What your Ford Fiesta is actually worth at scrap
Fiesta is the UK's most-scrapped car simply because there are so many on the road. That high supply means individual values stay in the £100-£180 range for typical end-of-life cars — but it also means breakers move parts very quickly. Alternators, gearboxes, electronic modules, and door panels off a Fiesta will be sold within days, so quotes are reliable and competition between breakers stays healthy.
Catalytic converter alone: £80-£200 on petrol models. If yours has been stolen or removed, expect roughly £80-£200 off the typical range — we'll factor it in honestly when you send the reg, not surprise you on collection.
What breakers buy your Ford Fiesta for
We don't just sell your car as raw steel. We shop it to specialist breakers who pay premium for the parts that hold value on this model:

Recent Ford Fiesta we collected
"Picked up a 2008 Fiesta 1.4 TDCi from Pitsea last week — clutch had gone, head gasket starting to weep. Owner had bought it for her daughter; daughter had moved up to something newer. 89k miles, decent body. Paid £140 cash, collected same evening she WhatsApped."
— From Prime's recent collection log. Names and exact reg numbers omitted for privacy.
Most Fiestas we collect are 12-20 years old, often a first-car owner who's outgrown it or a parent passing the car down whose next service bill (clutch, head gasket, ABS module) costs more than the car's worth.
How it works
1. WhatsApp us with your reg
Send the registration number, the model, and a quick description of the condition (running, non-running, MOT failure, etc.). One photo is helpful but not essential.
2. We shop your Ford Fiesta around and quote you
We get prices from the licensed scrap yards and specialist breakers we work with — the people who pay top whack for Ford parts in particular — and come back to you with the best one. Usually within minutes. No obligation if you don't like the number.
3. We collect, pay you, and handle the paperwork
Once you accept, we arrange a collection time that suits you — same-day where possible. We pay you cash on collection, take the car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, and make sure your DVLA notification and Certificate of Destruction come through properly.
Any condition — we'll take it
We collect Ford Fiestas in any state, including:
Ford Fiesta scrap — frequently asked
My Ford Fiesta has the EcoBoost coolant intrusion fault. Still worth anything?
Yes — even if the engine is finished, the rest of the car retains scrap value. The 1.0 EcoBoost coolant intrusion issue is well-known to breakers (Ford ran a partial recall) and we still pay £100-£160 for these cars. The gearbox, bodyshell, interior, and other components all have demand.
Is a Fiesta ST worth more than a standard Fiesta as scrap?
Considerably more — typically £350-£700+ for an ST, especially the Mk7 1.6 EcoBoost ST180 and Mk8 ST200. The engine, body kit, Recaro seats, and Brembo brakes all carry premium parts demand. WhatsApp us with the reg for a specialist quote rather than a standard scrap number.
How quickly can you collect a Fiesta in Essex?
Usually same-day if you WhatsApp us by mid-morning, especially within SS3, SS2, SS1, and surrounding Southend postcodes. Fiestas are easy to recover — we won't even need to drag your road out with a low-loader.
Do I need to be there when you collect the car?
Yes — we'll need to see your ID, the V5C if you have it, and have you sign the disposal paperwork. The whole collection takes about 10-15 minutes.
What if I've lost the V5C (logbook)?
Not a problem. We can still collect — we'll help you handle the DVLA notification. It just takes a little longer to process.
Will I get a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes. We deliver every car to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) and the CoD comes through to you within 7-14 days. This is what legally clears you of any future liability for the car.
