What our customers say
“Great quote, over £100 more than other competitors. Simple online process, van collected soon after, money straight in the bank. Recovery driver very helpful with my non runner van that wasn't in the easiest position to take away. Highly recommend.”

Van collection in Colchester
CO1–CO6 postcodes sit on the A12 and are home to a significant military garrison alongside commercial construction and trades. Ex-contractor and civilian trade vans from this corner of Essex are collected by us regularly.
Colchester Garrison and 16 Air Assault Brigade make this one of the UK's most military-influenced van markets, MOD contractor logistics vehicles from the garrison operations sit alongside civilian construction trades from a growing city and retail distribution from the Stanway commercial belt. The A12 gives Colchester direct access to both London and the Felixstowe port corridor, and mileage profiles reflect both urban and long-haul running.

Selling your van in Colchester, common questions
Do you collect vans from Colchester?
+
Yes, we collect from Colchester and surrounding areas including Chelmsford, Clacton-on-Sea, Braintree, Witham. Enter your reg above, get an offer in seconds, and a driver will come to you.
I have an MOD contractor van from the Colchester Garrison, site compliance maintenance records throughout. Does that regulated documentation support a better offer?
+
MOD site compliance maintenance records are credible evidence of condition. They let us price on confidence rather than assuming worst case. Bring the records on collection day and mention them when accepting.
My van has done 165,000 mostly A12 motorway miles between Colchester and the M25, is there a real offer at that mileage?
+
A12 motorway mileage at 165k is assessed on mechanical condition rather than the distance alone. Enter the reg and describe what you know about the drivetrain, there's a real offer for a running van at that mileage.
Do I need an MOT to sell my van?
+
No. We buy vans without MOT and arrange collection from your address, you don't need to drive it anywhere.
What about outstanding finance on the van?
+
If the van is on finance, we settle the outstanding balance directly with your lender. Common situation, no drama.
How quickly can I sell my van?
+
Fastest case: accept the offer today, collection tomorrow, cash cleared that afternoon. Most sellers in the area complete in under 24 hours.
