How To Value Your HGV Before Selling

We buy:  Tractor units • Tippers • Rigids • Fleet vehicles — All makes. All conditions. Running or non-running. UK-wide.

Step 1: Condition Still Matters — But It Doesn’t Stop a Deal

Condition always affects the number — but it doesn’t stop us buying.

Clean trucks achieve strong prices.

Trucks with issues are still bought every day.

DPF problems, AdBlue faults, engine issues, damage, non-runners — send photos.

We’ll give you a straight number based on what it actually is.

Step 2: What Drives Demand

Some trucks are easier to place than others — but everything has a market.

Volvo FH, Scania R/S, DAF XF and MAN units all have strong demand in the UK and export markets.

Euro 6 trucks are strongest in the current market.

Euro 5 trucks still sell — especially for export or specific work.

Spec, history and presentation help — but they don’t stop a deal.

We buy across the board. If it’s got a value, we’ll price it.

Step 3: Auction vs Direct Sale

Auction results vary depending on the day.

Fees apply whether it sells or not.

Payment takes time.

And there’s always an element of risk.

Direct sale is simple:

Price agreed upfront.

No fees.

Paid on collection.

For problem trucks, non-runners, or anything that needs a straightforward exit — direct sale is often the easier option.

Step 4: Documents You Need Ready

Have your documents ready where possible:

V5C

MOT history

Service records

Finance clearance

It speeds things up — but it doesn’t stop a deal if something is missing.
