When your car fails its MOT, it can feel like the end of the road. Faced with a potentially expensive repair bill, many car owners in Surrey wonder if it’s even worth fixing. The answer often is no – and that’s where we can help.
At Surrey Car Buyer, we buy MOT failures every single day. Whether your car has failed on emissions, brakes, suspension, or any other issue, we’ll make you a fair cash offer and take it off your hands.
Why Selling Beats Repairing
MOT repairs can be incredibly expensive, especially on older vehicles. Common failure points like catalytic converters, suspension components, and brake systems can cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds to fix. For many cars, particularly those with higher mileage or existing issues, these repair costs simply aren’t justified.
Consider this: if your car is worth £1,500 but needs £800 in repairs to pass its MOT, you’re potentially throwing good money after bad. Selling the car as an MOT failure often makes far more financial sense.
What MOT Failures Do We Buy?
We purchase vehicles that have failed their MOT for any reason, including:
- Emissions failures – catalytic converter issues, lambda sensor problems, excessive smoke
- Brake failures – worn pads, corroded discs, binding calipers, handbrake faults
- Suspension issues – worn bushes, damaged springs, leaking shock absorbers
- Corrosion – structural rust, body rot, chassis damage
- Lighting problems – headlight issues, indicator faults, brake light problems
- Steering defects – worn joints, power steering leaks, alignment issues

Selling your MOT failure to us is straightforward. Simply request a quote, tell us what your car failed on, and we’ll make you an offer. If you’re happy with the price, we’ll arrange free collection from anywhere in Surrey and pay you on the spot.

What About Cars Without Any MOT?
If your car’s MOT has expired completely, or you never bothered getting it tested after the last one ran out, don’t worry. We buy cars without MOT too. The same process applies – just be upfront about the vehicle’s condition.
