My wife's old car (which was driven to the garage, with a leaking sump
and some other expensive stuff coming) is currently acting as an advert
for the garage's "scrappage scheme".

She's not pleased. Had that car for 17 years from new.

What was the scrappage value?

I was allowed £3,500 for a 10-year old car worth about £1,500 - for a
new purchase at list price about £24,000. Admittedly I had the money to
spend.
