BMS Salvage: buying damaged and written-off vehicles across the UK

BMS Salvage presents itself as a buyer of damaged cars in the UK. The company operates through a network of buyers distributed throughout the country and acquires vehicles in any condition: accident-damaged, declared a total loss by the insurer, with a failed MOT, non-runners or destined directly for scrap. Its proposition is to find a buyer for any vehicle, regardless of whether it runs or not.

Vehicles it buys

The company's catalogue covers several categories of vehicles:

• Vehicles with accident damage, including those considered "uneconomical to repair".
• Insurance write-offs and vehicles declared by the insurer (Cat C, Cat D and similar categories).
• Vehicles that fail the MOT (MOT failure).
• Non-running vehicles (non-runners).
• Vehicles declared off the road (SORN) or simply for scrap.

The company states that it works with all makes, and mentions among them Audi, BMW, Ford, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.

Sales and valuation process

The process begins with an online quote request: the user enters the registration number and postcode and gets an instant quote. The company notes that the valuation is based on CAP prices and any possible repair costs. For damaged vehicles, it recommends detailing the faults as much as possible and attaching photographs. Once the offer is accepted, the buyer contacts the seller to arrange collection.

BMS Salvage guarantees the price offered: the amount is locked in and can only be changed if, after inspection at the time of collection, the vehicle's condition differs from that described. Collection is free for all vehicles and payment is made by bank transfer, according to the company within 48 hours of scheduling the collection.

National coverage and buyer network

The company states that it operates throughout the UK, from London to Plymouth and from Cardiff to Glasgow, including both large cities and rural areas. Its network of buyers allows, according to its presentation, access to competitive prices in each user's local market. Among the cities mentioned in the company's information are London, Leeds, Manchester, Doncaster, Birmingham, Sheffield, Cornwall, Bradford, Liverpool and Kirklees.
