Sell My Non-Runner in Coventry

Your car does not need to be running for us to make an offer. We regularly buy non-runners across Coventry — cars that will not start, have immobiliser faults, seized engines, blown head gaskets or major mechanical failures.

WE STILL BUY THESE

Yes — we buy these cars

A non-running car sitting on your drive is not worthless. Depending on the model, age and overall condition, non-runners can still command a meaningful offer. We assess each one honestly and explain exactly what we can pay and why.

  • Engine will not start — immobiliser, starter motor, fuel pump or seized
  • Blown head gasket or overheating resulting in non-runner status
  • Clutch failure making the car undriveable
  • Gearbox failure — will not select gears or has no drive
  • Electrical failure preventing the car from starting
  • MOT failure combined with mechanical issues

THE PROCESS

How it works

1. Call us

Give us your registration, mileage, postcode and an honest description of the condition. We will give you an initial indication over the phone — no commitment required.

2. We come to you

We visit you at home, work or any agreed location in Coventry and surrounding areas. We carry out a proper inspection and confirm the final offer in person.

3. Get paid

If you are happy with the offer, we complete the paperwork including the V5C transfer and notify the DVLA. Payment is made by secure bank transfer on the day.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to get the car to you if it does not run?

No. We come to you. If the car is not driveable, we arrange collection. Please let us know when you call so we can plan the visit appropriately.

My car has not started for two years. Is it still worth something?

Possibly, yes. It depends on the model, mileage, body condition and what fault caused it to stop running. A popular model in otherwise good condition may still attract a worthwhile offer. Call us with the details.

Will a non-runner get me a fair price?

We are transparent about how non-runner status affects the valuation. A car that does not run requires additional cost to move and may need significant work. We factor this in honestly and explain the offer clearly.

How do you move the car if it cannot drive?

We have arrangements for moving non-runners. Please inform us of the situation — whether it is immobilised, has flat tyres, or simply will not start — so we can prepare accordingly.
