Is my old car worth selling?

Before you scrap an older car, here is what affects its value and what to tell us.

  • ULEZ non-compliant welcome
  • No MOT welcome
  • Free collection

What is my old car worth?

Free to ask, and you do not have to sell.

Lovely. Just the basics about the car and who we are talking to.

Make

Make and model

Reliable older cars such as the Toyota Corolla, Honda Jazz and VW Golf often have more value than owners expect.

MOT

MOT

Tell us when the MOT runs out, or what it failed on.

ULEZ

ULEZ and Clean Air Zones

Many older cars aren't ULEZ compliant. They still have buyers outside the zones, and we collect free.

Condition

Rust and wear

Photos help us see the condition. Rust and wear don't stop us buying.

Mileage

Miles and paperwork trail

A stamped book or receipts help, but aren't essential.

Paperwork

Logbook

Make sure the V5C is in your name, or that you have the paperwork to sell on someone else's behalf.

Your checklist

  • The V5C registration document
  • Photo ID: passport or driving licence
  • All keys you have
  • Any service book or receipts
  • If selling for someone else: the paperwork showing you can
  • If there is finance: the settlement figure from your lender

This page explains what affects the value of an older car. It isn't a price guide: every car is valued individually, free and without obligation.

Older car FAQs

Can you collect a car that won't start?
