Sell my damaged car
What is considered a damaged car?
Damage to a car could be caused by an owner not taking care of a car, an accident on the road or by general wear and tear. You could have minor damage which impacts the value of your car, such as stains to seats, small scratches to the bodywork or a chip in your windscreen.
On the other hand, your car could have major damage from a collision which has resulted in the structural or mechanical elements of the car being significantly damaged, which will impact the value more.
Whether your car has minor or major damage, we will provide a no-obligation valuation in under 30 seconds and buy your car in under an hour - begin by simply entering your registration online.
Sell your damaged car without the hassle
No matter the type or severity of the damage, webuyanycar can still buy your car. Enter your reg number and mileage into our free car valuation tool to get started.
Your valuation will be based on a range of factors including the car’s age, mileage, condition (including the damage you’ve entered) and the current market climate.
Once you have received your valuation, it is secured for 4 days to protect you from market changes. This allows you to choose a convenient time to sell your damaged car at one of our 500+ UK branches.
During your appointment, our buyer will confirm your valuation. The price quoted will match the price we pay providing you accurately declared the car’s condition and history.
With our standard payment option, we’ll send the cash to your bank within four business days at no extra cost. However, if you need the cash fast, select our Immediate Payment option and we’ll pay you within 15 minutes.

Selling a written-off car
If your car was involved in an accident and your insurer deemed it to be beyond economical repair, your car will be classed as an insurance write-off.
Under the current system it could be marked Category A, B, S, or N. If your car is a ‘Cat N’ or ‘Cat S’ write-off, you have the option to repair your car and return it to the road.
However, after an accident, the car will be less desirable, and the value will be negatively impacted. Nevertheless, we will still buy your accident-damaged car without the hassle of a private sale.
It is important to be aware that cars marked Category A or B cannot be returned to the roads. Category A must be destroyed, but Category B can be stripped for useful parts, which can be sold.
You can sell your Category A or B car to webuyanycar, but you’ll need to arrange for it to be transported to the branch, as it cannot be driven, and we don’t offer a collection service.
