Most people who contact us about a Birmingham Ford have already done the sums. Either a garage has quoted more than the car is worth, or the car has quietly turned into something that costs money every month and gives nothing back.
We’re a Kent business, based on Medway City Estate in Rochester, so Birmingham is covered by our own transporters rather than by us being anywhere near it. The run is out to the M25, round onto the M40 and north through Warwickshire, then into the city on the M42 and the A45. Roughly three hours each way. That’s our cost and it never comes off your figure.
Because we only buy Fords, we know what a Focus with a blocked DPF or a Kuga with a failing Powershift is actually worth, instead of pricing anything with a fault on it as scrap weight.
WE BUY ALL FORD MODELS, IN ALL CONDITIONS
✓ Free collection, anywhere in Birmingham ✓ Same-day bank transfer ✓ No admin fees, ever ✓ We handle the DVLA paperwork ✓ Free, no-obligation valuation ✓ Ford specialists, not a “we buy any car” service
Where we collect broken Fords in Birmingham
We collect across the whole city, not just the middle of it. In the inner terraced districts, Small Heath, Sparkhill, Sparkbrook, Handsworth, Aston, Alum Rock and Bordesley Green, almost everything lives at the kerb, and a car that has stopped has to sit where it stopped until somebody takes it away. We load non-runners and we don’t need a driveway to do it.
South of the centre we cover Kings Heath, Moseley, Selly Oak, Bournville, Harborne, Hall Green and Acocks Green, including the student cars that pile up around Selly Oak and the universities. North and east, that’s Erdington, Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Castle Vale, Shard End, Yardley and Stechford. Out on the south-west edge, Northfield, Longbridge, Weoley Castle, Bartley Green, Quinton and Rubery.
Driveway, street, works yard, garage forecourt or industrial unit, we come to the vehicle, we do the loading, and it costs you nothing.
The Ford faults we see around Birmingham
The most common reason a Birmingham owner calls us isn’t a mechanical fault at all. The city has charged older diesels to enter the Clean Air Zone inside the A4540 ring road since 2021, so a Focus or Mondeo diesel that runs perfectly well now costs money every time it goes into the centre. We won’t quote a rate, because they change and a wrong number is worse than none. The effect is the point: the car is dearer to keep, and harder to sell privately, because every buyer in the city is weighing up the same charge. It makes no difference to our offer. We aren’t buying it to drive it into Birmingham.
The driving pattern behind that produces the next fault on the list. Short hops across a congested city never get a diesel hot enough for the DPF to complete a regeneration, so it loads up with soot and blocks, and the EGR valve furs up alongside it.
- Older Focus, Mondeo, Kuga and Transit diesels that don’t meet the Clean Air Zone standard
- DPF and EGR failure on diesels doing short urban journeys
- Wet belt failure on 1.0 EcoBoost Fiestas, Focuses and Pumas, where the repair bill routinely outruns the value of the car
- Powershift automatics on the Kuga and Focus, shuddering at low speed and then failing outright
- Worn-out Transits from the trades, gearboxes, clutches and injectors included
- Springs, bushes and wishbones beaten out by poor road surfaces, and the MOT failures that follow
- Accident damage, Cat S and Cat N write-offs, and non-runners

What your broken Ford is worth in Birmingham
More than most people expect, and rarely just scrap value. The figure comes from the model, mileage, specification, the fault and the condition of everything else, not the fault on its own. A Fiesta with a wrecked wet belt still has a gearbox, an interior, wheels, electronics and straight panels behind it. A Transit with a tired EcoBlue still has a body, doors, loom and running gear, and van parts hold their value.
Longbridge built cars for the best part of a century, and plenty of people out that way can already tell the difference between weight price and salvage value. Salvage value is what we work to.
How selling your Ford works
Send us the registration, the model, rough mileage and what’s gone wrong. Photos help if you have them. We come back with a free valuation and there’s no obligation attached to it. If the figure suits you, we book a collection date and plan it into our run up to the West Midlands. Our own driver and transporter come to the vehicle, we deal with the DVLA paperwork, and the money goes over by bank transfer, often the same day we collect.
Why sell to a Ford specialist?
General “we buy any car” services are built around clean, running cars. Mention a failed MOT, a blocked filter or a van that won’t start and the offer collapses, because their pricing only knows how to deduct. We buy the broken ones on purpose. A wet belt Fiesta, a Powershift Kuga and a Transit with a dead gearbox are three different vehicles worth three different amounts, and we price them that way. The figure we quote is the figure you’re paid, and nobody renegotiates at the kerb.

How selling to We Buy Broken Fords Works
Repair it or sell it?
If the repair is cheap and the vehicle is otherwise sound, fixing it is usually the right call and we’ll say so. The comparison that counts is the quote in your hand against what the Ford is worth as it stands, not what it would be worth once it’s mended. On an older Fiesta or a high-mileage Transit, a wet belt engine, a Powershift gearbox or a long MOT failure list gets past that line quickly. A non-compliant diesel is a different sum again, because even repaired it still costs you every time you drive into the zone.
No waiting around. No hidden fees.
No time wasters.
We make selling your broken Ford as simple as possible. Once you accept your offer, we handle everything, including collection from your door. Payment lands in your bank the same day we collect.
