How the Franchise dealer route works

Fawdingtons have a "Sell Your Vehicle" and "Part Exchange" section on their website. The process is primarily part exchange when purchasing another vehicle from their forecourt, or a direct approach through their sell enquiry form. They offer live video viewings and click and collect for buyers. For sellers, a site visit to Haugh Lane is typically required to complete the assessment and agree a price. They are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm.

  • Confirm whether a site visit or appointment is required
  • Check the offer validity period and any conditions
  • Clarify payment method and timing before committing
  • Ask about any deductions or inspection adjustments

What Fawdington Hexham look for

Fawdingtons focus on nearly new and quality used stock. Given their 4x4 and commercial speciality, well-maintained SUVs, estates and vans are of particular interest. Their forecourt reflects a range of makes from Volvo to Ford. Condition and provenance matter: their Autotrader reviews show customers commenting that cars are properly service history verified and well valeted before sale.

We Buy Cars Hexham accepts

  • All makes and models
  • High mileage and older vehicles
  • Failed MOT and SORN
  • Non-runners and fault warning lights

When each option suits

A doorstep sale suits when

  • You want collection from home without travelling to a branch
  • The car has faults, failed MOT, is a non-runner or SORN
  • You need certainty of payment on the same day
  • You are in Hexham, the Tyne Valley or surrounding areas
  • You have already had a dealer valuation and want to compare
  • You want DVLA paperwork handled at point of collection

Fawdington Hexham suits when

Fawdingtons suit sellers who are looking to change vehicles and want to deal with a 100-year old local business they can trust. Part exchange through Fawdingtons is straightforward when you are also buying. If you are selling outright without a replacement purchase, or the car has faults, failed MOT, or is a non-runner, a doorstep buying route resolves the sale without a site visit to Haugh Lane.

A century of trading in Hexham

Fawdingtons reached 100 years in business in 2021, making them one of the oldest car dealers in Northumberland. That kind of longevity reflects a genuine local reputation. The team are known for a no-hassle approach: Autotrader reviews mention Adam, Paul and Ian by name, with buyers noting honest descriptions and properly documented service histories. For sellers, this reputation for straight dealing means you can expect a clear and honest assessment when you visit, even if the offer reflects the trade values of the day.

Common questions

Do you collect from my home address?
Yes. We collect from your address across Hexham, the Tyne Valley and surrounding areas. No branch visit or appointment away from home is needed.
Do you buy non-runners and failed MOT vehicles?
Yes. Failed MOTs, non-runners, SORN vehicles, warning lights and cosmetic damage are all assessed. We give you a clear price before committing.
How quickly do you pay?
Payment is by bank transfer confirmed at your address in most cases. Funds are verified before we leave.
Are there admin fees or deductions?
No admin deductions on straightforward purchases. If you use our Sale-or-Return route, all terms are agreed before we start.
What paperwork do I need?
V5C logbook and one photo ID. Service history helps with valuation but is not essential. We complete the DVLA steps at collection.
What is the difference between your valuation and a dealer part exchange?
A dealer part exchange values your car as a cost to offset against a new purchase. A direct cash offer values it as a standalone transaction. The two figures can differ significantly for the same car.
