Sell Your Written-Off Car & Get An Offer That Beats Your Settlement Number Or Local Dealer.
Whether you’ve been handed a Category S or N settlement that’s lower than expected, or you’ve decided to keep the salvage and sell it yourself, you shouldn’t have to settle for ‘scrap’ prices. Most local dealers offer a flat rate based purely on weight.
We don’t do this.
We evaluate every vehicle individually, assessing your car’s condition fairly against current market data, and often this means we can beat your standard local scrap or dealer’s price.
You shouldn’t be left skint just because your car is a write-off. WE can end all that pain now and give you a FAIR price you’ll be happy with.
What is considered a written-off car?
A car is considered written off when it is no longer roadworthy, too expensive to repair, or deemed unsafe by your insurance company.
Here are some common write-off examples that we regularly buy from our happy customers:
✅ Vehicles damaged in accidents | ✅ Cars that cost more to repair than is worth |
✅ Cars with engine or transmission failure | ✅ Cars with structural frame damage |
✅ High-mileage cars | ✅ Cars that cost more to repair than they’re worth |
✅ Cars where the airbag has deployed | ✅ Flood or fire damage |
✅ Cars with missing or stolen, expensive parts | ✅ It’s been written off by your insurance company (so-called Category A, B, S & N cars — more on this in our FAQs section) |
Overall, though, your car’s condition really doesn’t matter to us. The price we quote is the price we pay. If it’s been written off and you want rid, then it’s a done deal to us.

FAQs — Sell Your Written Off Car.
Please note that if you cannot find the answer you are looking for, read more FAQs from our customers or contact the team.
Is the offer guaranteed?
Yes. We don’t reduce our price on collection. The only time a price would change is if the vehicle details provided were incorrect.
Do I have to accept the quote?
Not at all. Your offer is valid for 21 days, so you have time to decide what’s right for you.
How long does it take to get my quote?
We aim to send all quotes within 1 hour during working hours (9 am-5 pm). Some vehicles may take slightly longer, but we always aim to respond as quickly as possible.
Will the price change after I accept?
No, not if the details you provide are accurate. Your offer is based on the condition, mileage, photos and information you submit, so there are no inspection tricks designed to knock the price down later.
What are the insurance write-off categories, and what does this mean for me?
Here’s a handy table for you to consult. No matter what category your car belongs to, we calculate our offer based on the repair potential or the high value of the remaining parts
Category | What it means for you: |
Category A (Scrap) | The car is fit only for scrap; no parts can be salvaged or sold. Such a car cannot be legally sold to a private buyer. |
Category B (Break) | The chassis must be destroyed, but you can sell individual parts for profit, meaning you could get a very good offer on such a car. Such a car cannot be legally sold to a private buyer. |
Category S (Structural) | The car has structural damage but can be repaired and resold at a lower value. |
Category N (Non-Structural) | The damage is cosmetic or electrical; it’s often the easiest type to sell for a good price. |
Do I need to clean the car or tidy up any accident debris before you arrive?
Not at all. We’ll handle it exactly as it is.
What if my car is stuck at the garage and not at my house?
That’s fine and a common encounter we have. We can collect from a garage easily.
What paperwork do I need to sell my car?
When selling your car to Sell Your Problem Car, please have the following ready:
- Valid photo ID (passport or driving licence) & proof of address (dated within the last 9 months, such as a utility bill or council tax statement).
- V5C logbook
- Your bank details (for secure payment)
- Service history documents & keys (if available)
- Finance settlement details (if your vehicle has outstanding finance)
Once we take your car, you will receive a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days. This is your legal proof that the car has been recycled and that you are no longer responsible for it.
