WE BUY USED RENAULT TRUCKS

Renault Models We Buy

Renault T-series — the long-haul flagship. We buy T 380, 430, 460, 480, 520 in High Sleeper Cab and Sleeper Cab. High Sleeper carries the premium. Optidriver gearbox is standard. DTI 11 and DTI 13 Euro 6 engines run reliably past 800k km.

Renault T High — the premium long-haul variant from 2019. T 460, 480, 520 with the bigger High cab. Strong UK and export demand for late-spec units.

Renault C-series — the construction specialist. C 380, 440, 460, 480, 520 in 6x4, 8x4, 8x6 spec. Quarry tippers, mixers, hookloaders, plant carriers. Heavy-duty axles for construction work.

Renault D-series — the urban distribution range. D 12, D 16, D Wide 250, 280, 320 hp. Box trucks, curtainsiders, refuse, refrigerated, tail-lift spec. Lower mileage Euro 6 units especially with fridges hold value.

What Makes a Renault Worth More

We don't lowball — but we DO assess realistically. Here's what bumps the price up on a Renault:

• Lower kilometres for age — under 100k/year average is solid.
• Service history with named Renault dealer — even partial. Buyers pay extra for confidence.
• High Sleeper or T High cab — bigger cab equals more value, especially for export.
• Optidriver gearbox — smooth shifts, no fault codes adds real money.
• Recent MOT and tax — saves the next owner time.
• Optifleet, Optifuel Eco-driving — modern spec moves trucks faster, especially to UK fleets.
• One-owner units — even if high mileage, single-owner trucks command premium.
• Recent EGR or AdBlue service — recent paperwork de-risks the buy.

Common Renault Faults We Still Buy

Don't bin a truck because something's broken. We buy Renault trucks with:

• EGR cooler leaks — common on DTI 11/13 Euro 6. Workshop fix factored in.
• AdBlue dosing module faults — typical 250k-450k km issue. Doesn't put us off.
• DPF regen problems — forced regen needed, blocked filter. We still pay properly.
• Optidriver clutch wear — jerky engagement after 550k km, fixable.
• Turbo failures — particularly DTI 13 early Euro 6. We buy non-runners weekly.
• SCR system warnings — NOx sensor faults, dosing valve failures. None of it stops us buying.
• Cab tilt or hydraulic issues — small fix, full price still possible.
• Accident damage — we price the salvage value properly.
• Non-runners parked up for months — flat batteries, seized brakes. We collect.

Why Renault Holds Value

Renault Trucks is the French HGV brand owned by Volvo Group. Engineering shares with Volvo, which keeps quality up.

Parts availability. Renault dealer network covers the UK and Europe. Parts supply is reliable, repair costs stay reasonable.

Export demand. Renault trucks ship in volume to Africa, Eastern Europe and parts of the Middle East — T-series and C-series especially.

Volvo Group parts sharing. Many Renault DTI engine and Optidriver gearbox parts are shared with Volvo, which makes long-term repair easier.

Long engine life. DTI 11 and DTI 13 engines run reliably to 800k km when serviced.

Renault Truck Buyer FAQs

How quickly can you collect my Renault truck?
Same day in some cases, usually within 48-72 hours of price agreed. Free collection from anywhere in mainland UK.

Will you buy a Renault truck that won't start?
Yes. Non-runners, turbo failures, EGR faults, suspected gearbox — we buy all of it. Send photos and a description.

Do you only buy newer Renault trucks?
No — we buy Renault trucks from 2010 onwards in the right condition. Older trucks if they're spec we can move (export market).

What if my Renault has been off the road for months?
Doesn't matter. Most parked-up trucks just need a battery and a fluid check. We've collected Renaults that haven't moved in 2+ years.

Can you buy a fleet of Renault trucks in one go?
Yes — we regularly buy 5-50 trucks from operators downsizing or restructuring. Single price for the lot, collected over a week.

What documents do I need?
V5C (logbook) is essential. MOT certificate and service history help us value better but aren't mandatory. We handle the change-of-ownership paperwork.

How do you price a Renault compared to part-exchange?
Almost always higher. Dealers price low because they need margin to resell. We're cash buyers reselling direct to UK and export — different pricing model.
