Trade plate vehicle movements in Melton Mowbray and the Vale of Belvoir

Melton Mowbray roads: the A606, the A607 and the Vale of Belvoir

The A606 runs north west to Nottingham and south east to Oakham, while the A607 heads to Leicester. There is no motorway through the town, so the final part of any long run is on Vale A roads, and we agree a realistic date with you rather than promise a same day slot.

The town centre around the market and the cattle market is tight, especially on livestock days. Compounds on Saxby Road and Pate Road usually have a barrier, while Asfordby, Thorpe Arnold and the streets by the River Eye are different final stretches. If the car is really in Oakham or Bottesford, please name the town.

We cover Asfordby, Oakham, Bottesford, Syston, Leicester, Nottingham and Grantham as well. An Asfordby to Melton hop is one job, and so is Melton to Glasgow. Melton Mowbray station, on the line between Leicester and Peterborough, gives our driver a way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Nottingham, Manheim Shepshed and BCA Castle Donington

There is no auction in Melton, so most local buyers collect from BCA Nottingham along the A606 once the lot is released. Manheim Shepshed is the Leicestershire option, BCA Castle Donington lies to the west and Manheim Bruntingthorpe covers lots bought further south.

It is tempting to send a driver straight up the A606, but we always confirm release first so nobody loses a morning at the gate. Read about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

Dealer transfers and food industry fleet vans from Saxby Road

A typical Melton booking is a Vale independent sending a car to a group site in Leicester or Nottingham, or a part exchange heading to BCA Nottingham once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans from the food industry units on Saxby Road need a valid MOT before we can move them.

When a customer in Asfordby is waiting for their car, our driver delivers it to the door. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and add a named contact to every booking.

Moving one vehicle at a time means your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A46.

Avoiding delays between Melton, Oakham and the A606

Closures on the A606, livestock traffic on market days and an Oakham address booked as Melton cause most hold ups. Tell us whether the car is at BCA Nottingham, at a house near Thorpe Arnold or on Pate Road, and choose a date you can keep.

A short hop from Asfordby gets the same record as a long run. Condition and photos are taken at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and both proofs reach you in one report by email.

Booking an LE13 vehicle movement with OVM

The trade plates are ours, but the vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. If it is not, it needs a transporter. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for. Read more about driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
