Sell a Broken Car or a Car With Mechanical Faults in Hexham and the Tyne Valley
A mechanical fault that would cost more to fix than the car is worth puts a lot of people in an awkward spot. The garage quote lands, and a car you were happy with becomes a liability. That is exactly the point to call us. We buy broken cars and cars with mechanical faults: clutch and gearbox problems, engine faults, electrical faults and warning lights, and broken-down cars sitting where they last gave up. You do not fix it, we do not ask you to, and we collect it from wherever it is.
Faults we buy without blinking
- Slipping or failed clutch, crunching or failed gearbox
- Engine faults: misfire, rattle, smoke, overheating, oil pressure
- Electrical faults: dead lights, indicators, modules or sensors
- Warning lights: engine management, ABS, airbag, glow plug, AdBlue
- Broken-down cars sitting where they stopped
When the repair costs more than the car is worth
This is the classic situation. A clutch, a gearbox, a turbo or a timing chain lets go, the quote to fix it is more than the car would be worth afterwards, and putting good money in feels wrong. It usually is wrong. Selling the broken car as it is and putting that repair money toward your next one is almost always the better call. We give you a firm figure for the car with the fault, so you can make that decision with a real number in front of you.
Warning lights do not scare us
A dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree looks worse than it often is. An engine management light can mean anything from a cheap sensor to a real mechanical fault. An ABS light on its own usually leaves you with normal braking, while an airbag light means a safety-system fault worth taking seriously. You can legally sell a car with warning lights on, and we do not need them diagnosed and cleared before we buy. Tell us what is showing, and if you have had the codes read, that helps us price it accurately. Either way the light staying on is fine.
Broken down and stuck where it stopped
If the car has broken down and is sitting on a drive, in a car park or at the roadside, we come to it. We have collected a Renault with a slipping clutch stuck in a Hexham car park the same day, a high-mileage Golf estate held together with cable ties, and a Jaguar with dead indicators and headlights stuck on. The recovery truck and winch handle whatever will not move.
We have done this with real cars, real faults
We are not guessing. The case studies below are genuine broken cars with genuine mechanical faults that we bought and collected across the Tyne Valley, not stock photos. If your car has a fault that has turned it into a money pit, we will take it off you cleanly.
Know the exact fault? We have a page for it
If you already know what has gone, we cover the big ones in detail: a blown head gasket, a failed or slipping clutch, gearbox and transmission problems, DPF problems on a diesel, a failed turbo, timing chain problems, a snapped or overdue cambelt, a faulty EGR valve, faulty injectors, suspension problems, a car that overheats, a stolen or failed catalytic converter, brake problems, electrical faults, a failed dual mass flywheel, air conditioning problems or power steering problems. Whichever it is, we buy the car as it stands.
We come to the breakdown, not the other way round
Whether it died on a drive in Wylam, a car park in Hexham or out at Fourstones, we collect it where it stopped, right across the Tyne Valley and into Newcastle. No recovery fee comes off the offer, the paperwork's ours to handle, and you're paid by bank transfer there and then.
If the repair quote is more than the car is worth, do not pour money into it. Get a firm figure from us first and decide with a real number.

Common questions
Will you buy my broken car?
Yes. We buy broken cars across Hexham and the Tyne Valley, from a slipping clutch or failed gearbox to engine faults, electrical faults and broken-down cars sitting where they stopped. You do not need to attempt any repair first.
Do you buy cars with a broken clutch or gearbox?
Yes, regularly. A slipping clutch or a failed gearbox is one of the most common faults we buy. We collect the car as it is, including from wherever it has stopped, and pay on the day.
Do you buy cars with warning lights on?
Yes. Engine management, ABS, airbag, glow-plug and AdBlue lights do not stop us buying, and it is legal to sell a car with them on. You do not need to clear them first. If you have had the fault codes read, share them and we can price it more precisely.
Will you buy a car with engine problems?
Yes. Misfires, rattles, smoke, overheating, oil-pressure warnings and seized engines are all cars we buy. If the repair would cost more than the car is worth, selling it to us as it stands is usually the smarter move.
Do you buy broken-down cars near me?
Yes. If your car has broken down and is sitting where it stopped anywhere across the Tyne Valley or Northumberland, we bring the transport to it. There is no separate recovery fee taken off the offer.
