We Buy Cars That Most Other Buyers Don’t Want To.

Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of issues that can go wrong with a car. Here’s a portfolio of cars we frequently encounter on the daily:

We buy cars with mechanical problems.

We buy cars with all sorts of mechanical issues, including:

• Engine failures
• Gearbox problems
• Timing chain failures
• Wet belt failures
• Turbo failures
• Camshaft and crankshaft faults
• Clutch and drivetrain problems
• Fuel system faults
• Electrical faults
• DPF and EGR problems
• AdBlue faults
• Hybrid and EV faults

We buy cars with engine problems.

Engine problems are one of the most stressful things you can face, and our customers often find themselves in a situation where:

• The engine needs replacing
• The repair bill is too high
• The car is not worth repairing

In all cases, we’ll still buy your car. In fact, we have bought cars with:

• Blown engines
• Engine failure
• Low oil pressure problems
• Timing chain failures
• Wet belt problems
• Turbo failures

We buy cars with gearbox problems.

Gearbox problems are another very common problem with cars that we frequently purchase. Automatic gearboxes especially, often involve expensive diagnostics, specialist repairs and large bills.

We buy cars with:

• DSG gearbox problems (Direct-Shift Gearbox): faults with high-tech, fast-shifting automatic gearboxes commonly found in VW, Audi, SEAT, and Škoda cars.
• CVT gearbox issues (Continuously Variable Transmission): problems with smooth, single-speed automatic gearboxes that don’t shift using traditional gears, frequently used in Nissans and Toyotas.
• Ford Powershift faults (Dual-Clutch Transmission / DCT): known shuddering and shifting failures in Ford’s specific line of dual-clutch automatic gearboxes.
• Automatic gearbox failures: any major issue that stops a car from shifting gears on its own, leaving it slipping, stuck in gear, or unable to drive.
• Clutch and drivetrain problems: broken parts in the system that transfers power from the engine to the wheels (like a worn clutch, slipping gears, or damaged driveshafts).

We buy cars with electrical faults.

Electrical faults can be some of the most frustrating problems to diagnose because the issue is not always obvious.

A car can look perfectly fine on the outside but still have expensive electrical problems hiding underneath. Modern vehicles rely on dozens of sensors, control units and electronic systems, so when something goes wrong, repairs can quickly become complicated and expensive.

So we’re happy to buy cars with any electrical issues from you too. Including:

• Dashboard warning lights
• ECU and control unit faults
• Sensor failures
• Battery and charging problems
• Wiring and electrical faults
• Parking sensor and camera failures
• Electric vehicle system faults

We regularly buy cars even when the owners have been told:

• The fault is difficult to diagnose
• The repair requires specialist equipment
• The repair bill is too high

We buy cars with all types of damage.

Accidents happen. Sometimes the damage is cosmetic. But sometimes, it is serious enough that the insurance company writes the vehicle off.

Examples of vehicles we buy include:

• Accident damage
• Body damage
• Airbag deployment
• Flood damage
• Fire damage
• Structural damage

Modern vehicles contain valuable components, even when they cannot continue as normal road cars. So you can still get a lot of money back from selling your damaged car to us.

We buy written-off cars.

Being written off does not automatically mean a vehicle has no value. Insurance companies often write cars off when repairing them is not considered economical or practical. But that does not mean every part of the vehicle has lost its value.

In fact, a newer vehicle with valuable parts can still be worth considering, even after an insurance write-off.

We buy all types of written-off cars including those with the following categories:

• Category S vehicles
• Category N vehicles
• Category B vehicles

…and yes even Category C (we accept cars up to 10 years old, so there may still be some cars on the fringe in this category that we’ll automatically consider).

We buy non-running cars.

Non-runners are another speciality of ours. Most buyers don’t want the hassle of selling a non-runner, because most buyers get spooked just by the fact they are non-runners.

But we love buying them. And so, you can sell your non-runner car to us even if it:

• Will not start
• Has broken down
• Has failed mechanically
• Is stuck at your home
• Is stuck sitting in your garage
• Has no MOT

And because they are non-runners, we will come and collect them from locations all over the UK. Including:

• Your home
• The garage where it’s stuck
• A dealership
• A bodyshop
• Any recovery yard where it’s currently rotting in
