What selling your van for cash means with us

When you sell directly to us, we keep the process short. You tell us about the van, we assess it and provide a price. If you accept our offer, we arrange collection.

  • You do not need to create or manage a private advert.
  • You do not have an auction process between you and us.
  • We do not deduct an admin fee at the end of the sale.

Which vans can we buy?

We buy vans in a wide range of conditions, so we want to know the van’s actual state rather than asking you to make it look perfect for an advert.

We can consider:

  • Used vans that still drive but need a quick sale.
  • Damaged vans with bodywork, engine or accident problems.
  • Failed MOT or untaxed vans that you do not want to keep moving.
  • Non-running vans that require recovery-truck collection.
  • Campervans, trucks and 4x4s where the vehicle falls outside a standard van category.

Tell us what is wrong when you contact us. Accurate information helps us value the van and plan collection correctly.

How does the sale run from quote to collection?

We aim to keep the sale straightforward by agreeing the important details before collection is arranged.

  1. Send us the registration, mileage, location, and condition by phone or our online form.
  2. Tell us about any damage and whether the van requires recovery.
  3. Agree on our quote and a convenient collection time.
  4. We collect the van, deal with the sale paperwork, and usually arrange payment on the same day.

When should you avoid driving the van and ask us for recovery?

If a van cannot be moved legally or safely, we plan collection around loading, access and the vehicle’s condition rather than asking you to drive it to us.

Recovery may be appropriate when:

  • The van will not start, select gear or hold charge.
  • It has no valid MOT and cannot legally be driven for an ordinary sale collection.
  • It is untaxed or uninsured and cannot legally be driven for an ordinary sale collection.
  • Accident damage affects the steering, braking, wheels or visibility.

Tell us about these problems at the quotation stage so we can plan the right collection method.

What affects the offer we make for your van?

Our offer depends on the individual van rather than a fixed published price table. We look at its make, model, age, mileage, overall condition, and current market demand.

We consider factors such as:

  • Age and mileage.
  • Van type and current market demand.
  • Whether the van starts, drives, and has an MOT.
  • Visible damage, missing components or mechanical faults.
  • Make, model and overall condition.

Giving us accurate information from the start helps us provide a more realistic quote.

Where do we collect vans around Sittingbourne, Kent and Medway?

We collect vans from Sittingbourne, Swale, Medway and wider Kent, so you do not necessarily need to move the vehicle from your driveway, yard or workplace yourself.

Around Sittingbourne, our collection routes can involve the A2, M2 Junction 5, A249 and Swale Way/B2005 corridor. We can also arrange suitable collections around areas including Iwade, Kemsley, Murston, Queenborough, Sheerness and commercial locations around Eurolink and Castle Road.

The postcode is one of the details we use when arranging collection. This helps us arrange the appropriate collection. These details can affect the recovery plan and the equipment we need to bring.

What should you have ready before we collect?

We can complete the sale more smoothly when ownership, vehicle and payment details are clear before collection.

Where available, have ready:

  • Your V5C logbook.
  • Documents that confirm the seller’s details where required.
  • All available vehicle keys.
  • Service history, MOT documents or receipts that help explain the van’s condition.
  • A finance settlement letter if money remains outstanding on the vehicle.

If you do not have something, let us know when you request your quote.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I sell my van and get paid?

Once you give us the registration, postcode and condition, we can assess the van and discuss collection with you. We arrange payment when the sale is completed at collection. The quickest way to start is to call us or complete our online form with your van details. If it is a non-runner, tell us that recovery is required. You do not need to make the van drivable before contacting us.

Do you buy damaged or non-running vans?

Yes. We buy vans in many conditions, including used, damaged, end-of-life, and non-running vehicles. Tell us the actual condition before we quote. We need to know the van’s condition and whether recovery is required. That information helps us value the van properly and make sure we plan the right type of collection rather than treating it as though it can simply be driven away.

Will the offer change when your driver arrives?

We base our offer on the information you provide. If the van broadly matches the condition, mileage, paperwork, and collection details you gave us, the handover should remain straightforward. We do not add an admin fee at the end of the sale. Tell us about the van’s condition accurately before we quote so we can make an appropriate offer.

Is collection free when I sell my van?

Yes. We provide free collection when we agree to purchase your van. We collect across Sittingbourne, Medway and wider Kent, and we can use suitable recovery equipment when a van cannot be driven away. Give us the postcode and tell us if recovery is required before we arrange the collection. Accurate information about the van’s condition and recovery requirements helps us arrange collection properly.

What documents do I need to sell my van?

Have your V5C logbook available if you have it, along with photo ID, keys and any service or MOT paperwork that helps us understand the vehicle. If finance is outstanding, tell us before collection and provide the relevant settlement information. We handle the sale paperwork with you during the handover, but we need the ownership details to be clear before payment and collection are completed. If a document is missing, tell us when requesting the quote.

Can I sell a van with outstanding finance?

Tell us about any outstanding finance before we agree the purchase. We need to understand the finance position before the sale can be completed. An up-to-date settlement figure from the finance provider is normally useful for establishing what remains outstanding. Do not leave this information until collection. If the registered keeper, finance information or authorised seller details do not match, we will need to clarify the situation before we can complete the handover.

Can a scrap or end-of-life van be paid for in cash?

When we talk about selling a van for “cash,” we mean receiving prompt payment for a direct vehicle sale. Scrap and end-of-life vehicles can be subject to different payment requirements. In England and Wales, cash-in-hand payment is not permitted when a vehicle is being purchased as scrap. Where those rules apply, we use an appropriate compliant payment method. Tell us about the van’s condition when you contact us so we can determine the correct paperwork, collection and payment process.
