Trade plate vehicle movements in Loughborough and the Soar valley

Around Loughborough: the A6, the A512 and junction 23 of the M1

The A6 links Loughborough with Leicester to the south and Derby to the north, and the A60 heads to Nottingham. For longer runs our drivers take the A512 out to junction 23 of the M1. The A512 fills up at shift change around the industrial land, so we agree a date with you rather than promise a same day slot.

Loughborough is a university town with a one way centre and a tight Market Place. Student housing near the station, the compounds on Weldon Road and homes out at Nanpantan are all different final stretches. If the car is really in Quorn or Barrow upon Soar, please give us the village.

Shepshed, Hathern, Quorn, Barrow upon Soar, Leicester and Derby are all neighbours we cover. A Shepshed to Loughborough hop is one job, and so is Loughborough to Glasgow. Loughborough station on the Midland Main Line gives our driver a quick way home after a one way delivery.

Manheim Shepshed is next door, and release still comes first

Most Loughborough buyers mean Manheim Shepshed when they say auction, a few minutes up the A512. BCA Castle Donington is the nearest BCA, Manheim Bruntingthorpe lies to the south and BCA Nottingham covers lots bought further north.

Because Shepshed is so close, it is tempting to send a driver before the lot is released. We always confirm release with the auction first, so nobody loses a morning waiting at the gate. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Weldon Road

A Leicestershire independent sending a car to a group site in Leicester or Derby is our bread and butter here, along with part exchanges heading to Shepshed once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans from Weldon Road need a valid MOT before we can take them.

If a customer in Nanpantan is expecting their car, our driver brings it to the door with no trailer in sight. Find out how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and include a named contact so someone is in when we arrive.

Moving one vehicle at a time means your car is never held up waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the M1.

Keeping Loughborough and Quorn bookings straight

M1 closures at junction 23, queues on the A512 towards Shepshed and a Quorn address booked as Loughborough cause most delays. Tell us whether the car is at Manheim Shepshed, near the station or on Weldon Road, and choose a date you can keep.

Even a short hop from the compound is fully recorded. Condition and photos are taken at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and both proofs reach you together in one report by email.

Booking an LE11 vehicle movement with OVM

Short or long, every move needs a vehicle that is roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. The trade plates are ours, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for.
