How to Sell Old Company Car Without Roadworthy - Fast, Nationwide Cash

Selling an old company car without roadworthy: what you need to know

If you need to sell-old-company-car-without-roadworthy, you’re not alone. Many businesses and fleet managers in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban face the same challenge when a vehicle is out of use, fails a roadworthy test, or is no longer cost-effective to repair. Sell Your Damaged Car buys company cars in any condition, handles the paperwork and arranges free nationwide towing so you can convert an unwanted asset into cash quickly.

Why some company cars lack a roadworthy certificate

• Major mechanical faults or accident damage that prevent a pass.
• Expired or lapsed maintenance on older fleet vehicles.
• Cars taken off the road for long-term storage or decommissioning.

Value proposition when selling without a roadworthy

Selling without a current roadworthy does not prevent a sale - it affects logistics and valuation. Our service provides a clear alternative to costly repairs, towing arrangements, and private-sale delays: we give a competitive cash offer, collect the vehicle for free and complete transfer paperwork including deregistration where required.

Quick comparison: Repair cost vs value retained (examples in R, estimates)

These are illustrative ranges for South Africa and depend on model, age and parts availability. Often it is more practical to accept a cash offer on the vehicle as-is rather than invest in repairs that won’t proportionally increase resale value.

For fleet managers unsure about options for non-running units, see our guidance on selling non-running vehicles at Sell Non-Running Car and read how our process works on the company page at About / How it works.
