How Do I Sell a Fleet of Vans?
Selling a fleet is a scheduling exercise, not a haggle. The businesses that get the best return do four things: value the fleet before committing, agree reserves in advance, stage the vehicles across several sales, and collect from every site in planned waves rather than ad hoc.
Step one: the list
Registrations, approximate mileage, location and a note of anything obviously wrong. That is enough. We look up specification, MOT status and history from the plate, so nobody has to walk the yard with a clipboard first.
- Registration and site for each vehicle
- Approximate mileage if known
- Runner / non-runner flag
- Any finance still outstanding
Step two: valuation and reserves
You get an expected auction range per vehicle within 24 hours. Reserves are agreed from that, once, so individual lots don't need re-approval on sale day.
Step three: collection and staging
Vehicles are collected in waves by site and entered across consecutive live auctions. Twenty near-identical vans in one sale bid against each other; the same twenty spread across four sales do not.
Step four: settlement and reporting
Funds are released after each sale with a per-vehicle breakdown of achieved price, costs and net, which is what your finance team needs for disposal records.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a fleet sale take end to end?
Typically two to six weeks depending on volume — collection within days, then vehicles staged across the next few live sales.
Can we sell in phases while still operating?
Yes. Most operators de-fleet in tranches so the business keeps running throughout.
What if vehicles are on finance or lease?
Settlement figures are handled from proceeds; leased vehicles are usually better valued before deciding between return and buy-out.
Is there a minimum fleet size?
No. The same process runs for five vehicles as for five hundred.
