Answers to our most common questions about selling trucks, vans, trailers and plant machinery to Nationwide Heavy Equipment Exchange (NHEX). If you can’t find what you need, call +44 7446 900842.
Process
How does selling to NHEX work?
Request a free valuation on our Sell Your Vehicle page or call us. We’ll give you a same-day offer, arrange nationwide collection (usually within 24–72 hours), and make an instant bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
Can I sell multiple vehicles or a whole fleet?
Yes — from single units to complete fleet disposals. We can evaluate from photographs, lists or spreadsheets and coordinate staged collections.
Payment
When do I get paid?
Before collection. We make a cleared Faster Payments transfer to your bank and, once confirmed, our driver completes handover.
Do you pay deposits?
For fleets or long-distance logistics we can agree a holding deposit, with the balance paid in full prior to collection.
Vehicles & Condition
What vehicles and machinery do you buy?
All commercial types: tippers, grabs, flatbeds, tractor units, curtain siders, tankers, box trucks, vans and plant machinery (excavators, telehandlers, loaders, etc.).
Do you buy non-runners, damaged or high-mileage vehicles?
Yes — including non-runners, MOT failures and damaged units. We’ll price accordingly and arrange appropriate transport.
Documents
What paperwork do I need to sell?
Typically: V5C/logbook (or proof of ownership), photo ID and proof of address (business letterhead for companies), service/inspection records if available, and any manuals/keys.
What if there’s outstanding finance?
We can settle outstanding finance directly with your lender (or deduct it from proceeds). Please provide an up-to-date settlement letter.
Collection
How soon can you collect?
Usually within 24–72 hours UK-wide. We’ll agree a slot that fits your site schedule.
Do I need to deliver the vehicle to you?
No — we arrange nationwide collection. If it’s a non-runner, we’ll send suitable recovery/low-loader equipment.
Valuation
How do you calculate the offer?
We assess make/model, year, mileage/hours, condition, specification (Euro class, PTO/HIAB, axle config), service history, market demand and export value. Photos accelerate accurate pricing.
Is the valuation free and no-obligation?
Yes — completely free. If you don’t accept, there’s no charge and no pressure.
Other
Do you buy from private individuals as well as companies?
Yes — we buy from private owners, sole traders, SMEs, PLCs, local authorities and plant hire firms.
Can you export or de-fleet vehicles for us?
Yes — we regularly purchase export-ready and de-fleet vehicles. We can coordinate multi-unit collections and documentation.
