Sell A Non-Running Motorbike

It does not need to start, be taxed, or have an MOT. We collect by van.

A bike that will not start is not a bike nobody wants - it is a bike most private buyers cannot deal with. They would have to arrange transport, take a gamble on what is wrong with it, and hope the paperwork stacks up. That is exactly the sale we are set up for.

Seized engines, flat batteries, missing carbs, half-finished rebuilds, boxes of parts, bikes that have sat under a sheet since 2011 - all of it gets bought. Because collection is by van, the bike never has to turn a wheel, and you never have to insure or MOT it just to move it on.

  • Free collection anywhere in mainland UK
  • Every quote reviewed by a real person
  • Paid by bank transfer on collection day
  • No obligation and nothing to pay

Getting The Best Price

How a non-runner is valued

The more we know upfront, the firmer the offer — and the less chance of it changing when we collect.

How complete it is

A bike missing only a battery is a very different proposition to one missing a cylinder head. The more complete it is, the more it is worth - even if none of it works.

Paperwork

A V5C in your name is the single biggest thing you can have. Without it we can often still buy, but it takes more proof of ownership and affects the figure.

Known fault vs unknown

If you know what is wrong with it, say so. A diagnosed fault is easier to price than a mystery, and honesty here keeps the offer intact at collection.

What it is

A non-running modern classic or desirable sports bike is worth restoring. A tired commuter may be worth more in parts. Both get a genuine offer.

Common Questions

Sell A Non-Running Motorbike — your questions answered

No. Neither is needed to sell it or for us to collect it - our vans are insured to transport it, so the bike never goes on the road under its own power.

We can often still buy the bike, but we will need other evidence that it is yours to sell, and it usually affects the offer. Tell us upfront rather than at collection.

Yes, particularly if the frame, engine and paperwork are all there. Describe honestly what is present and what is missing and we will give you a real figure.
