The Working
How a Peugeot 308 scrap value is worked out.
Most sites give you a number and no reasoning. Here is the actual arithmetic, so you can sanity-check any offer you are given — ours or anyone else's.
Step 1 — Weight
1300kg
Published kerb weight for a Peugeot 308 runs from 1200kg to 1400kg depending on trim and engine. The mid-point is used here.
Step 2 — Metal floor
£130–£195
Complete vehicles are paid at roughly £100–£150 per tonne. That is the floor: what the car is worth if nothing on it is reusable.
Step 3 — Parts
£130–£225
Parts demand for the Peugeot 308 is steady rather than strong, so the figure stays closer to the metal floor.
Estimate Only
This is a guide figure, not a guaranteed offer. Your real value depends on the exact year and trim, condition, mileage, whether the car starts, which parts are still fitted, current trade and scrap metal prices, salvage demand on the day, and how far the vehicle is from the collecting partner. Scrap metal prices move week to week — the quote form gives you a live figure for your registration.
What Moves It
What changes a Peugeot 308 quote.
- Diesel catalytic converter and DPF add to the offer
- SW estate bodies add weight
- Shared PSA engines keep parts demand reasonable
- Panoramic roof glass sells when undamaged
Why They Get Scrapped
Why a Peugeot 308 usually reaches the end.
1.6 THP timing chain and turbo failures on the petrols, DPF and injector costs on the diesels. Both exceed the car's value at this age.
None of that reduces what we will pay. A Peugeot 308 that will not start, has failed its MOT, or has been written off is quoted on the same basis — weight, recoverable parts, and the current metal price.

FAQ
Peugeot 308 scrap questions.
The things people ask before booking a collection.
01How much is a Peugeot 308 worth for scrap?
Typically £130–£225. That starts from a kerb weight of around 1300kg at current scrap metal rates of £100–£150 per tonne, then allows for the parts still worth recovering. The figure for your car depends on its exact condition, what is still fitted, and the day's metal price, so submit the registration for a live quote.
02Will you collect a Peugeot 308 that does not start?
Yes. Non-runners, MOT failures, and accident-damaged cars are collected on the same free-collection basis. A Peugeot 308 that will not start is still worth quoting for — most of the value is in weight and recoverable parts, not whether it drives onto the truck.
03Does mileage change what a Peugeot 308 is worth as scrap?
Barely. Scrap valuations are driven by weight, what parts can be resold, and the current metal price. A car with 200,000 miles and one with 80,000 miles of the same model and condition usually quote within a few pounds of each other.
04What if the catalytic converter has been stolen from my Peugeot 308?
It reduces the offer, and on a lighter car it reduces it noticeably. Tell us before collection rather than on the day — an accurate quote up front avoids the figure changing when the driver arrives.
05Do I need the V5C to scrap a Peugeot?
It helps, and it makes the DVLA side simpler. Collection can often still go ahead without it if alternative ownership checks can be completed — say so when you request the quote so it can be arranged properly.
06How and when do I get paid?
By bank transfer at collection, in line with UK rules for scrap vehicle transactions. Cash payment for scrap vehicles is not legal in England, Wales, or Scotland.
