Sell my car in Rotherham
If your car is in decent condition, we want to hear about it. We buy vehicles to sell on, so a tidy car with history is worth more to us than its scrap weight. You deal with us directly, so there is no advert to write, no viewings and no strangers on your drive. Read more on our Sell My Car page.
Scrap my car in Rotherham
If the car has reached the end of its life, we collect it for free, running or not, and pay you for it by bank transfer on collection. Scrap vehicles are disposed of in the correct way and following guidelines.
What we buy in Rotherham
- Running cars you want sold. Decent used cars, sold without the hassle of adverts and viewings.
- MOT failures. When the repair bill is more than the car is worth.
- Non-runners. Collected on a trailer from wherever the vehicle is parked.
- Damaged vehicles. Accident damage and insurance write-offs.
- Scrap cars. End-of-life vehicles that are no longer worth repairing.
- Vans and commercials. Single vans and business vehicles.
How it works
- Tell us about the vehicle. Send your registration and postcode using the form, or call us. Describe its condition honestly.
- We give you a price. We call or text you back with our offer, the same day during opening hours. There is no obligation to accept, and the price is held for seven days.
- We collect for free. We come to your home or workplace in Rotherham at a time that suits you, the same day if you need it.
- You get paid. Payment is by bank transfer when we collect, and we handle the DVLA side for you.
What your vehicle is worth
The price depends on the vehicle, so we do not publish a price list.
- A running car or van is priced on its make, model, age, mileage and condition.
- A scrap or non-running vehicle is priced mainly on its weight and on the parts that can be reused. Mileage and MOT status matter far less than most people expect.
- Leave the vehicle complete. A missing catalytic converter, engine or gearbox lowers the offer.
- Describe it accurately. The more accurate the details, the more accurate the price we give you.

Questions from Rotherham sellers
Do you buy cars that are not scrap?
Yes. We buy decent running cars and vans as well as damaged, non-running and end-of-life vehicles. See our Sell My Car page.
Do you charge for collection in Rotherham?
No. Collection is free across Rotherham, including for vehicles that do not run.
How quickly can you collect in Rotherham?
We can collect the same day. Get in touch as early as you can and we will confirm a time. If you would rather wait, we book a date that suits you.
How do I get paid?
By bank transfer when we collect. Paying cash for scrap vehicles is illegal in England and Wales, so we never offer it.
How long is my price valid?
Seven days. If you need longer, we confirm the price again at the market price nearer your collection date.
Can I book a collection for a future date?
Yes. Tell us the date you want, such as the day your new car arrives. We give you a rough price now, then confirm it and hold it for seven days before we collect.
Can I sell a car that has failed its MOT?
Yes. A failed or expired MOT does not stop the sale. It is taken into account in the price.
My car will not start. Can you still collect it?
Yes. We bring a trailer and collect it from wherever it is parked.
What happens to a scrap vehicle after collection?
Scrap vehicles are disposed of in the correct way and following guidelines.
