If you’re asking, “Will Mr Auto Buyer still buy my car if it has…” the short answer is: Yes, we probably will.
Whether it’s battle scars from a fender bender, a worn-out paint job, or a mileage number that looks like it belongs on an airplane, Mr Auto Buyer is here to make selling your car fast, fair, and fuss-free.
Let’s break down what kinds of cars we accept, and why you shouldn’t let a few imperfections stop you from getting cash in your hands.
Will You Buy My Car If It Has Been in an Accident?
Yes — we buy accident-damaged vehicles.
Cars that have been in minor or major accidents are still eligible for a competitive offer. At Mr Auto Buyer, we understand that accidents happen. Our team assesses your vehicle’s value fairly, even if it has:
- Dented panels or bumpers
- Repaired accident damage
- Airbag deployment
- Structural or frame damage
Tip: Be upfront about accident history. It helps us give you a quicker and more accurate offer.
Do You Accept Cars With Scratches, Dents, or Cosmetic Damage?
Absolutely. We buy cars with surface wear and tear all the time.
Scratches, dents, faded paint, or a few scuffs on the alloys are considered normal — especially on older vehicles. These flaws won’t prevent you from selling your car to us.
We buy:
- Cars with keyed doors or body scratches
- Dented panels
- Peeling or faded paint
- Damaged interiors
What If My Car Has High Mileage?
Mileage is just a number — we buy high-mileage cars, too.
Whether your odometer reads 150,000 or 300,000 miles, we’ll still make you an offer. High mileage doesn’t automatically mean low value, especially if your car has been well maintained.
Tips to improve your offer:
- Provide service records
- Mention any recent repairs (e.g. timing belt, new tires)
- Note if it has a clean title and valid MOT (if applicable)
Can I Sell a Car That Has Finance or Outstanding Payments?
Yes, but it’s a bit more involved.
If your car still has finance, we can often settle the balance directly with your lender. You’ll just need to:
- Provide a finance settlement letter
- Bring valid photo ID
- Supply vehicle documents (V5C, service book, etc.)
If the car is in negative equity, you may need to pay the difference to complete the sale.
What About Cars With Mechanical Issues or Non-Runners?
We buy those too. Even if your car won’t start or has engine or gearbox problems, Mr Auto Buyer can help.
We accept cars with:
- Engine faults
- Transmission issues
- Electrical problems
- Non-starting vehicles
Towing or collection is arranged at no extra cost.
Why Sell to Mr Auto Buyer?
We specialize in buying used cars in any condition across the UK. What sets us apart:
- Instant online valuation
- Free collection from your home or workplace
- Fast payments, often same-day
- No haggling or hidden fees
You don’t need a perfect car — just honest info.
Don’t Hold Back
Don’t let dents, dings, or digits on the odometer hold you back. At Mr Auto Buyer, we believe every car has value. Whether it’s lightly used or heavily lived-in, we make it easy to turn your car into cash.
