What is an ELV?
An ELV is basically any vehicle that has come to the end of its useful life. ELV’s can be divided into two categories:
Natural ELV’s
This refers to a vehicle that has come to the end of its life due to natural wear and tear (usually vehicles over ten years old). This type of ELV will simply be de-polluted and then recycled for scrap metal.
Premature ELV’s
This type of ELV refers to those vehicles that have come to the end of their life for unnatural reasons such as accident, fire, flood or vandalism damage. However, rather than be scrapped, the insurance companies will categorise and approve for these vehicles to be sold complete as damaged-repairable salvage, or for parts dismantling only.
