It usually happens quietly. The car develops a fault, the repair quote arrives, the decision gets put off, and then it’s been months. The Ford is still on the drive, and nobody has decided anything.
We’re a Kent business, based on Medway City Estate in Rochester. Broadstairs is the far corner of the county from us, an hour down the M2 and the Thanet Way then across on the A256, and we make that run regularly. We won’t pretend we’re local to Thanet, but this is our home county and we know the road well.
Whatever state the Ford is in, we’ll buy it, and there’s nothing to fix or arrange first. Because we only buy Fords, we know what a Fiesta that hasn’t turned a wheel in a year is genuinely worth rather than writing it off as scrap.
* WE BUY ALL FORD MODELS, IN ALL CONDITIONS
✓ Free collection, anywhere in Kent ✓ 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 Broadstairs
We cover the town and the rest of Thanet around it.
That includes the town centre and Viking Bay, St Peter’s, Kingsgate, Reading Street, Dumpton and Northdown, and out towards Ramsgate, Margate and the villages inland.
Wherever the Ford is, on a driveway, in a garage, on the street or exactly where it stopped, we come and get it. There’s no recovery to book and no transport cost, so the figure we quote is the figure you receive.
If the car hasn’t moved in a long time and you’re not sure it can be towed easily, say so when you book and we’ll bring the right vehicle. Seized brakes on a car that’s stood for two years are routine, not a problem.
The Fords we buy around Broadstairs
Broadstairs is quieter and more settled than the rest of Thanet, and the cars reflect that. We buy more Fiestas and Focuses here than anything else, usually second cars or ones that have been in the same hands for years, and a good number are surprisingly low mileage.
That catches owners out, because a low-mileage Ford that won’t start feels like it must be beyond hope. It rarely is. More often it’s a flat battery, a seized brake or a fault that was quoted for once and never fixed.
Older Ka and EcoSport models turn up regularly after an MOT failure that outweighs the car. Kugas come to us with Powershift and automatic gearbox trouble. And the newer 1.0 EcoBoost cars, the Fiesta, Focus and Puma, arrive with wet belt failure, where the belt runs inside the engine in oil and takes the engine with it when it breaks up. That one is usually the point where repairing stops making sense on any car.
We buy the rest of the range too, the Mondeo, C-Max, S-Max and Galaxy, along with Transit vans of every size.
Some of the most common reasons Broadstairs owners contact us:
- A repair quote that arrived months ago and was never acted on
- Fords sitting on SORN that are quietly losing value
- MOT failures on older Kas and EcoSports that outweigh the car
- Wet belt failure on 1.0 EcoBoost Fiestas, Focuses and Pumas
- Powershift and automatic gearbox faults on the Kuga
- Structural corrosion found underneath at test
- Cars that won’t start, won’t roll, or both
You don’t need a diagnosis. Describe what it’s doing, or what it stopped doing, and we’ll work from that.
What your broken Ford is worth in Broadstairs
Often a good deal more than owners expect, particularly on a car that’s been looked after and simply hasn’t been used.
Model, mileage, specification, the fault and the condition of everything else all count. A low-mileage Ford with a flat battery and a seized brake is not a scrap car. A tidy Fiesta that’s failed its MOT still has an engine, gearbox, interior and panels that people want.
Because we only buy Fords, we know which parts of which models are in demand and we price the car on what’s actually left in it. And if it turns out the car is worth repairing rather than selling, we’ll say so.
How selling your Ford works
- Tell us about the car: registration, model, rough mileage and what’s gone wrong. Photos help.
- We send you a free, no-obligation valuation.
- If you’re happy, we book a collection time that suits you.
- We collect the car, handle the DVLA paperwork, and pay by secure bank transfer, often the same day.
You never drive a broken car anywhere or pay for recovery first.
What it costs to leave it there
A Ford you’ve stopped using isn’t free to keep. Either the tax and insurance are still going out on a car nobody drives, or it’s sat on SORN losing value month by month while the battery flattens and the brakes seize to the discs. Every month it stands, it’s worth a little less than it was.
And it’s taking up the drive.
There’s no rush from us and no pressure to sell. But the valuation is free, it takes a couple of minutes, and knowing what the car is actually worth tends to make the decision straightforward one way or the other. Most people find the number is higher than the one they’d assumed, which is usually what breaks the deadlock.

How selling to We Buy Broken Fords Works
Repair it or sell it?
If you’ve had a quote and you’ve been sitting on it, the comparison that matters is simple: what the repair costs against what the Ford is worth as it stands today, with the fault on it. Not what it would be worth fixed.
On the older, cheaper cars that make up a lot of what we buy here, that sum is usually clear-cut. An MOT failure with two or three items on it, or a wet belt on a car worth a few hundred pounds, rarely justifies the work.
It’s also worth being honest about what follows. A car that’s needed one significant repair at fifteen years old is seldom finished asking. If it’s a sound car with years left in it, repairing may well be right, and we’ll tell you so. Our guide on repairing versus selling sets out how to weigh the two figures against each other.
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.
