Sell your crashed, damaged or imperfect car

Yes, absolutely. Second Gears was created for people who want to sell crash-damaged, MOT-failed, written-off, or repaired cars. You can list your vehicle in minutes and receive instant offers from verified buyers. Our network of rebuilders and dealers specialise in cars that need work, so you'll get a fair price without the hassle of auctions or underpriced trade-ins.

Selling your car with Second Gears is quick and straightforward. Enter your vehicle details, upload a few photos, and our verified buyers will send you offers directly. Once you accept an offer, the buyer arranges free collection and payment before or upon pickup. There are no fees, no middlemen, and no waiting around – just a simple and transparent process that keeps you in control.

Yes, you can. If you've chosen to keep or buy back your car after an insurance write-off, you can sell it directly through Second Gears. Many of our buyers prefer purchasing straight from owners instead of through auctions, which means you can often sell for more and avoid the fees and delays that come with the traditional route.

When you send your car to auction, it's usually bought by a dealer or rebuilder who then resells it for a profit. With Second Gears, you sell directly to those same buyers and keep the margin for yourself. Our platform is designed for damaged, repaired, and imperfect cars, so you're reaching the exact audience already looking for vehicles like yours.

Second Gears is home to the rebuild community, so cars that need attention often sell best. Crash-damaged vehicles, Cat S or Cat N write-offs, MOT-failed cars, and light repair projects all perform very well. Our buyers look for potential, not perfection, so even cars with issues can still attract competitive offers.

Second Gears works with you.
