We can now confirm that the most scrapped car in 2024 was the Ford Focus!
You may recall that the same model also topped our most scrapped car list in 2023. Now that 2024 has come and gone, new data has shown that the Ford Focus is still the king of the scrapyard.
The reason so many of them were scrapped this year is probably because there were so many on the roads to begin with! Supposedly, 2.71% of all UK vehicles are Ford Focuses – or should it be Ford Foci? Either way, the Ford Focus is destined to be discontinued later in 2025 after nearly 30 years in production, so it might not hold onto this top spot for much longer.
Even though the Focus was the most scrapped car of 2024, the most scrapped brand was actually Vauxhall. They took second and third place for most scrapped cars this year, resulting in an overall win for the brand. Or loss, depending on how you look at it.
