2011 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 - collected in Hexham
A gentleman, Chris, got in touch to move on his dad's Vauxhall Corsa. It had sat for a few months with no MOT, the sort of car you keep hoping to fix and put back on the road. But with the exhaust blowing and a water leak on top, it had turned from a car worth saving into a burden. We bought it, sorted the paperwork and collected it the same day, a weight off the family's mind.

The car, and how it came to us
Chris rang us to sort out his dad's car. His dad was giving the Corsa up, and it had been sitting for a few months with no MOT, the way these cars often do, still there on the drive because you keep holding a candle for it, meaning to get it fixed one day so it can live a bit longer.
When a car turns from keeper to burden
Sadly this one had reached the point where that no longer added up. The exhaust was blowing and there was a water leak on top of the lapsed MOT, and between them the little Corsa had gone from a car worth saving to a burden that just needed shifting.
So we took it off their hands. We looked it over in person, agreed a fair price, sorted all the paperwork, and collected it the same day. For Chris it was simply a weight off his mind to have it gone, one less thing to worry about on his dad's behalf. He was kind enough to leave us a review on Google afterwards, which always means a lot.
Do you buy cars in Hexham with no MOT?
Yes, all the time. No MOT, a blowing exhaust, a knocking engine or a car that has simply sat too long, none of it stops us. Whether you are in Hexham, Corbridge, Prudhoe or anywhere across the Tyne Valley, a local buyer comes to you, gives an honest offer, handles the paperwork, and it is gone the same day.
Can you deal with it on behalf of a parent or relative?
Of course. We often deal with a son or daughter sorting a car out for a parent, as we did here with Chris. As long as it is right for the family to sell, we make the bit in the middle as easy as possible and take care of the DVLA side for you. You can get a firm offer here or call 01434 400 444.
