In Singapore, we love our cars. The team at SG car scrap handle them, too—but not always by choice. Here are the top ten most scrapped car models in Singapore, according to data from 2022.
- Kia Sportage
- Mazda CX-5
- Toyota RAV4
- Mitsubishi Outlander
- Hyundai ix35
- Subaru Forester
- Audi Q3
- BMW X1
- Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
- Volvo XC60
The list includes a wide range of brands and models, from Japanese to German makes. The common trend? They’re all SUVs or crossovers, which isn’t surprising given Singapore’s love affair with these types of vehicles. It’s also worth noting that many of the models on the list are relatively new; the youngest is just six years old.
Interestingly, the data shows that scrap values for these cars have actually gone up in recent years. In 2022, the average scrap value for a car was $4,035, up from $3,735 in 2017 and $3,010 in 2015. So if you’re thinking of scrapping your car, now might be a good time to do it!
At the same time, it’s important to remember that scrap values can vary depending on several factors, including make and model, age, and condition. (For example, a newer car with high mileage is likely to have a lower scrap value than an older car that’s been well-maintained.) If you’re thinking of scrapping your car, it’s always a good idea to check with a few different dealerships or automotive businesses first to get an accurate estimate of its value.
While it’s always sad to see a beloved car go, sometimes scrapping it is the best option—especially if it’s one of the most scrapped models in Singapore! If you’re thinking of getting rid of your car, now might be a good time to do it; scrap values have been on the rise in recent years. However, be sure to check with multiple dealerships or automotive businesses before you do anything so that you can get an accurate estimate of your car’s value.
