Which Vehicles Get Scrapped the Most?

Wondering which vehicles get scrapped the most in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley? We recently made a post on our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram) listing the top 10 most stolen vehicles of 2021. Well, we are definitely list lovers over here at More Cash For Scrap, so he is another great list for you. Since scrapping cars is what we do, we thought it only fitting to dig deep and find out the data about car scrapping statistics, and which makes and models get recycled the most, and here’s what we found.

The Most Scrapped Car Brand in 2021

Ford Focus Family Hatchback is the #1 most scrapped vehicle of all of 2021. In fact, Ford made the top ten list of most scrapped cars for 2021 several times with the Ford Focus, the Ford Fiesta, and the Ford Mondeo.

Not only are older Ford model vehicles being scrapped more frequently than any other vehicle, they’ve been doing so for the past few years.  This is because the Ford Focus has been the most scrapped vehicle for 5 years running. If you’re thinking of buying a used Ford vehicle, make sure it’s not a Focus hatchback, Fiesta, or Mondeo and if it is, be sure to do your research on the vehicle’s history.

Here is the complete list of the top 10 most scrapped vehicles of 2021 globally (which is why there are car brands on here you may not even recognize).

1. Ford Focus
2. Vauxhall Astra
3. Vaushall Corsa
4. Ford Fiesta
5. Volkswagen Golf
6. Renault Clio
7. Vauxhall Zafira
8. Peugot 206
9. Volkswagen Polo
10. Ford Mondeo

For those of you in North America, you may only be in possession of one of the Ford vehicles or Volkswagens. But if you are an owner of any of these vehicles, especially older models, it may be time to scrap your car for cash like many of the above car owners did in 2021.

Scrap Your Car for Cash Today!

It doesn’t just have to be an older vehicle when you’re considering scrapping your car. We do scrap car removal for many people whose cars aren’t even that old, but have suffered catastrophic engine or transmission failure. Other types of newer vehicles we buy as scrap cars are cars that have been in a big accident and now have major body damage or a bent frame, or newer vehicles that have things like big electrical issues that no one could ever get to the bottom of. There are lots of reasons to scrap your car with a licensed and professional scrap car removal company like More Cash For Scrap. Give us a call today to see if your vehicle is considered a scrap car, and if it is, how much we’ll pay you for it.

BC Hydro SCRAP-It Program

If you decide to scrap your car, and are thinking of trading up into an electric vehicle, you should check out the BC Hydro Scrap-It Program. They offer a wide range of incentives and rebates for getting your older vehicle off the road when you move into an electric or hybrid vehicle. There are stipulations, however, so if you don’t meet some of their criteria, you can contact us and we’ll buy your scrap vehicle for MORE cash, like always.

Here are the details of the SCRAP-It program, before you head off to the dealership to buy the cheapest electric or hybrid vehicle you can. As mentioned before, there are specific criteria you need to meet to cash in on the rebate, and if you don’t, you can call us.

• The vehicle you are scrapping must have been insured for at least 6 months prior to scrapping it. So, if you’ve had a car sitting on your property for a few years without insurance, it doesn’t qualify for SCRAP-It, but it qualifies for us.
• If the vehicle is from 2002 or newer, and gets decent gas mileage, it also doesn’t qualify for the SCRAP-It program. Their main focus is to take bad vehicles off the roads, not average ones. This is why professional scrap car buyers like us can be extremely helpful at getting you cash for your older vehicle.
• Not all makes and models of electric and hybrid vehicles qualify for the program. Anything over $55,000 does not qualify, plus there are other specifics. Check out the list of participating dealerships on the BC Hydro website at Scrapping your car could earn you $6,000 towards an electric car (bchydro.com).
• There are a lot of rebates that have been issued to consumers in 2021 and 2022, but like anything that is government funded, funding could run out. They are projecting that this particular funding could run out by fall of 2022, so after scrapping your vehicle and heading to the dealership, you could find yourself not even able to take advantage of the rebate you had been hoping for.

If you’ve got a junk car or even just an older used vehicle that you’re wanting to sell, but it doesn’t fall into the criteria prerequisites of the SCRAP-It program, or you simply weren’t offered what you were hoping for it, call us and find out what we’d be willing to pay you for your vehicle. We offer same day pickup, we take care of all the paperwork, we provide instant quotes over the phone, and we always pay MORE cash than anyone else!

Most Common Problems with Smart Cars

Every vehicle has its share of perks and quirks. However, sometimes the quirks outweigh the perks and you end up with nothing more than headaches and mechanics bills. That’s when it’s time to consider cutting your losses and selling your scrap car for cash to a professional scrap car buyer like More Cash For Scrap. Below you’ll find a list of the most common issues to be on the look-out for with Smart car vehicles. If you notice any of the following problems with your Smart car, it may be time to talk with one of our friendly scrap car buyers.

• Engine Fires – Yep, that’s right, your engine can randomly catch fire with Smart car models. This doesn’t happen just on occasion either, as many consumers have reported either full on spontaneous engine fires, or various parts of the engine melting and smoldering unexpectedly. This may be part of why you don’t see as many Smart cars on the road anymore as many people caught wind of the engine fires and elected to either sell their Smart car, or park it indefinitely. If you’re one of the ones who parked it indefinitely, it may be a better idea to recycle it for cash by scrapping a car with More Cash For Scrap.
• Power Train Issues – Another very big issues amongst the Smart car brand of vehicles were power train problems. Consumers reported not being able to shift out of park and into either reverse or drive. This happened repeatedly for many consumers, and when they brought their car to the Mercedes-Benz dealership for repair, the dealerships were not able to duplicate the problem. This was a big reason why no official recall was issued, but many customers were forced to fix the issue themselves with private mechanics to try to save money. If you’re sitting on a Smart car that has power train issues, and you’d like to sell it for cash instead, contact us today.
• Transmission Failure – This one is a pretty major issue as repairs for a failed transmission are thousands of dollars. Many Smart car owners reported their vehicle slipping while shifting gears while driving. Others noticed horrible engine noise and couldn’t get the car up a hill. Mercedes-Benz never issued a recall on the vehicle’s transmission, and consumers suspected it was to save money. However, many people ended up scrapping their vehicle, or tried to get it fixed as cheaply as possible, only to face the same issues. If you are one of the unlucky owners of a Smart car with transmission problems, it may be a better idea to recycle your car for cash instead of trying to fix it.

Most Common Problems on Ford Vehicles

Ford is one of the most popular car brands in Canada, selling millions of vehicles per year. Unfortunately, their popularity doesn’t mean they aren’t susceptible to major issues. Just like every other vehicle manufactured, they have their fair share of issues.

Here are some of the most common problems with Ford vehicles as reported by Ford owners. If your car has been facing any of these following issues, you should consider recycling or selling your Ford Vehicle

1.Spark Plug Failure

Many owners of Ford vehicles with the 5.4 Triton engine that were produced before 2004, faced failed or other catastrophic spark plug related issues.

With these faulty spark plugs, consumers would not be able to start up their vehicles. For those that did start, they would face problems in their engines. Engine issues like misfires, hard starts, lack of acceleration, and reduced gas mileage. These problems can ultimately render your vehicle useless.

If you are experiencing issues with your spark plug on any Ford vehicle, we recommend that you sell it to us for MORE cash instead. We are Metro Vancouver’s #1 scrap car removal company since 2005.

2.Head Gasket Oil Leak

The Ford F-150 is one of Canada’s favourite and most purchased pick-up trucks. However, even with its popularity, it brings with it a commonly reported malfunction. Many consumers reported a head gasket oil leak from the passenger’s side of the vehicle.

Owners of the Ford F-150 reported oil leaking onto the starter, which could kill the starter altogether. Mechanics have investigated the issue and have pinned it down to poor construction of the head gaskets. Unfortunately, this issue requires an expensive repair job and if you didn’t purchase the warranty, or if your warranty is up, you will be facing a BIG bill.

If you don’t want to pay a ridiculous amount of money on fixing your vehicle, consider selling your scrap F-150 to us instead. We are the Lower Mainland’s top scrap truck buyer and always offer MORE cash for scrap trucks than any of our competitors.

3.Transmission Issues

This is a serious issue that plagued the 2006 Ford Explorers in particular. Nearly every owner reported having the same problem. The issue was noticed most when consumers would shift gears. While shifting, they would experience hard jolts or even shaking.

This would typically present itself around the 80,000 kms mark of the vehicle’s lifespan. Ultimately, ruining the owners driving experience unless fixed. To make matters worse, it is hefty price to fix this issue if you were out of warranty or had not purchased one to begin with.

If you own a 2006 Explorer and currently have this issue with your vehicle, More Cash for Scrap would be happy to purchase your vehicle for MORE cash than any other scrap car removal company in Vancouver.
