Avoid repairing solely to make a private sale
A major fault can make advertising difficult and leave you paying for storage or speculative repairs. A direct sale considers the vehicle in its current state and the cost of moving it safely.
Provide the registration, make, model, year and mileage, then explain the symptoms and any garage diagnosis. Tell us whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes, and whether recovery access is available.
What helps us assess a non-runner
- Registration, make, model, year and mileage
- When it last ran or moved under its own power
- Known diagnosis, fault codes or garage report
- Whether it rolls, steers and brakes
- MOT history, keys and V5C availability
- Exact location, surface and recovery access
What we consider
- Engine or gearbox failure
- Vehicles that will not start
- Failed or expired MOT
- Electrical and warning-light faults
- Accident or body damage
- Long-term stored motorhomes
- Damp plus mechanical issues
- Vehicles requiring specialist recovery
