How the Franchise dealer route works

Vertu offer a Sell My Car route via their website. You enter your registration to receive an indicative valuation. This figure is then confirmed by attending a branch appointment, where the car is inspected and the final offer agreed. The final price may differ from the online indication depending on condition and the physical inspection. Payment is made once both parties agree. For sellers who want to simply drop in, Vertu also accept walk-in assessments at the Hexham site during opening hours.

  • 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 Vertu Motors Hexham look for

As a Vauxhall franchise with a large used forecourt, Vertu are interested in a broad range of makes and models. They have a stated preference for cars with a valid MOT certificate at the time of handover. Condition, service history and mileage all factor into their assessment. Being a large group, they have internal routes to move stock across sites, which can sometimes mean they will consider vehicles that a smaller independent might not.

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

Vertu Motors Hexham suits when

Vertu suits sellers wanting the backing of a large, nationally recognised dealer group with a structured and documented process. It works best for cars in good condition where the online valuation is likely to hold at inspection. For cars with significant faults, failed MOTs, or for sellers who would prefer collection from home, a local independent doorstep buying service handles these scenarios directly without requiring attendance at the Alemouth Road site.

The difference between an indicative offer and a confirmed offer

Vertu's online valuation, like most national dealer group tools, produces an indicative figure based on the information you enter. The confirmed offer is only given after a physical inspection at the branch. The gap between these two figures depends on how accurately the car was described online. Scratches, warning lights, tyre wear, service history gaps, or trim level discrepancies can all reduce the final figure. This is not specific to Vertu and applies to most structured dealer buying routes. Being as accurate as possible in your initial description gives you the most reliable indication of what you will actually be offered at the branch.

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.
