Motow bike scrap service: How to check motorcycle scrap value

To check the scrap value of your motorcycle in Singapore, you can follow these steps:

Age: Older motorcycles generally have lower scrap values, but if they have valuable parts, they may still fetch a reasonable price.
Mechanical Condition: If your motorcycle is still running or has parts that are in good condition, it may have a higher value. On the other hand, if it’s severely damaged or non-functional, the value may be primarily based on its metal and recyclable components.
Parts: Certain parts, like the engine, gearbox, tires, or body panels, might still hold value, particularly if they can be reused or sold for resale.

Contact Motorcycle Scrap Dealers: Reach out to multiple scrap dealers who are licensed by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) or those that specialize in motorcycle scrapping.
Provide details like vehicle number and last 4 character of your IC and whether motorcycle is running or not. Dealers will use this information to assess the value.
Some dealers might also ask for photos or videos to evaluate the bike remotely.

Different scrap dealers may offer varying prices, so it's always a good idea to compare.
The value often includes:
- Metal Value: The scrap value is mainly based on the weight of the materials (steel, aluminum, etc.). The more metal your motorcycle has, the higher the value.
- Resale of Parts: If any parts are in working condition (e.g., engine, tires, battery, etc.), dealers may offer additional value for these parts.
- Recycling Fees: Some dealers might charge a small fee to process the scrap, especially if they need to handle complex disposal like removing fluids or hazardous materials.

LTA’s De-registration: In Singapore, scrapping a motorcycle also involves de-registering it with the LTA. The dealer you choose should take care of this, but make sure this is included in the quote. Once de-registered, the bike is no longer roadworthy and cannot be reused, which influences its value.
Current Scrap Metal Prices: Scrap metal prices fluctuate based on global demand, which will affect how much you can get for your bike.

Some websites or companies may offer online calculators for approximate scrap values based on the type, make, and condition of the motorcycle. While these tools won’t provide an exact figure, they can give you a ballpark estimate.

Here are a few companies that may provide motorcycle scrap valuations in Singapore:

Generally prices changes depending on the model, condition and demand of the current market. Best accurate pricing information is usually to be requested on the spot by disposal experts.
