Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in Oldham

Into Oldham on the A627(M), the A62 and Broadway

Most drives arrive from junction 22 of the M62 along the A627(M), or off the M60 on the east side of Greater Manchester. The A62 links Oldham with Manchester and Huddersfield, and the A663 is Broadway. Queues on the M60 at Hollinwood or a match at Boundary Park can slow things down, so we agree a realistic collection time rather than promising a same day slot.

Yorkshire Street, Union Street and the roads around the town centre are tight. A unit on Broadway, at Higginshaw or in Hollinwood needs a barrier code and a named contact, while a house in Waterhead or Coppice needs its own exact address. If the car is really in Failsworth, Shaw or out in Saddleworth, put that on the booking.

Oldham Mumps is on the Metrolink rather than the main line, so after a one way delivery our driver usually heads for Mills Hill or Moston on the Calder Valley line. We plan that before the job starts.

Local runs to Chadderton, Royton and Rochdale

Collecting on Broadway and delivering to Waterhead is one job, and so is collecting in Oldham and delivering to Glasgow. Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Failsworth, Ashton-under-Lyne and Rochdale are all close neighbours.

Moving vehicles in the city itself? Our Manchester vehicle movements page covers those jobs.

Auction collections from Manheim Manchester and BCA Carrington

There is no auction site in Oldham, so most local buyers collect from one of two Greater Manchester compounds. We collect from Manheim Manchester in Trafford and from BCA Carrington once your lot is released. Further afield, we also collect from BCA Brighouse in Calderdale and Central Car Auctions Accrington.

We confirm release with the site before a driver goes, so nobody waits at the gate. More on auction collection is a click away. We are unable to move salvage on plates, so book a transporter for those.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Broadway and Higginshaw

A typical Oldham booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Manchester or Leeds, or a lot leaving BCA Carrington once it has been released. Fleet vans come off Broadway, Higginshaw and the units in OL8, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

If you have promised a customer in Waterhead a delivery to their door, our driver turns up in the car itself, with no trailer blocking a terraced street. Read how we run site transfers and retail handovers. A locked unit at Higginshaw and a gated house up in Saddleworth need different arrangements, so tell us who will meet the driver.

Booking an OL movement with OVM

We need the vehicle to be roadworthy and legal, and to hold a valid MOT if it is old enough to need one. We bring the trade plates, and if the car cannot go on them it needs a transporter. Condition is recorded before the car moves, the receiver signs at the far end and you get both proofs in one email. Read how driven trade plate movements work and how we reach the whole UK from Glasgow.
