Trade plate vehicle movements in Kettering, Northamptonshire

The A14, the A43 and the A6 around Kettering

The A14 links Kettering west to the M1 and M6 and east to Cambridge, the A43 heads for Northampton and the A6 runs north to Leicester and south to Bedford. Our long runs usually leave at junction 10 of the A14, and we agree a realistic date rather than a same day promise.

The streets around the market are tight, the estates on Telford Way and at Kettering Venture Park have barriers and homes on the Wicksteed side need someone in and a legal place to stop. Barton Seagrave and Avondale each have their own last stretch, and Corby is a different town altogether, so please send the postcode.

Collecting in Burton Latimer and delivering in Kettering is one job, and so is a run from Kettering to Glasgow. Wellingborough, Northampton and Market Harborough are all neighbours. Kettering station on the Midland Main Line runs to London St Pancras one way and Leicester and Sheffield the other, which gives our driver an easy way home.

Auction collections from Manheim Northampton

There is no auction in Kettering, so most local buyers collect from Manheim Northampton along the A43. BCA Bedford lies to the east, Manheim Bruntingthorpe covers Leicestershire and BCA Nottingham is further north.

We confirm the release with Northampton, or whichever site you name, before a driver sets off. For a Northampton lot, the steps are on our auction collection after release page. Salvage vehicles from Northampton must travel by transporter.

Dealer transfers along the A14

Independents in Kettering, Corby and Burton Latimer send stock to group sites in Northampton, Leicester and Bedford. Part exchanges go to Manheim Northampton once they are legal, and fleet vans leave Telford Way with a valid MOT, each moved on its own.

When a customer in Barton Seagrave or on a street off the High Street is waiting for their car, our driver arrives in it, with no trailer parked on an A14 slip road. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and add a named contact for any business park.

When the A14 closes between junctions 9 and 11

A closure on the A14 between junctions 9 and 11 sends traffic straight through Kettering, so choose a date you can keep and we will plan around it. Tell us whether the car is at Manheim Northampton or a house near Avondale, and the driver will go straight there.

A short hop from Burton Latimer gets the same care as a long run north, with photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking an NN16 movement with OVM

We provide the trade plates, but the vehicle needs its own valid MOT where one is required and must be legal to drive, otherwise it needs a transporter. It stays covered by our motor trade road risk insurance until it is signed for. We explain driven trade plate vehicle movements in more detail elsewhere, along with how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
