Ford introduces scrappage scheme

Ford has launched its ‘New For Old’ Scrappage Scheme where customers can save between £2,000 and £4,950 when trading in a car or between £3,650 and £7,000 off a commercial vehicle. Ford are promoting the fact that this will reduce CO₂ emissions and improve fuel economy. Ford also assures customers that they will manage the scrappage of old vehicles responsibly.

Vehicles must have been registered before 1 January 2010 and have been owned by the customer for over 90 days; this covers all pre Euro 5 engines. The scheme includes both petrol and diesel engines, unlike some other recent schemes, and also all makes and models. New vehicles need to be registered between 1 September and 31 December 2017.
