Frequently Asked Questions
Before scrapping your van, learn more about the process.
What is Vanalive?
Vanalive is a UK-based price comparison and bidding platform specialising in scrap and salvage vans. We connect van owners with licensed Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) and approved salvage buyers to achieve competitive market prices.
What types of van can I scrap?
Most types of vans are accepted for scrap & salvage, including:
- Panel vans
- Luton and box vans
- Tippers and dropsides
- Crew and minibus conversions
- MOT failures
- Accident-damaged and salvage vans
- Insurance write-offs (Cat S & Cat N)
- Non-running or end-of-life vans
If your van has a registration number, we can usually generate bids.
Who can sell a van through Vanalive?
Anyone who legally owns the van, including:
- Private van owners
- Sole traders
- Businesses and fleets
- Leasing and hire companies
You must be able to confirm ownership and provide valid ID.
Who buys vans on Vanalive?
Your van is purchased by licensed ATFs or approved salvage buyers operating legally within the UK. Buyers bid based on condition, damage, location and current market demand.
How does the pricing work?
Your van is listed in an instant bidding process where multiple buyers compete. This helps ensure you receive a fair market price rather than a single fixed offer.
How and when do I get paid?
Payment is made by bank transfer directly from the buyer.
Most payments are made on collection or the same working day, depending on the buyer.
Do you accept salvage and insurance write-offs?
Yes. We accept salvage vans including Cat S and Cat N write-offs. Buyers will bid based on repair potential, parts value or scrap weight.
Can I sell a non-running or MOT-failed van?
Yes. Vans that don’t start, have failed an MOT or have major mechanical issues are accepted.
Is collection available?
Yes. Nationwide van collection is available and is often included in the buyer’s offer.
Can I deliver the van myself?
In some cases, yes. Delivering the van to the buyer’s site may increase the price offered.
Do I need the V5C logbook?
Ideally yes, but some buyers will still accept vans without a V5C. You must be the legal owner.
Do I need the keys?
Keys are preferred but not always essential. Missing keys must be declared when listing the van.
Can I remove parts from the van?
Ideally not, as any removed parts (such as wheels, engines or DPFs) must be declared, as this affects valuation.
What documents are required?
Typically:
- V5C logbook (if available)
- Photo ID
- Bank details
Your buyer will confirm exact requirements.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
If your van is scrapped by an ATF, a DVLA Certificate of Destruction (CoD) will be issued where applicable.
Is Vanalive available nationwide?
Yes. Vanalive operates across England, Scotland and Wales.
