Every car reaches a point where it becomes more trouble than it's worth. Whether it's failed its MOT, become unreliable, developed expensive mechanical faults or simply sat unused on your driveway for years, there comes a time when many vehicle owners ask the same question: how do I get rid of an old car?

The answer depends on several factors, including the age of the vehicle, its condition, its value and how quickly you want it gone. While some older vehicles can still be sold privately, others may be worth more as scrap or for parts.
