Sell your damaged Renault
Very few brands have pushed entry-level pricing as hard in South Africa as Renault has with the Kwid, Sandero and Triber, and that low ticket price is exactly why so many end up written off. When a car's pre-accident value sits around R120,000, a bumper, a bonnet, a radiator and two airbags will comfortably swallow more than seventy percent of it, and the assessor's decision writes itself. Add the number of Kwids and Sanderos working the e-hailing ranks in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban — high exposure, long hours, dense traffic — and the volume of damaged Renaults reaching the market makes sense.

Damage we see on Renault vehicles
Kwid and Triber cases are dominated by rear-end and offset front impacts picked up in stop-start traffic, and the light body structure means a modest impact often distorts the chassis rails. Duster damage skews rural — gravel-road excursions, ditch impacts and underbody strikes on farm and back-road routes where the suspension, sump and lower panels take the punishment.
We buy Renault 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 Renault is worth
Renault's SA parts market runs hot on the cheap end of the range, partly because so many owners are looking for a used panel rather than a new one at franchise pricing. Kwid and Sandero doors, tailgates, lamps and 1.0 and 1.6 petrol engines move well, and the Sandero's mechanical kinship with the old Nissan NP200 keeps demand for its running gear unusually broad.
We buy Renault 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 Renault 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.
