UK Motor Buyers is a Barnsley-based vehicle buyer. We buy cars and vans within 35 miles of Barnsley, from clean, running vehicles with an MOT to non-runners and scrap. You deal with us directly, so there is no auction, no advert to write and no strangers on your drive.
- Free collection from your home or workplace
- Same-day collection available
- Paid by bank transfer on collection, never cash
- We handle the DVLA side so you do not have to
We buy good cars, not just scrap
If your car is in decent condition, we want to hear about it. We buy vehicles to sell on as well as vehicles at the end of their life, so a tidy car with history is worth more to us than its scrap weight. Tell us about it and we will price it on what it is.
How selling your car to us works
- Tell us about the car. Enter your registration and postcode in the form on this page, or call 01226 491190.
- We give you a price. We call or text you back the same day during opening hours. There is no obligation to accept.
- We collect for free. We come to your home or workplace, the same day if you need it, or on a date that suits you.
- You get paid. We pay by bank transfer on collection and handle the DVLA side so you do not have to.
How we price your car
The main things are age, mileage, condition, MOT and service history.
- Tell us what adds value. A full service history, recent work, new tyres or a long MOT all help.
- Tell us what we should know. Damage, warning lights or faults are fine. An accurate description means an accurate price.
- Send photos if you can. A few photos by text or email help us give you a firmer price. You can email them to info@ukmotorbuyers.co.uk.
- Your price is held for seven days. If you need longer, we confirm it again at the market price nearer your collection date.
Not ready to sell yet?
If you plan to sell in a week, in a month, or on the day your new car is delivered, get in touch now. We give you a rough price and book a collection date that suits you. We then confirm the price nearer the time and hold it for seven days.
Why sell to us and not privately
- No adverts or viewings. You do not write a listing or wait in for buyers.
- No strangers on your drive. The people you speak to are the people who turn up, in our own vehicles.
- No waiting for payment. We pay by bank transfer on collection.
- No DVLA forms to chase. We handle the DVLA side.
Selling a car with finance, no MOT or no logbook
Can I sell a car with outstanding finance?
Yes. Get a settlement figure from your finance company. We pay them from the price and pay you the rest.
Can I sell a car with no MOT?
Yes. A failed or expired MOT does not stop the sale. It is taken into account in the price.
Can I sell a car without the V5C logbook?
Yes. Tell us when you get in touch and we will explain what we need.
What we buy
- Used cars and vans in good condition
- Older and high-mileage vehicles
- MOT failures and non-runners

What to have ready
- The V5C logbook, if you have it
- All the keys
- Service history and MOT paperwork, if available
