About Trade Cars and Commercials

Trade Cars and Commercials deliberately avoid auction channels, sourcing stock instead from main dealers, specialist car groups and private individuals. This selective approach means every vehicle is hand-chosen. They offer a minimum 6-month warranty with upgrade options, online reservation, click and collect, home delivery, and various finance packages including prime, sub-prime and specialist. Their Princess Court site is approximately 10 minutes from Newcastle.

Location and hours: Princess Court, Prudhoe, NE42 6PL. In Prudhoe, approximately 12 miles east of Hexham on the A695. Open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm.

How the Independent dealer route works

Contact Trade Cars and Commercials with your registration, mileage and condition details. They accept part exchanges and may buy outright depending on the vehicle and their current stock requirements. As a higher-value specialist, they are most interested in vehicles that complement their existing stock range.

  • 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 Trade Cars and Commercials look for

Their 10,000 to 75,000 pound stock range tells you their buying criteria clearly. They want vehicles that sit in that bracket and meet their hand-selection standards. SUVs, prestige cars, and quality light commercials in good condition with documented service history are most likely to attract their interest.

We Buy Cars Hexham accepts

  • All makes and models
  • High mileage and older vehicles
  • Failed MOT and SORN
  • Non-runners and fault warning lights
  • Partial or no service history
  • Body damage and wear

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

Trade Cars and Commercials suits when

A strong option for higher-value cars in the Prudhoe area. Their Autotrader profile and hand-selection approach means they take condition and provenance seriously. For vehicles below their price range, non-runners, or sellers in Hexham for whom Prudhoe is 12 miles in the wrong direction, a local doorstep collection is more practical.

Why they avoid auctions and what that means for sellers

Trade Cars and Commercials explicitly state they avoid auction channels wherever possible. This matters for sellers because it means they are buying for their own forecourt rather than for resale through auction. A buyer sourcing for their own site tends to value condition and provenance more carefully than an auction buyer targeting volume. The implication is that a well-presented, documented car is more likely to get a fair assessment here than at a buyer who filters everything through a quick appraisal tool.

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.
