Current car maker scrappage schemes
Here’s a breakdown of manufacturer scrappage schemes in 2021.
Hyundai scrappage scheme
You could save between £850 and £5,000 off a new Hyundai when trading in your older petrol or diesel car. To qualify for Hyundai’s ‘Scrappage and Emission Reduction Scheme’, cars must have been registered before 1 July 2012 and conform to Euro 5 standards or lower. Euro 1 to 6 are European emission standards that define the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in the EU and the EEA (European Economic Area) member states. They go from 1 to 6 and the higher the number the newer and less polluting it is.
The most polluting cars – those with Euro 1-3 emissions – will be scrapped and completely removed from the roads. The Euro 4-5 ones can be traded in. The scheme ends on 31st March 2021, meaning that any new Hyundai car must be registered by that date.
