Taunton is one of Somerset’s busiest hubs for buying and selling vehicles. Whether you’re based in Taunton town centre, Galmington, Bishops Hull, or even out towards Wellington or North Curry, selling locally through Platform 1 Motor Co saves you time and avoids the uncertainty of online classified sites.

Local buyers understand the area’s demand, road conditions, and typical use cases. We know what vehicles hold value in the Taunton area — from family-friendly hatchbacks to workhorse vans. And because we operate locally, we can often provide faster appraisals, quicker payments, and more flexible appointments than national chains.

We’ve streamlined the process of selling your car in Taunton so you can get a fair offer without the stress or confusion.

1. Submit your vehicle details – Use our quick online form to tell us your car’s make, model, registration, mileage, and general condition. If you already have a car in mind from our stocklist to part exchange against, simply select it.

2. Get a free valuation – Our team will assess your vehicle based on current market demand and condition. You’ll receive a competitive, no-obligation offer.

3. Visit our Taunton site (optional) – If you’re happy with the valuation, we’ll arrange an inspection and finalise the offer. We can sometimes complete the sale the same day.

4. Fast payment – Once everything is agreed, we’ll handle the paperwork and issue secure payment promptly.

There’s no obligation to purchase a new vehicle, and we’re happy to value your car even if you’re just considering your options.

At Platform 1 Motor Co, we buy a wide range of vehicles from drivers across Somerset. Whether your car is a few years old or nearly new, we’ll provide a professional appraisal and clear advice on its resale potential.

We buy:

• Cars of all makes and models (Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, BMW, etc.)

• Light commercial vehicles and vans

• Vehicles with or without part exchange

• Cars with good service history or minor wear and tear

• Vehicles with finance (we can help settle any outstanding balance)

If you’re unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, just get in touch — we’re always happy to assist.

Yes — we make part exchanging your current car or van easy. If you’ve found a vehicle you’re interested in from our current stock, simply select it during the valuation process. We’ll factor your part exchange into the offer, giving you a clear figure for the cost to change.

Our team will also advise on the most financially beneficial route — whether that’s part exchange, sale, or reserving a vehicle while you make arrangements.

To ensure a smooth and legal sale, please bring the following when you visit us:

• V5C logbook (vehicle registration document)

• MOT certificate (if applicable)

• Any service history or receipts

• Spare keys

• Proof of address and ID

• Any remaining finance documentation (if the car is on PCP or HP)

This allows us to finalise the transaction quickly and issue payment without delay.

As a trusted local dealership in Taunton, we combine years of experience with fair, transparent customer service. Unlike online car buying services, we value face-to-face interaction and local knowledge. You’ll never be pressured or upsold — just honest, helpful advice and a clear offer for your vehicle.

We’re proud to serve drivers from across Somerset, including Wellington, Bridgwater, Glastonbury, Chard, Ilminster, and Minehead.

With an established reputation, secure payment process, and customer-first approach, Platform 1 Motor Co is your ideal partner when it’s time to sell or part exchange.
