Sell Your MOT Failure FAQs

Can I scrap a car if it fails its MOT?

If your car has failed its MOT, scrapping it is often the most practical option, especially when repair costs are way more than the vehicle’s value. As specialist MOT failure car buyers, we’ll purchase your vehicle regardless of its condition.

Can you take away a car that fails its MOT?

Our professional team provides free collection for all MOT failures. We collect your vehicle from any location in Manchester and the surrounding areas, so you don’t need to worry about moving a car that doesn’t have a valid MOT certificate.

Can I drive my car that has failed its mot to your scrap yard?

You can’t drive your car when it fails its MOT, except for a pre-booked MOT test or a garage for repairs. Instead of risking a fine or points on your licence, let us collect your vehicle for free. 

What documents do I need to sell my car that's failed its MOT?

To sell your MOT failure car, you’ll need:

  1. Your V5C registration certificate (logbook)
  2. Valid photo ID (driving licence or passport)
  3. A note of your bank details for payment

Don’t worry if you’ve misplaced your V5C – we can still buy your car and help with the necessary DVLA paperwork.
