Sell your MOT failure in Priors Hall Park without the hassle of repairs
A failed MOT doesn't have to mean a big repair bill. If you'd rather sell your MOT failure in Priors Hall Park, we buy it in its current state. Enter the reg and postcode on our instant price form and you will have a price on screen straight away. Accept it and we call to book a free collection.
When an MOT fail means it's time to let go
Many households in Priors Hall Park have a newer main car and an older second car. The second car often gets the least attention, until the MOT comes round. Then it fails on something serious and the question is whether to spend money on it at all.
It usually isn't worth repairing if:
- The repair quote is more than the car is worth.
- It has failed on rust in structural areas such as sills or subframes.
- The gearbox, clutch or head gasket is on its way out.
- The same advisories have been carried for years and have now become fails.
Our scrap or repair guide can help you make the call.
The MOT has run out. Can I still sell it?
Yes. We buy cars with an expired MOT and cars with no tax. You don't need to put it through another test. Just make sure the car is kept off the road and, if it isn't taxed, that it has a SORN until we collect. Once it has been scrapped at an Authorised Treatment Facility, no SORN is needed, as the DVLA is told the car has gone.
Can I drive it to you?
There is no need. A car without a valid MOT generally shouldn't be driven except to a booked test or a repair, and a car with a dangerous fault shouldn't be driven at all. We collect for free from your drive, a parking court, the roadside or a garage forecourt. If the car failed at a garage and is still there, just let them know we are coming.
How is the price worked out?
For most MOT failures, the value comes from weight and the scrap metal price, with some makes and models worth a bit more. We also take into account whether the car is complete, whether you have keys and the V5C, and where we are collecting from. Our MOT failure cost guide explains each point.
| Question | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| What did it fail on? | Helps us understand the car's condition |
| Is it complete? | Engine, gearbox, catalytic converter and wheels add value |
| Do you have the keys? | Makes loading easier |
| Do you have the V5C? | Hand it over, keep the yellow slip |
The online price stands as long as the car is complete and as described.
On collection day
We check your photo ID and proof of address, which the law requires of every scrap collector. We load the car and pay you instantly by bank transfer. We never pay cash for cars, because the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 makes it illegal.
To get ready:
- Take out all your belongings, including under the spare wheel.
- Remove a dashcam, sat nav or parking permit.
- Transfer any private number plate first, or it will be lost.
What happens after
The car goes to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility, which issues a Certificate of Destruction and notifies the DVLA. Any full months of tax are refunded automatically. Cancel the insurance yourself. If you have lost the V5C, our guide on scrapping a car without a logbook explains what you need instead.
New to the area?
If you have recently moved to Priors Hall Park, the V5C may still show your old address. That doesn't stop you selling the car, but bring proof of your current address and any paperwork that links you to the car. If in doubt, call us and ask before we come.
