A lot of north Fife vehicles come off farms and smallholdings. Tractors aside, we take pickups, 4x4s and vans on the same weight and parts basis as cars, and the recovery unit handles soft ground and steading access. ## How we get there Cupar is reached in twenty minutes up the A92 and A91. Because north Fife falls inside our own backyard, we route single collections there rather than waiting to fill a truck, which is why booking-to-collection is usually a day. ## What we collect in Cupar North Fife work skews rural: farm runabouts, elderly 4x4s, pickups that have spent a decade on tracks, and second cars in villages where the nearest garage is miles away. Structural corrosion is the usual MOT killer. Typical collection situations: - Farm steadings and open yards - Village greens and narrow main streets - Long gravel driveways - Barn and shed storage where the car has not moved in years ## Cupar questions ### Can you collect from a farm outside Cupar? Yes, and we do it weekly across north Fife. The 4x4-capable recovery unit handles steadings, soft ground and rough tracks. Let us know the ground conditions and we will pick a dry-ish day rather than churning up your field. ### Do you cover the villages as well as Cupar itself? Yes - Ladybank, Springfield, Auchtermuchty, Freuchie, Ceres and Pitscottie are all on the same run at the same free collection basis. ### My car failed its MOT on corrosion. Is it still worth anything? Yes. Structural rot is the most common MOT failure in north Fife and it does not reduce a scrap offer. We value the shell by weight and the engine, gearbox, wheels and electricals as reusable parts. ### Can you take a pickup or old 4x4 rather than a car? Yes. Heavier vehicles usually pay more, not less, because there is more recoverable metal. Give us the make, model and rough condition and we will quote on that. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Cupar for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Cupar and the surrounding Fife area is free, and there is no admin charge deducted from your quote. The price we agree on the phone is the price you are paid. ### How quickly can you collect from Cupar? Cupar is about 14 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually next working day once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Cupar? Yes. We buy running and non-running vehicles, MOT failures, accident damage, insurance write-offs and long-term SORN cars. The vehicle does not need to start or move. ### When do I get paid? Same day, by bank transfer, on collection. We never pay cash - that has been illegal for scrap metal in Scotland since 2016, so any dealer offering cash for your car is not operating legally. ### What paperwork do I need in Cupar? Bring the V5C logbook and photo ID. We complete the DVLA notification and issue you a Certificate of Destruction from the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the vehicle is legally off your name. ### What if the car has no V5C logbook? We can still buy it. You need photo ID and proof of address matching the registered keeper, and we notify the DVLA on your behalf. Never sell to anyone in Cupar who says paperwork does not matter - if the vehicle is not properly notified it stays your legal responsibility. ### Can you collect if the car is off-road or has no keys? Yes. Our recovery units winch vehicles with flat tyres, seized brakes, dead batteries or no keys. Just tell us when you book so the right truck is sent to Cupar rather than a standard transporter. ### Does someone need to be there for the collection? Someone over 18 needs to be present to hand over the V5C and ID, but it does not have to be you. If you have already left Cupar, we can arrange it with a nominated person and still pay the registered keeper by transfer. ### Do you charge anything if I change my mind? No. There is no cancellation fee and no call-out charge. If your plans change before the truck leaves for Cupar, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Cupar? Yes. Once we notify the DVLA, any full remaining months of vehicle tax are refunded automatically to the registered keeper, and any direct debit is cancelled at the same time. ### Do you take vans and 4x4s in Cupar as well as cars? Yes. Cars, vans, pickups, 4x4s, light commercials, motorhomes, hybrids and electric vehicles are all collected on the same free basis across Cupar. ## About the publisher - Business: Scrap A Car Scotland (SCRAP A CAR SCOTLAND.COM LIMITED, company number SC535292) - Phone: 0330 123 0112 - Email: info@scrapacarscotland.com - Depot: Strathore Road, Thornton, Fife KY1 4DF - Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 18:00 - Area served: Scotland - Licensing: SEPA licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) - Collection: Free, anywhere in Scotland.
