Do you collect vans from Leeds?

Yes. We collect across Leeds and the surrounding The North area, using the M1, M62, M621 and the A61. Collection is free where the offer is accepted and the vehicle is accessible to a transporter.

Does my van need to start or drive in Leeds?

No. We collect on a transporter, so non-runners, MOT failures and SORN vehicles are all fine — including vehicles parked on-street or stored at a garage in Leeds.

How quickly can you collect in Leeds?

Most Leeds collections are arranged within two to three working days of an accepted offer, and often sooner where a transporter is already covering the The North route.

Do I get paid before the van leaves Leeds?

Payment is made by bank transfer and confirmed before the vehicle is loaded. We never pay cash — that is illegal for scrap vehicles in the UK.

Will you buy a van that has failed its MOT in Leeds?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons Leeds sellers contact us. Tell us the failure items and we price around them rather than dropping the offer on collection.

Selling in Leeds: the paperwork

We notify the DVLA of the change of keeper for every van we buy and send you written confirmation, so you are not left liable for a vehicle sitting somewhere in Leeds. Any full remaining months of road tax are refunded to you automatically once that notification goes through. If the V5C is missing, say so at enquiry stage and we will bring the right paperwork.
