Sell My Non-Runner Car — Get an Instant Online Valuation

A car that won't start is still worth money. Whether it's a failed engine, a broken gearbox, an electrical fault, or an MOT failure, Fast Easy Car considers non-runners — subject to the vehicle's individual condition and collection feasibility.

Here's what you need to know and how to get a valuation.

What We Consider

We look at non-running cars in a wide range of conditions:

• Engine failure — seized engines, blown head gaskets, timing chain failures
• Gearbox and transmission problems — failed gearboxes, clutch failures, drivetrain issues
• Electrical faults — ECU failures, wiring problems, flat batteries that won't hold charge
• MOT failures — cars that have failed their MOT and aren't worth repairing
• Accident damage — cars damaged in collisions, whether or not insurance is involved
• Flood and water damage — cars affected by flooding or water ingress

Every car is different. The valuation you receive will reflect what you tell us about the vehicle's condition — so the more accurate and honest you are, the more accurate your valuation will be.

How Valuation Works for Non-Runners

1. Enter your registration Type your car's registration number. We'll identify the vehicle from DVLA records.

2. Tell us about the condition Answer questions about what's wrong with the car — what doesn't work, what damage there is, whether it starts or drives. This is what determines your valuation.

3. Get your instant valuation You'll receive a valuation based on the information you've provided. It's free, with no obligation to sell.

4. Collection (subject to feasibility) If you accept the valuation, we'll discuss collection arrangements. Collection of non-runners is subject to collection feasibility — factors like vehicle location, accessibility (e.g. is it in a garage, on a driveway, or on the street?), and whether specialist recovery equipment is needed. We'll confirm the arrangements when you accept your valuation.

Important: Purchasing and collection of non-runners are subject to the individual vehicle's condition and collection feasibility. Your valuation is based on the condition information you provide, and may be reviewed on collection.

What Affects a Non-Runner's Value

Several factors determine what a non-runner is worth:

• The car itself — make, model, age, and mileage all matter, even if it doesn't run
• The nature of the fault — a known, fixable issue may be worth more than an unknown problem
• Overall condition — bodywork, interior, and other components still have value
• Whether it starts or drives — a car that starts but has a gearbox issue is different from one that's completely dead
• Parts value — some non-runners are worth more for parts than for repair
