Sell your damaged Mercedes-Benz
A damaged Mercedes-Benz is almost always a story about repair cost rather than repair difficulty. These cars carry aluminium and high-strength steel panels, multiple driver-assistance sensors behind the bumpers and windscreen, and OEM part prices set against a European original — so a collision that a mid-market car would absorb can produce a six-figure quotation. Once radar and camera recalibration is added, the assessor's total can pass the settlement value of a five- or six-year-old C-Class without the car ever looking especially badly hurt.

Damage we see on Mercedes-Benz vehicles
Front-end damage that disturbs the radar module, the camera bracket or the adaptive lighting is the classic Mercedes write-off, because those components are individually expensive and each one demands calibration afterwards. On the commercial side, Vito and Sprinter panel vans arrive with high-mileage delivery damage — sliding-door tracks, side panels, rear doors and roof strikes from low canopies and loading bays.
We buy Mercedes-Benz vehicles with accident damage, flood damage, hail damage, mechanical failure and non-runners, as well as insurance write-offs coded Code 2, Code 3 or Code 4.
What your damaged Mercedes-Benz is worth
Independent Mercedes specialists rely almost entirely on quality used parts to keep repair costs sane for out-of-warranty owners, which makes salvage genuinely valuable. OM651 and OM654 diesel engines, 7G and 9G automatic gearboxes, airbag modules, headlamp assemblies and Sprinter panels are the fastest-moving items and they lift what we can pay substantially.
We buy Mercedes-Benz models across every year — older high-mileage vehicles right through to current-shape cars only a year or two old. Age matters far less than what the vehicle is worth intact and how sought-after its parts are, so it is always worth asking.
Before you sell
If you are not sure how your Mercedes-Benz has been coded after a write-off, or what you are legally allowed to sell, read Code 2, 3 and 4 vehicles and write-offs explained. You can also browse every brand we buy.
