Coming in late but running hot, Citroen and Peugeot have now launched a scrappage scheme that includes vans, too –and they’re offering some very large discounts.
The minimum saving is £3,000 – off the Nemo and Bipper – while the maximum saving is £7,000, available to heavier Relay and Boxer customers.
Details of the Peugeot and Citroen van scrappage scheme
Like the Toyota scheme, the Peugeot-Citroen scrappage arrangement replaces other retails offers, so can’t be combined with any other deals. But then Toyota’s scrappage discount is limited to £2,000, while as we’ve already established, Citroen and Peugeot are offering much more money for your old beater than that.
As with other scrappage schemes, you will need a vehicle to trade-in to take advantage. That vehicle – which can be a car or a van, petrol or diesel – must have been registered to you for 90 days.
However, the cut-off date for the trade-in vehicles is a year later than every other scheme we’ve seen so far – meaning its first registration date can be up to 31 December 2010, rather than 2009 as with every other scheme.
The trade-in vehicle will be recycled.
How much money can I save with the Citroen and Peugeot van scrappage scheme?
Here’s the full list of discounts available:
- Citroen Nemo / Peugeot Bipper : £3,000
- Citroen Berlingo / Peugeot Partner (excluding electric versions) : £5,000
- Citroen Dispatch / Peugeot Expert : £5,500
- Citroen Relay 30 / Peugeot Boxer 330 : £6,000
- Citroen Relay 33/35/40 / Peugeot Boxer 333/335/435/440 : £7,000
Note that those values are excluding VAT.
Is it a good deal?
If you got a gnarly old heap to trade-in, possibly.
But as with most of these schemes, scrappage is just another name for regular discounts that would typically be offered at this time of year – so if you haven’t got a vehicle to trade-in it’s still worth shopping around to see what sorts of other deals are available to you.
