One car, one fault, one figure
17-plate XF, Ingenium timing chain issues, about £2,800
Priced as a car rather than by the tonne. That is an example, not a quote. Another XF with different mileage, spec or a second fault is a different number.

Sell my broken Jaguar in Surrey
You have a Jaguar in Surrey that will not start, will not shift properly, is sitting on its bump stops or has failed an MOT on something expensive. You have been quoted a repair bill you will not pay, or a scrap price that insults the car.
This is a buyer of broken Jaguars specifically. The fault is the reason to get in touch, not something to apologise for.
Priced on the car, not on what it weighs
Why a scrap figure and a specialist figure differ
A scrap buyer arrives at a number from weight and live metal rates. A broken XF and a broken family hatchback of the same mass end up close together. The leaper, the spec, the mileage and the fact that only one component has failed make no difference to a figure derived from tonnage.
A specialist figure starts from what the whole car is worth with that fault named. Specialist pricing beats scrap-weight pricing, sometimes substantially. That is the reason the numbers differ, not a better attitude.
What a broken Jaguar has actually been worth
£1,200 to £10,000
Money actually paid. Where a car sits in the range depends on:
- Model
- Mileage
- Spec and trim
- Service history
- Spare keys
- Which fault
The offer holds if we know about the faults
Describe it fully on the form
The quote is guaranteed only where the major issues are the ones described. Undisclosed faults can affect it. That is your protection as much as ours: a specialist can quote a real number because the fault has been named, and other quotes collapse on the driveway because nobody asked.
Tell us the fault, how the car behaves, whether it starts and moves, anything else known to be wrong, and whether it has keys and a V5C. The valuation is free, there is no obligation, and nothing is deducted.
The faults we buy
Named, not bucketed
These are separate value cases, not one undifferentiated state of scrap. Read our common faults guide.
- 01
Ingenium timing chain rattle
On the 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines. A noise on cold start that turns into a bill most owners will not spend on a car of that age, but the fault is a deduction from the figure, not a disqualification.
- 02
ZF six- and eight-speed automatics
Limp mode or harsh shifting. A car with a dead gearbox and a straight body is not the same proposition as one that has been hit hard, and the offer reflects which it is.
- 03
Air suspension collapse
Leaking struts or a failed compressor, where the car sits down on one corner overnight and the owner is told it is finished.
- 04
Electrical faults
Body control module problems, infotainment black screens and ECU faults. Which fault it is moves the offer.
- 05
Turbo failure
One expensive but self-contained failure leaves the rest of the car intact.
- 06
Head gasket and coolant loss
The engine may be written off in a garage quote. We price the car, not the repair estimate.
- 07
Has not moved in years
A condition rather than a fault, and bought as readily. Long-stood cars on SORN are normal here.
Cat S
Recorded structural damage
The category changes the figure rather than disqualifying the car. Tell us the category and what work has been done.
Cat N
Recorded non-structural damage
Same principle. Cat S, Cat N and salvage write-offs are bought, priced as recorded-damage cars rather than end-of-life stock.
Getting to Surrey
Not a Surrey yard. Our recovery.
This is not a Surrey yard and the page does not pretend otherwise. There is no depot claim and no invented list of towns served. What is true is that collection is free anywhere in mainland UK at no cost to you, on our own recovery rather than a network, and on a trailer when the car will not drive.
We have already collected in Redhill and Woking. A Surrey seller is not stuck with the local scrap price because the transport is ours and the distance costs you nothing.
Collection is usually within 24 to 48 hours of an accepted offer, often sooner. Same-day payment by secure bank transfer, cleared before the collection vehicle leaves.
What we do not claim
- No Surrey yard or office
- No local driver matched from a platform
- No figure worked out by weight alone
- No payment sent after the car has left
Collections made in Redhill and Woking, on our own trailer.
Why a broken Jaguar is hard to sell any other way
Are Jaguars hard to sell when they are broken?
Honestly, yes. A broken Jaguar listed privately draws tyre-kickers and people who want the car for parts money. A main dealer will not take it in part exchange with a fault of that size. A general we-buy-any-car service prices a premium car it does not understand, which is where the low number comes from.
The fault that makes the car unsellable everywhere else is the reason it is wanted here.
Which Jaguars
Every model, any condition
Spec, trim and options separate two cars of the same year with the same fault. That is why the model matters to the figure.
XE · XF · XJ · XK · F-Type · F-Pace · E-Pace · I-Pace · S-Type · X-Type · Classic and older cars
Offer, collection, payment
Direct, with no network in between
Offer from the form
Submit your reg, mileage, postcode and a description of the fault. The offer is priced on what the whole car is worth. Free, no obligation, no fees and no hidden charges.
Collection within 24 to 48 hours
Accept the offer and we arrange collection, usually within 24 to 48 hours and often sooner. Our own recovery turns up, on a trailer where the car will not drive.
Payment cleared before we leave
Same-day payment by secure bank transfer, cleared before the driver leaves with the car. Not cash on the spot, not a transfer sent afterwards.
Logbook, MOT, SORN and what DVLA is told
Change of keeper, not destruction
No V5C is needed, no MOT is needed, and the car does not have to be driveable. A car SORN in a garage for four years is still a normal sale. Where competitor pages promise paperwork, what they promise is a Certificate of Destruction. This purchase ends with DVLA change-of-keeper notification handled as part of the sale. DVLA paperwork explained.
Receipt
Proof of sale on collection day.
Sale confirmation
Written confirmation of the agreed figure.
DVLA acknowledgement
We file the change-of-keeper notification as part of every purchase.
A Certificate of Destruction is for a car being destroyed
Once a car is scrapped it cannot go back on the road. Find out what yours is worth as a car before you take a decision that cannot be undone.
