Logistics Fleet Disposal
Logistics fleets cycle vehicles fast and hard. Mileage accrues in a way no other sector matches, so disposal is a routine operational process rather than a one-off event — and it needs to run without pulling vehicles off the network for longer than necessary.
Vehicles we typically handle for logistics operators
Every sector runs a recognisable vehicle mix, and the buyers who want those vehicles are not the same in each case. For logistics the mix is usually:
- Large panel vans on trunking and multi-drop
- Luton box vans with tail-lifts
- 3.5t box bodies
- Medium vans on regional distribution
- Double-manned crew vans
Why logistics fleets dispose
Vehicles reach a mileage threshold and go, whether or not the contract they serve has changed. On top of that, contract wins and losses reshape the fleet quickly — losing a distribution contract can free thirty vans in a fortnight.
- Mileage-triggered replacement policies
- Contract gains and losses reshaping vehicle need
- Depot consolidation and network changes
High mileage sells — to the right buyer
A 180,000-mile van with a full service history is a normal, saleable trade vehicle, and buyers exist specifically for that profile. What matters is the history and the presentation of it, not the odometer reading. We market documented high-mileage vehicles on their maintenance record.
- Full service history presented with the lot
- Tail-lift condition recorded and priced in
- Batches split across sales so identical vans don't compete
Getting the right buyers in front of your vehicles
Sector-specific vehicles sell best to the trade buyers who need that exact build. Through the EAMA Group auction network your logistics vehicles are presented to a national base of dealers, operators and specialists rather than a single trade buyer making one offer — which is where the value difference on converted and equipped vehicles comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions
We replace vehicles continuously — can disposal be ongoing?
Yes. Most logistics operators run a rolling arrangement where vehicles are collected as they come off the network rather than in one annual batch.
Will 200,000 miles put buyers off?
Not with documented history. Trade buyers in this space expect it and price against condition and service record instead.
Is there a minimum number of vehicles?
No. We handle single vehicles and rolling programmes of hundreds, though anything over about five is usually planned as a staged disposal.
How much does collection cost?
Collection is included across mainland UK, including recovery for vehicles that cannot be driven.
