Are you trying to shift an old workhorse that’s either gathering dust in your driveway, or costing you money in repairs? Or maybe it’s a pristine panel van that’s still in great shape. Perhaps it’s a battered tipper that’s seen better days. Either way, you’re in the right place.
At Sell the Van, we really do mean it when we say: we buy any van. From clean and running to clapped out and broken, we’ll offer you a fair and competitive price, and make the process quick and hassle-free.
But what exactly do van buyers like us accept? Let’s break it down.
1. We Buy All Types of Commercial Vans
At Sell Your Van, there’s no such thing as ‘too big’ or ‘too broken’. We accept:
Short Wheelbase Panel Vans
The bread-and-butter van for many tradespeople and delivery drivers. If you’ve got a Transit SWB, Vauxhall Vivaro or Renault Trafic sitting around, we want it. Whether it’s still going strong or on its last legs, we’ll take it off your hands.
Medium and Long Wheelbase Vans
Need to offload a larger van like a Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit LWB or VW Crafter? No problem! Bigger vans are always in demand in the used van market, even if they’re not running perfectly.
Extra Long Wheelbase Vans
Yes, we buy these too. Even if it’s got high mileage or cosmetic damage, chances are we can find a buyer or a use for it.
2. We Buy Specialist Vans and Work Vehicles
Not every van fits into a neat box, and we don’t expect them to.
Tippers and Dropsides
These are common in the construction and landscaping trades. If your tipper no longer tips or your dropside has seen better days, we’ll still offer a fair valuation.
Luton Vans and Low Loaders
Ideal for removals or deliveries, these are always in demand, even with high mileage. Luton vans with tail lifts? Even better.
Chassis Cabs and Flatbeds
Whether it’s been converted for a specific job or is still in base form, we’ll take it.
Recovery Trucks
Running or not, these vehicles still hold value. We often work with mechanics and garages looking to buy recovery vehicles in all conditions.
3. We Buy Vans in Any Condition
We don’t care if your van looks like it’s ready for the scrapyard or if it just passed its MOT last week. Here’s what we accept:
Clean, Working Vans
Obviously, these are always a pleasure to buy. If you’ve taken good care of your van, you’ll get a solid price and speedy results.
Vans with Mechanical Problems
Got engine trouble? Gearbox issues? Knocking noises and warning lights? We’ll still make you an offer, and we’ll collect it for free.
MOT Failed Vans
If your van has failed its MOT and you’re dreading the cost of repair, we offer an easy exit. No need to fix it: just sell it to us.
Accident-Damaged or Written-Off Vans
Even if your van has been involved in a crash, we may still buy it. We often break damaged vans for parts or repair them for resale.
Vans with Cosmetic Damage
Scratches, dents, worn interiors, cracked windscreens: we’ve seen it all. We won’t haggle or knock you down unfairly. We’ll price it based on real market value.
4. We Buy Vans with Paperwork Issues
Selling a van privately with missing or mismatched paperwork is a nightmare. With us, it’s simple.
Lost V5C (Logbook)? We can still buy your van. We’ll help you through the paperwork and make sure the DVLA is notified.
5. We Even Buy Campervans and Motorhomes
Yes, you read that right. If you’ve got a converted van, camper or motorhome that you’re looking to sell, we may be able to help. Many people are moving on from the vanlife trend, and we’ve seen a rise in campervans for sale. We’re interested in most makes and models, even if it’s a DIY build.
6. We Buy Fleet Vans
We regularly work with courier companies, trades businesses and leasing firms to help shift multiple vehicles at once. Whether you’ve got two vans or twenty, we can offer:
- Bulk van valuation
- On-site inspections
- Free collection from your business premises
- Fast, same-day payment for your entire fleet
We’re used to working with fleet managers who lack time and can streamline the process for you.
