Sell My SORN Car in Coventry
A SORN declaration does not stop you from selling your car. We buy SORN cars across Coventry regularly — the car simply cannot be driven on a public road, but we can assess it at your property and arrange everything from there.
Yes — we buy these cars
Cars are often declared SORN because of an expired MOT, the cost of repairs, a change in circumstances or because they are simply not being used. Whatever the reason, we will come to you, assess the vehicle and make an honest offer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I legally sell a SORN car?
Yes. You can sell a SORN-declared car. The buyer takes on responsibility for the vehicle from the point of sale. We notify the DVLA of the change of keeper as part of the process.
My SORN car has not moved in two years. What should I know?
A car standing for two years may have flat or perished tyres, a flat battery, seized brakes and deteriorating seals. We factor all of this into the assessment. Please be honest about the state of the vehicle when you call.
Do I get a DVLA refund for the unused tax?
Yes. If there is remaining road tax on the vehicle, DVLA will automatically refund any full remaining months to the registered keeper after the sale is recorded. This happens automatically — you do not need to apply separately.
My car is SORN and not driveable. Can you still collect it?
Yes. We can arrange for non-running SORN vehicles to be collected. Let us know the full situation when you call — whether it is immobilised, on flat tyres or in a garage — so we can plan the visit properly.
