Do you only buy old cars for scrap?

No! We specialise in buying 2015+ vehicles with mechanical problems. Unlike scrap yards that pay by weight, we pay based on the actual VALUE of your vehicle - often significantly more than scrap prices.

Why is my 2016 non-runner worth more than scrap value?

Modern vehicles contain valuable electronics, sensors, and components that are in high demand. Your 2015+ car's parts are still in production and sought after for repairs - scrap yards don't consider this.

What's the difference between scrap yards and you?

Scrap yards pay by weight (typically £150-300). We pay by VALUE. A 2018 non-runner might get £300 at a scrap yard but £1,500-2,500 from us because we properly value modern parts and low mileage.

Do you buy cars with timing chain failure?

Yes! Timing chain failure is one of our specialities. Mini N14/N18, BMW N47, and Ford EcoBoost timing chain issues are common. We pay premium prices for these vehicles.

Do you buy hybrids with battery problems?

Absolutely. Hybrid batteries are expensive to replace but the vehicles are still valuable. We buy Toyota Prius, Lexus, Honda and other hybrids with battery or inverter issues.

How long is my quote valid for?

Our quotes are typically valid for 7 days. After that, market conditions may affect the price we can offer.

How much is my damaged car worth?

The value depends on the vehicle's make, model, age, and extent of damage. Enter your reg for an instant quote - we often pay more than you'd expect for damaged vehicles.

Do you buy cars that don't run?

Yes! We specialise in buying non-runners and vehicles in any condition. Whether your car won't start, has mechanical issues, or has been sitting for years, we're interested.

Do you buy accident damaged cars?

Absolutely. We purchase accident damaged vehicles regardless of the extent of damage - from minor bumps to write-offs including Cat C, Cat D, Cat S and Cat N vehicles.

Will damage affect my quote?

Damage may affect the price, but we still pay competitive rates for damaged vehicles. Be honest about the condition when getting your quote for an accurate offer.

Do you buy cars without MOT?

Yes, we purchase vehicles regardless of MOT status. Whether your MOT has expired or the car wouldn't pass, we're still interested.

What types of damage do you accept?

We accept all types - accident damage, flood damage, fire damage, vandalism, mechanical failures, engine problems, gearbox issues, and more. If it has wheels, we'll buy it.

Do you buy flood damaged cars?

Yes, we purchase flood damaged vehicles. Water damage can be difficult to repair, but we have the network to process these vehicles appropriately.

Will you buy my Cat C or Cat D write-off?

Yes, we buy insurance write-offs including Cat C (now Cat S) and Cat D (now Cat N) vehicles. These are often still valuable for parts or repair.

Can I sell a car that failed its MOT?

Definitely. Many cars that fail MOT are still valuable. We buy vehicles with MOT failures including those with advisories or serious faults.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about selling your damaged car or non-runner? We've got answers.

"Modern vehicles with mechanical failures are significantly undervalued by traditional scrap yards. A 2018 Ford Focus with a failed EcoBoost engine might fetch £250-300 at a scrapyard, but the timing chain components, turbo, and other parts are worth £1,500-2,500 to the right buyer. We've built a network that recognises this value."
