Sell My Damaged Car
A damaged car — whether that's cosmetic bodywork, a mechanical fault, or something more significant — can still be sold. The key is disclosing the damage clearly so interested buyers know exactly what they're considering.
Types of damage buyers ask about
Bodywork and cosmetic damage (dents, scratches, panel damage), mechanical faults (engine, gearbox, suspension), interior damage, and previous accident history are the main things buyers want to understand.
If the car has a recorded insurance write-off category (Cat N, Cat S, or older Cat C/D), mention this — it's information a serious buyer will want and can usually find out anyway via an HPI check.
Why accurate disclosure helps you
Being specific about damage in the 'known problems' section of the Sell My Car form means you're matched with buyers who specifically deal with damaged vehicles, rather than buyers who'll be put off on inspection.
Photos are especially useful for damaged cars — they let a buyer assess the extent of the damage before making contact.
