A dead Ford in Solihull is usually parked on a driveway rather than blocking a street, so nobody’s forcing you to make a quick decision. That cuts both ways: there’s no pressure to sell in a hurry, and no reason to accept the first flat figure a general buyer puts on a car that’s genuinely worth something. We’re a Kent business, based on Medway City Estate in Rochester, and Solihull is covered by our collection fleet rather than by being round the corner. The run up is the A289 onto the M2, round the M25 and onto the M40 at junction 1A, then north to the M42 at junction 3A and up to the Solihull junctions, near enough three and a half hours of motorway. We bring the transporter to the car, load it and take it away, and none of that comes off what we’ve agreed to pay you.

Where we collect broken Fords in Solihull
We cover the town and the villages and suburbs spread around it. That means Solihull centre, Shirley, Olton, Dickens Heath, Marston Green, Castle Bromwich and Bickenhill, out to Knowle, Dorridge, Hampton-in-Arden and Balsall Common, and across the edge where the town runs into Birmingham, the airport and the M42.
Driveway, garage, kerbside or the back of a farm building, it makes no difference. We come to the car, we do the loading, and it costs you nothing. There’s no recovery for you to arrange and no charge taken off the offer. If the car won’t start, or the wheels won’t turn after it’s stood for a while, say so when you book the collection so we turn up with the right kit.
The Ford faults we see around Solihull
The Fords we’re called to in Solihull tend to be the better-equipped ones: Titanium and ST-Line Focuses and Kugas, Pumas in the higher grades, the odd Vignale, and Fiesta ST and Focus ST cars that have been enjoyed. Well-kept cars, often with the history, which is exactly why the faults hurt. The big one is wet belt failure on the 1.0 EcoBoost. The belt runs inside the engine, bathed in oil, so replacing it is a long labour job before any parts go on, and if the belt starts breaking up the debris can block the oil pickup and turn a large bill into an engine.
The faults that bring Solihull owners to us most often:
- Wet belt failure and oil starvation on 1.0 EcoBoost Fiestas, Focuses and Pumas
- Powershift and automatic gearbox trouble on the Focus and Kuga, shuddering and hesitating long before it gives up
- Turbo and performance-related wear on ST models and hard-driven EcoBoost cars, often traced back to oil neglect
- DPF and emissions faults on the diesels
- Clutch and dual mass flywheel wear
- MOT failures and corrosion on the older cars
What your broken Ford is worth in Solihull
More than a scrap merchant will tell you, and on a well-specified car considerably more. Trim, options, mileage, history and the condition of everything that isn’t broken all carry value, and they carry it whether the car runs or not. A Titanium Kuga with a failed gearbox still has the interior, the electronics, the body panels and the engine. A Fiesta ST with a tired turbo is still an ST, and the parts on it are wanted.
What we won’t do is price your car as though the spec doesn’t exist. That’s the flat, cautious figure a general buyer reaches for when they can’t tell a base model from a Vignale, and on a car worth proper money it’s an expensive mistake to accept. We’re Ford specialists, so the trim and the desirable options go into the figure rather than being ignored.
How selling your Ford works
- Tell us the registration, the model and trim, rough mileage, what’s gone wrong and whether you’ve got the history. Photos help.
- We come back with a free valuation. No obligation and no chasing.
- If you’re happy with the figure, we agree a collection time that suits you.
- We collect the car, sort the DVLA paperwork and pay by bank transfer, often the same day.
You never drive a broken car anywhere, and you never pay for recovery out of your own pocket 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 sees a problem to deduct for. There’s a worse version of it too: an attractive number online, then a walk round the car on the day, then fault after fault found until the figure barely resembles the quote. On a car with real value behind it, that tactic costs you a lot.
We buy the broken ones deliberately, so we value them properly at the start instead. A wet belt Fiesta, a Powershift Kuga and a Focus ST are three different cars with three different values, and we treat them that way. Once we’ve agreed a price, that’s the price you’re paid, with nothing deducted for fees and no haggling on your driveway, as long as the car turns out to be as you described it.

How selling to We Buy Broken Fords Works
Repair it or sell it?
If you’ve had a quote and you’re weighing it up, the comparison that matters is the repair bill against what the car is worth as it stands now, not what it would be worth fixed. Higher-spec Fords make that a genuine question rather than a formality, because there’s enough value in a Titanium or an ST for a repair to be worth doing in some cases and clearly not worth it in others. A wet belt job with engine damage behind it, or a gearbox rebuild on a car that’s already high mileage, usually lands on the sell side. We’ll give you our figure and you can hold the two numbers up 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.
