Without being negative, depending upon what the MOT flags up, you might want to log onto some of the 'we buy your car for scrap/cash' and check what you'll get, sort of underwriting the situation.

My last V40 1.6 manual was sold for £185 scrap last year, if that helps re pricing.

I think these were the people I sold it to, but your location might throw up a better deal from someone else, www.scrap-mycar.com/scrap-car-form/
