There was a scheme that paid £1000 against a BRAND NEW car from certain participating dealers. The old car was then scrapped. However the scheme failed miserably, as very few people who were running the old cars were in a position to buy a brand new one, myself included. There was also the fact that the dealers and manufactures upped the prices of the relevant vehicles, making the actual incentive considerably less than the £1000.
I think the reason we have fewer old cars on our roads is down to our stringent MOT annual testing combined with our winter weather and the use of salt on the roads. Because we get frosty nights and rainy days they have to grit every evening before a forecast frosty night. The UK spreads 2,000,000 tonnes of salt on our roads, every winter.
