Sell my car with DPF problems
A blocked particulate filter can mean forced regenerations, cleaning, or a new filter and sensors, and short-trip diesels often block again. If you would rather stop paying for it, we buy the car with the warning light on.
- Any damage or fault
- Free UK collection
- No fees
- Paid the same day
Why sell your diesel with DPF problems to us

Tell us what has been tried
Additives, a forced regen, a clean or a replacement sensor: what has already been done helps us price it fairly.

Sell my car with DPF problems: FAQs
Do you buy cars where the DPF has been removed?
Tell us honestly if it has been removed or altered. A car without its filter will not pass an MOT, so it changes the price, but we still look at it.
My car only does short trips. Is that why the DPF blocks?
Often, yes. Filters need regular longer runs to burn off soot. That is a common reason sellers decide the car no longer suits them.
Can you collect if it is in limp mode?
Yes. We collect on a recovery truck, so it does not need to be driven anywhere.
