What we buy in Sheffield
We buy Sheffield City Council licensed Hackneys and private hire across South Yorkshire. Live and lapsed plates both bought. Hackney badge, private hire plate or never re-plated, the licensing status doesn't change the offer.
Prius, Corolla Hybrid, Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Niro run the Sheffield private hire market. We buy them all, any mileage. We check the HV battery at collection with OBD2 instead of docking you for mileage. A 180k Prius with a healthy pack is worth real money.
Sheffield's CAZ has been live since 2023. Non-compliant pre-Euro-6 taxis and private hire vehicles pay £10 a day in the city centre (private cars are not charged). We buy those vehicles at trade value for the export and out-of-CAZ market. The charge is exactly why drivers sell them to us instead of running them on.
Free collection across all S postcodes: Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster. We collect from an agreed location, or you drop off at our Bethnal Green HQ, at a time arranged with you. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
The short answer
It comes down to the model, mileage, licence status and condition, not a computer. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours, priced against live Sheffield trade demand and what we paid for the same vehicle last week. Free collection, paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, no fees for sellers.
Sell by vehicle type
Common questions
No. Pre-Euro-6 taxis and PHVs hit by the CAZ charge are exactly the ones we buy for the export and out-of-CAZ resale market. We price at trade value, not the local retail price the CAZ has pushed down. Selling to us recovers most of what the zone has knocked off local resale.
Yes. High-mileage private hire cars are normal for us. We check hybrid battery health at collection with an OBD2 diagnostic. A 180k Prius with a healthy pack and consistent service stamps is worth real money. Mileage alone is not what we price against.
A normal sale for us. We handle the logbook transfer in-house. Live or lapsed plate, both bought. You are paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. Once the vehicle and paperwork checks are done we send the Faster Payment, and you watch it land on your banking app before we move the vehicle. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender on the day.
