A dead Ford in Brentwood is usually an irritation rather than a crisis. It’s been on the drive a few weeks, it isn’t going anywhere under its own power, and every route to getting rid of it looks like effort: an advert to write, strangers to let onto the drive, offers that arrive low and buyers who don’t arrive at all.
We’re a Kent business, based on Medway City Estate in Rochester. Brentwood is a run we know well: out on the A289 to the M2, west and over the Dartford Crossing onto the M25, then round to junction 28 at Brook Street and into town on the A1023. Our own truck and our own driver, with no recovery firm in the middle of it.
You tell us what the car is and what’s wrong with it, we give you a figure, and if it suits you we come and take it away and pay you. That’s the whole thing.
WE BUY ALL FORD MODELS, IN ALL CONDITIONS
✓ Free collection, anywhere in Brentwood ✓ 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 Brentwood
We cover the town itself and the villages spread around it: Shenfield, Hutton, Ingatestone, Pilgrims Hatch, Warley, South Weald, Herongate, Ingrave, Doddinghurst, Kelvedon Hatch and Blackmore.
Driveway, garage, kerbside, or a garage forecourt where the car has been parked since the diagnosis. We come to it, we deal with the loading, and there’s nothing for you to arrange or pay for.
If the car sits behind a gate, on a long gravel drive, or it’s boxed in by other vehicles, say so when you book and we’ll bring the right truck for it.
The Ford faults we see around Brentwood
Brentwood is family car and commuter country, and the Fords that reach us tend to be well-specced ones. The Kuga leads, usually with a Powershift or automatic gearbox fault, or diesel emissions trouble on the older examples. The Focus is next, often a higher-trim car worn down by the daily run into the City, with clutch, gearbox or engine problems. The Fiesta is nearly always the 1.0 EcoBoost, and nearly always the wet belt. The Puma has been a popular choice here and the earliest ones are now old enough for the same trouble to start showing.
The wet belt is the one that catches people out. It runs inside the engine in oil rather than outside like a conventional cambelt, so changing it means dismantling a long way in and the labour is where the money goes. Leave it too long and the belt sheds material, blocks the oil pickup and starves the engine, which turns an expensive job into a far worse one. Mondeos, S-Maxes and Galaxys come to us when one big repair stops stacking up, and EcoSports and Kas when an MOT bill outgrows the car. We buy Ford vans and pickups on the same basis, the Transit range and the Ranger, at any mileage.
The faults that bring most Brentwood owners to us:
- Wet belt failure on 1.0 EcoBoost Fiestas, Focuses and Pumas
- Powershift and automatic gearbox faults, mainly Kugas and Focuses: juddering at low speed, hesitation pulling away, clunky changes
- Clutch and dual mass flywheel wear from the M25 crawl
- Diesel emissions and DPF trouble on older Kugas and Mondeos
- Engine failure on higher-mileage cars that have been serviced properly and simply given up
- MOT failures with a list long enough to make the whole exercise pointless
What your broken Ford is worth in Brentwood
The fault on its own decides very little. Two Kugas with the same dead gearbox can be worth very different money: one a full-history ST-Line with straight panels and a clean interior, the other kerbed, scuffed and driven twice as far. Same broken part, completely different car.
So we price the model, the spec, the mileage, the history, the condition of everything that still works and how much demand there is for that particular Ford. Spec genuinely moves the figure, which most buyers ignore altogether. ST-Line, Titanium and Vignale cars are worth more even when they’re broken, because the wheels, interior, trim and factory options stay in demand whatever has happened to the engine. That’s what a specialist gets you: we know which parts of which models people are actually looking for, so we’re not guessing at a scrap figure.
How selling your Ford works
- Give us the registration, the model, rough mileage and what’s gone wrong. Photos help.
- We come back with a free valuation, no obligation.
- If it suits you, we agree a collection time that fits around you.
- We collect the car, handle the DVLA paperwork and pay by secure bank transfer, often the same day.
You never drive the car anywhere, and there’s no recovery bill to settle first.
Why sell to a Ford specialist?
General “we buy any car” services are built around clean, running cars. Declare a fault, a failed MOT or a non-runner and the offer tends to collapse, because their pricing only really sees a problem to deduct for. Worse, the deduction often happens on your driveway, after you’ve already cleared the morning for it.
We buy the broken ones on purpose, and the number we give you is the number that reaches your account. Nobody turns up, sucks their teeth at the car and starts again on the price. The one thing we ask is that you’re straight with us up front. If it’s dented, say so. If the interior has had a hard life, say so. If it stopped mid-journey and hasn’t turned over since, say so. Get that right and there are no adjustments at the kerb, no fees taken off at the end and no charge for collection.

How selling to We Buy Broken Fords Works
Repair it or sell it?
The comparison that matters is the repair bill against what the car is worth as it stands, not what it would be worth fixed. Wet belt and Powershift work is expensive enough that the two figures often meet, and once they do, paying to repair rarely leaves you better off. If your car is the exception and repairing genuinely makes more sense, we’ll tell you that rather than take it off you.
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.
