Selling SORN car

truescot

My mum recently passed away and I'm looking for the most hassle-free way to sell her car. I am now the registered keeper and it has an MOT but is SORN so I can't drive it anywhere. Any reputable companies who will buy it and collect it from my driveway for a reasonable price?

If it runs then you could tax it and then reclaim when you sell it, so you'd only pay for the one month.

Similarly you can get short-term insurance.

You can probably sell it for scrap if you just want a quick sale but you would get more if you tax it and then sell it. I don't think even the webuyanycar type places do collections. You might be able to ask a local small private dealership if they would buy it off you but again you will be getting bottom dollar for it.

Both Cazoo and Motorway will collect.

I thought Cazoo was basically closing down and didn't have any sites in Scotland any more (assuming the OP lives there)?

They still have a massive ad campaign and are sponsoring the current snooker. I know they have had cash flow issues but no sign they are closing down at this point.

Fair enough. I'll shut up and go away then.

I watch High Peak autos on youtube and they seem to buy a lot of cars like yours

They're based in the northwest so it might depend on where you are if they have to collect.

Closing down the leasing part from the threads here but not sales

Carwow state you state that it is SORN and dealers will collect if interested in buying the car.

Put it on eBay, it will get its value.
