappage scheme
Must be registered before
Owned for minimum of
Citroen 1 January 2014 90 days
Dacia 1 April 2014 90 days
Hyundai 1 July 2012 90 days
Kia 1 July 2013 90 days
Mazda 31 December 2011 60 days
MG 30 June 2013 90 days
Renault 31 March 2014 90 days
Toyota 30 September 2012 6 months

How much can you save on a scrappage scheme?

The amount you can save depends on the particular manufacturer scheme and the model you are buying. One of the best savings is £5000 off a new Hyundai Santa Fe. The biggest schemes are Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and Renault, with savings on most models in their respective ranges. 

Which manufacturers have scrappage schemes?

There are  manufacturer-backed scrappage schemes currently running in 2020.
