Renault and Nissan announce scrappage schemes
Both Renault and Nissan have announced their separate car scrappage schemes in the UK, providing up to £2,000 towards a new Renault or Nissan on top of additional incentives.
Nissan’s switch scheme runs from 1 to 30 September 2017 and applies to owners of automobiles and vans with pre-Euro 5 engines. The company is providing up to £2,000 in scrappage support on top of the trade-in value and existing discounts on new vehicles.

Nissan says chauffeurs can earn up to £5,000 towards a new model like the X-Trail when trading in their old car. Those wanting to switch to an all-electric car are given £2,000 plus car trade-in value towards an approved-used Nissan leaf 24kWh.
Renault’s scrappage scheme also applies for Euro 4 cars or older that have been owned by the current owner for at least 90 days. The scheme runs until the end of September 2017, with orders having to be registered by January 2018.
Renault is providing a flat £2,000 scrappage fee on top of existing discounts. The scheme allows buyers to save up to £7,000 on new vans like the Master Van and £5,200 on automobiles like the Kadjar.
Unlike Nissan, Renault isn’t providing any scrappage incentives towards its all-electric ZOE, stating customers already benefit from a separate £5,000 allowance towards the purchase price. This is on top of the existing £4,500 government Plug-in automobile Grant.
