As we always make clear, as well as the global demand for scrap metals, the average value of a scrap car is influenced by factors such as reusable parts, the make, model, age, weight, condition, and even location of your car. All these factors change over time and as we head into 2025 we can’t be sure how figures will change.
2024 saw a tie for the most frequently scrapped car with CarTakeBack. Over the year we scrapped the same number of Holden Commodores as we did Toyota Camrys. The 2024 average scrap price for a Holden Commodore was $596, and the average for a Toyota Camry was a whopping $1,096. Both cars come in at above the general average for the year!
The average age of cars scrapped in 2024 is 18.8 years.
Petrol cars made up 87% of the vehicles scrapped in 2024 and 13% were diesel.
