Sell a Car With Power Steering Problems in Hexham and the Tyne Valley
Power steering trouble is more than an inconvenience, because steering that has gone heavy makes a car genuinely hard and tiring to control, especially at low speed and parking, and the steering is checked at MOT. Whether it is the whine of a failing hydraulic pump, a fluid leak, or an electric power steering warning light, we buy cars with power steering problems across Hexham and the Tyne Valley, exactly as they are.
Power steering symptoms we see
- Heavy or stiff steering, worst at low speed and parking
- A whine or groan from the pump as you turn
- Power steering fluid leaking (hydraulic systems)
- An electric power steering (EPS) warning light
- Vague, slow or unresponsive steering
Hydraulic or electric, why it gets pricey
Older cars use hydraulic power steering, a belt-driven pump pushing fluid, so the faults there are a leaking or whining pump, low fluid or a failing rack. Newer cars use electric power steering, where an electric motor and sensors do the work, and a fault in the EPS motor, column or rack tends to be a bigger, dearer job. A steering rack in particular is a serious repair. On an older car, putting the steering right can cost a fair slice of what the car is worth.
Heavy steering is not a fault to live with
Steering that has gone heavy or vague is tiring and harder to place accurately, and the steering is one of the things inspected at MOT. It is not a fault to keep ignoring. If you would rather not pour money into a pump or a rack on a car you were thinking of selling, we will give you a firm figure for it as it stands.
Driving or not, we buy it
Whether the steering is just heavy and you are nursing it, or a failure has left the car unsafe to drive, we buy it. If it should not be driven we bring the recovery truck to wherever it is. Tell us the symptoms and any warning lights, and we price it in fairly.

We come to the car anywhere across the Tyne Valley, with the recovery truck out where a stiff one can't be driven.
Steering that has gone heavy makes a car hard to drive and is checked at MOT. A pump or rack is a real bill, often not worth it on an older car.

Common questions
Do you buy a car with power steering problems?
Yes. Heavy or stiff steering, a whining pump, a fluid leak or an EPS warning light are all faults we buy. We take the car as it stands across Hexham and the Tyne Valley, and collect on our recovery truck if it is not safe to drive.
Is it worth fixing power steering on an older car?
Often not. A failing pump, a leak or an electric power steering rack or column can be a serious bill, and on an older car it can cost a good slice of what the car is worth. Get a firm figure from us for the car as it is first.
Is it safe to drive with heavy steering?
It is hard work and risky, especially at low speed, and steering is checked at MOT. If the steering has gone heavy or is failing, do not nurse it far. Tell us and we will collect the car, on our recovery truck if it should not be driven.
Where can I sell a car with power steering faults near me?
We are based in Hexham and buy cars with power steering problems across the Tyne Valley and Northumberland, including Prudhoe, Haltwhistle and Corbridge, with free collection.
