Sittingbourne is one of the closest collections we do. We’re a Kent business based on Medway City Estate in Rochester, so it’s out along the A289 through the Medway Tunnel, onto the M2 at Hempstead, one junction east to Stockbury and then straight up the A249 into the town. Twenty minutes on a normal day. If the A249 is stacked up at Key Street we come the old way instead, along the A2 through Rainham, Newington and Bapchild.
That closeness is the reason same day collection here is usually a genuine offer rather than a hopeful one. You get a valuation on the whole vehicle, faults and all, with no obligation and nothing to fix or move beforehand.
Because we only buy Fords, we know what a Focus with a tired gearbox, a Fiesta with a failed wet belt or a Transit that has finally given up is actually worth, rather than treating everything with a fault on it as scrap weight.

✓ 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 Sittingbourne
We cover the town, the villages spread out around it and everything across the bridge on Sheppey.
That includes the town centre, Milton Regis, Murston, Kemsley, Chalkwell and Bapchild, the newer estates out towards Borden and Tunstall, and the Eurolink industrial estate where a fair few of the vans we buy have spent their working lives. Further out we collect from Iwade, Newington, Upchurch, Lower Halstow, Bredgar, Rodmersham, Teynham and Lynsted, and down the orchard lanes in between them.
Sheppey deserves its own mention, because people on the island routinely assume a buyer won’t bother coming out that far and end up accepting less than the vehicle is worth. We will come out. The Sheppey Crossing makes it a straight run from the A249, and we collect from Sheerness, Minster, Queenborough, Halfway, Eastchurch, Warden and Leysdown at no extra cost for crossing the bridge.
Wherever the Ford is, on a driveway, on the street, at a garage, on an industrial estate or exactly where it stopped, we come to it. There’s no recovery to arrange and no transport cost, so the figure we quote is the figure you receive.
The Ford faults we see around Sittingbourne
This is a working town, and the vehicles we’re called out to make that obvious.
The M2 and the A249 down to the docks at Sheerness carry a serious amount of traffic, heavy haulage included, and a lot of local cars and vans live on those roads. Big motorway mileage brings its own set of failures: clutches and dual mass flywheels worn through, gearboxes past saving, turbos that have let go and engines that have simply done their time. None of it is unusual here and none of it makes a vehicle worthless.
Then there are the vans. The trades working out of Eurolink and the smaller yards around Murston and Kemsley run Transits hard, often for years past the point where a main dealer would have written them off as a liability. A Transit with a knackered gearbox or a failed injector is still a vehicle we want, which is more than most general buyers will say.
The rest is the older housing stock and the rural edge of the borough. Plenty of cheap, high-mileage Fords around the town reach a point where one MOT failure costs more than the car is worth. Out towards Teynham, Lynsted and the orchard lanes, potholed verges and rough surfaces punish suspension and steering. And on Sheppey the sea gets involved, so an older car that’s spent its life at Minster or Leysdown will usually show more corrosion underneath than the same car in the town.
Some of the most common reasons Sittingbourne owners contact us:
- High-mileage clutch, flywheel and gearbox failure from the M2 and A249 runs
- Turbo failure and worn-out diesel engines
- Worn-out Transit, Transit Custom and Transit Connect vans
- Wet belt failure on 1.0 EcoBoost Fiestas, Focuses and Pumas
- MOT failures on older cars, including corrosion on vehicles from Sheppey
- Accident damage, Cat S and Cat N write-offs, and non-runners
Not sure what’s wrong? You don’t need to be. Tell us the symptoms and we’ll take it from there.
What your broken Ford is worth in Sittingbourne
More than most people expect, and rarely just scrap value.
The figure depends on the model, mileage, specification, the fault and the condition of everything else, not the fault on its own. High mileage in particular gets treated as a death sentence by general buyers, and it isn’t one. A well-maintained car or van that’s covered serious miles on the M2 is often worth considerably more than a neglected one with half the reading on the clock, because the parts that matter are still sound.
Vans follow the same logic and then some. A Transit with a failed gearbox still has an engine, a body, doors, axles and an interior that people are actively looking for, which is exactly why a trade van tends to be worth more broken than owners assume.
Because we only buy Fords, we know which parts of which models are in demand, and we price the vehicle on what’s genuinely left in it rather than deducting for the fault and stopping there.
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.
Why sell to a Ford specialist?
General “we buy any car” services are built around clean, running cars with modest mileage. Declare a fault, a failed MOT or a six-figure odometer and the offer tends to fall away, because their pricing only really sees a problem to deduct for. Vans they often won’t take at all.
We buy the broken ones on purpose, cars and vans alike. A wet belt Fiesta, a high-mileage Transit and a rotten Ka off the island are three different vehicles with three different values, and we treat them that way. We’re a Kent business and Sittingbourne is close to home, one junction of the M2 and a run up the A249, so collection is quick and arranged around you rather than around us.

How selling to We Buy Broken Fords Works
Repair it or sell it?
If you’ve been quoted for a repair and you’re not sure it’s worth paying, it comes down to one comparison: what the repair costs against what the vehicle is worth as it stands, not what it would be worth once it’s fixed.
On anything that’s already covered the sort of mileage that’s normal around here, that comparison rarely goes the way of the repair. A gearbox, a turbo or an engine on a car or van with big miles behind it routinely costs more than the whole thing is worth, and the money spent doesn’t come back at resale.
It’s also worth being honest about what comes next. A vehicle that’s needed one large repair at that age and mileage is rarely finished asking. Our guide on repairing versus selling your Ford works through the maths properly, and if it’s a van that’s off the road, our guide to selling a broken Transit covers what to expect. Either way, get a valuation on the vehicle exactly as it is and compare the two figures before you commit to the work.
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.
