Trade plate vehicle movements in Swansea and the bay

Reaching Swansea from junctions 42 to 47 of the M4

Most long runs come in between junctions 42 and 47 of the M4. Junction 42 and Fabian Way serve the east side, junction 47 at Penllergaer covers the west and the A4067 climbs the valley. Queues at Briton Ferry or a match at the Swansea.com Stadium can slow the last stretch, so we agree a realistic slot with you rather than promise a same day run.

Morriston, Llansamlet, Neath, Gorseinon, Mumbles and Llanelli are all close neighbours. Collecting at Fforestfach and delivering in Uplands is one job, and so is collecting in Swansea and delivering to Glasgow.

After a one way delivery our driver can head home from Swansea station at the end of the main line, or from Llansamlet to the east or Gowerton to the west if the drop was out that way.

Sketty, St Thomas, Morriston: why the SA postcode matters

A car in Sketty is SA2 and one in the centre is SA1, so the exact postcode makes a real difference to the driver. Morriston sits around junction 45 in SA6 and has its own vehicle movements in Morriston page, while SA15 is covered by vehicle movements in Llanelli.

Wind Street, Kingsway and the roads around the marina are tight, so a collection there needs somewhere our driver can stop legally. Homes in Uplands, Sketty or Mumbles are usually easier. Units at Fforestfach often have a barrier, so please add a named contact and gate code to the booking.

Auction lots from Wilsons Newport, BCA Bristol and Manheim Dursley

With no auction compound in Swansea itself, the nearest options are Wilsons Auctions Newport along the M4, BCA Bristol over the Severn and Manheim Dursley in Gloucestershire. You can collect from Wilsons Auctions Newport after release and we will drive the car back west to your forecourt.

We check the release with the auction you name before our driver heads up the M4, so no one waits at the gate. There is more on auction collections on our dedicated page. Salvage cars and vans are outside what we can drive. If the other end of the move is in the capital, see vehicle movements in Cardiff.

Dealer transfers and home deliveries around Swansea Bay

A typical Swansea booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Cardiff or Carmarthen, or a part exchange going to Wilsons Newport once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Fforestfach, Swansea Enterprise Park and the SA5 estates, and each one needs a valid MOT.

If you have promised a customer off Uplands Crescent a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer to squeeze down a terraced street. You can find out more about dealer deliveries and site transfers.

On a short hop from Fforestfach to Uplands or a long drive north, we note condition and take photos at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and you get one report by email.

Booking an SA postcode movement

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start it. We provide the trade plates, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for. Our guides explain driven trade plate movements and our UK coverage from Glasgow.
