Trade plate vehicle movements in Didcot and the Thames Valley

Auction collections from Measham, Bedford, Bruntingthorpe and Westbury

There is no auction compound in Didcot, so local buyers usually collect from BCA Measham, BCA Bedford or Manheim Bruntingthorpe, with BCA Westbury to the west when the stock is there. Tell us which site holds the car and our driver will bring it back to the Thames Valley.

We confirm the release with the auction you name before anyone heads onto the A34, so there is no wasted trip to the gate. It is all explained under auction collection after release. We do not take salvage on trade plates.

Reaching Didcot from the A34 at Milton Interchange

Most long runs come off the A34 at Milton Interchange or arrive on the A4130 from Wallingford. The A34 runs to Oxford one way and Newbury the other, while the A4130 links Wallingford and Abingdon. A closure on the A34 at Milton or a wet Friday around the Orchard Centre can slow the final stretch, so we agree timings with you rather than promise a same day slot.

Milton, Steventon, Harwell, Wallingford, Abingdon and Oxford are all close by. A car in Milton or Steventon needs its own address on the booking, so give us the exact postcode and village and the driver will head straight there.

Collecting on Hitchcock Way and delivering in Ladygrove is one job, and so is collecting in Didcot and delivering to Glasgow. After a one way delivery our driver heads home from Didcot Parkway on the Great Western Main Line, or from Culham or Appleford if the drop was on the branch.

Dealer moves and fleet vans from Hitchcock Way and Milton

A typical Didcot booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Oxford or Reading, or a part exchange going to BCA Bedford once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Hitchcock Way, the OX11 industrial estates and the units towards Milton. Light vans are fine with a valid MOT, but we do not move rigids or HGVs.

If you have promised a customer off Broadway a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself rather than with a trailer outside Didcot Parkway. You will find the details under site transfers and handovers. We move single vehicles, so nothing waits for a transporter to fill its deck.

Broadway, Station Road and the newer estates

Broadway, Station Road and the streets around the Orchard Centre are tight and often parked out, so a collection there needs a place where our driver can stop legally. Homes in Ladygrove or Great Western Park are usually easier. Yards on Hitchcock Way tend to have a barrier and a site manager.

Put the estate name, gate code and a named contact on the booking so the driver is expected. On a short hop from Milton to Great Western Park or a long run north, we record condition and photos at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and you get one report by email.

Booking an OX11 movement with OVM

Trade plates do not replace an MOT, so the vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid test where one is required. Cover comes from our motor trade road risk insurance, which runs from collection until it is signed for. Read up on driven trade plate movements and our coverage from Glasgow before you book.
