About Motorway

Motorway's model is built on dealer competition. Rather than a single buyer making you one offer, they list your car in a daily auction where multiple dealers bid. The highest offer is presented to you and you decide whether to accept. Once accepted, the winning dealer contacts you to arrange collection and inspection. Collection is typically within a few days. Motorway position this competitive structure as a way to achieve a higher price than part exchange or a single-buyer route.

Location and hours: National online platform. Collection arranged by the winning dealer at your home address.

How the Online platform route works

Enter your registration and mileage on motorway.co.uk. Add photos and condition details. Motorway lists your car in their next daily dealer sale. Offers arrive within 24 hours. You receive the highest offer and choose to accept or decline. If you accept, the winning dealer calls to confirm details, inspect at collection, and agree final payment. The offer is subject to physical inspection: if the condition matches your description, the offer is honoured.

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 Motorway look for

Motorway accepts all makes and models including non-runners. Their vehicle requirements state the car must have at least 2 weeks remaining on its MOT, and they cannot list insurance write-offs or unroadworthy vehicles without an MOT. The 7,500-dealer network means most vehicles attract multiple bids, but demand and competition vary by type, age, and condition.

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

Motorway suits when

Motorway is a strong option for sellers with a good-condition car who want to test the wider dealer market and are willing to wait 24 to 48 hours for offers to come in. The competitive model can outperform a single dealer offer. For non-runners, vehicles without a valid MOT, or sellers who need a guaranteed same-day collection and payment, the process does not suit these scenarios. A local doorstep buyer can often commit and collect on the same day.

How the daily dealer auction actually works

Motorway run their dealer auctions daily. When you list a car, it enters the next available sale window. Dealers on their platform browse listings and submit bids based on your description and photos. They bid blind against each other. The session closes, the highest bidder is confirmed, and Motorway notifies you of the top offer. You then have a window to accept or decline. If you accept, the winning dealer contacts you directly to arrange inspection and collection. The key variable is your photos and description: dealers bid based on what they see and read. Accurate, clear photos of all four corners, interior, boot, and dashboard significantly improve both the number and quality of bids.

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.
