We Buy Any Car UK – Any Make, Age or Condition

Nationwide car buyers offering free valuations, secure payment and UK-wide collection.

Looking to sell your car in the UK? Nationwide Heavy Equipment Exchange (NHEX) buys cars from private owners, businesses and fleet operators across the country.

We consider everyday cars, prestige vehicles, high-mileage cars, damaged vehicles, non-runners and older cars that may be difficult to sell privately.

If you need to sell because the vehicle is damaged, has no MOT or still has outstanding finance, we also have dedicated information for those situations.

What Types of Cars Do We Buy?

We consider a broad range of cars based on their age, mileage, specification, condition and current market demand.

• Everyday cars – hatchbacks, saloons, estates and family cars
• Prestige and luxury cars
• Sports and performance cars
• High-mileage cars
• Older vehicles
• Ex-fleet and company cars
• Damaged cars
• Non-running cars
• Cars with mechanical faults
• Vehicles with short or expired MOT

If you are selling an older collectible vehicle rather than an ordinary used car, see our dedicated classic car buyers or classic vehicle buying service.

If you have discovered a long-stored or unusual older vehicle, you can also see our barn find vehicle buyers page.

Sell a Damaged or Non-Running Car

A car does not necessarily need to be repaired before you request a valuation. We can consider vehicles with accident damage, mechanical faults, engine problems, gearbox issues and other defects.

See our dedicated damaged car buying page if your vehicle has significant damage or faults.

---

Sell a Car With No MOT

Cars with an expired MOT or vehicles that have failed an MOT may still have value. The condition of the car, known faults and overall specification all help determine whether it can be considered.

Read more about selling a car without an MOT.

Sell a Car With Outstanding Finance

Outstanding finance needs to be dealt with correctly before ownership can be transferred. If your car still has finance attached to it, provide the relevant details when requesting a valuation.

See our guide to selling a car with outstanding finance for more information.

---

Sell a High-Mileage or Older Car

High mileage does not automatically mean a vehicle has no value. Age, service history, specification, mechanical condition and market demand are all important.

We can consider cars that have been used intensively for commuting, business use, company fleets or long-distance travel.

If you want a quicker sale rather than advertising privately, see our sell my car fast page.

Sell Company Cars & Fleet Vehicles

We also consider multiple cars and mixed commercial vehicle fleets from businesses replacing or disposing of vehicles.

This can include:

• Company cars
• Ex-fleet vehicles
• Lease-return vehicles
• High-mileage business vehicles
• Mixed car and van fleets
• Surplus commercial vehicles

For larger disposals, visit our company fleet vehicle buying service.

What Information Helps With a Car Valuation?

Providing accurate information helps us understand the vehicle and its condition.

Useful details include:

• Registration number
• Make and model
• Year of registration
• Mileage
• MOT status
• Service history where available
• Mechanical condition
• Any warning lights or known faults
• Accident or body damage
• Outstanding finance where applicable
• Clear photographs of the vehicle

Being clear about known faults at the start helps avoid delays and makes the valuation process more straightforward.

---

What Should I Have Ready Before Selling My Car?

Having a few basic details ready can make the valuation and collection process quicker.

• Vehicle registration number
• Current mileage
• V5C logbook where available
• MOT and service history
• Details of any outstanding finance
• Both keys where available
• Information about faults or warning lights
• Clear photographs of the vehicle

If documents or keys are missing, tell us at the valuation stage so we can confirm whether the vehicle can still be considered.

---

What Can Affect a Car Valuation?

Several factors can influence the value of a car, including:

• Overall mechanical condition
• Mileage
• MOT history
• Bodywork and interior condition
• Service history
• Number of keys
• Outstanding finance
• Accident history
• Current market demand for the model

Serious fire, flood or structural damage may affect whether a vehicle can be considered, so provide as much detail as possible when requesting a valuation.

Sell Your Car Anywhere in the UK

We consider cars located throughout England, Wales, Scotland and other UK locations where collection can be arranged.

You can view our UK car buying locations page for regional information.

---

Why Sell Your Car Directly?

Selling privately can involve creating adverts, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and dealing with buyers who may not proceed.

A direct sale offers an alternative for owners who want a simpler route.

---

How the Car Selling Process Works

1. Request a valuation using our online vehicle valuation form.
2. Send the vehicle details, including mileage, condition and photographs.
3. Receive an offer based on the vehicle and current demand.
4. Arrange payment and collection if you decide to proceed.

There is no obligation to accept an offer. If you decide not to proceed, you can simply keep your vehicle.
