Trade plate vehicle movements in Tiverton and mid Devon

Junction 27, the A361 and the Exe valley

Our drivers reach Tiverton from junction 27 of the M5 along the A361. The A396 follows the Exe south to Exeter and north to Bampton, and the A3072 heads off towards Crediton. A closure on the A361 can hold up the whole Link, so we agree a collection time you can rely on rather than promising a same day slot.

Bampton Street and the streets around the castle are tight. Units on Howden Industrial Estate and Kennedy Way usually have a barrier and a site contact, while a delivery near the canal or in Bolham needs someone to meet the driver and a legal place to stop.

Cullompton, Bampton, Sampford Peverell, Crediton and South Molton all have their own last stretch, so please book the village as well as the postcode. Tiverton has no railway station in the town itself. Tiverton Parkway at Sampford Peverell is the main line stop for Exeter and Taunton, and we plan that road hop for the driver after a one way delivery. If your car is at the Parkway, just tell us and we will collect from there.

Auction collections from BCA Bridgwater, BCA Westbury and Manheim Saltash

There is no auction site in Tiverton, so most local buyers collect from BCA Bridgwater and drive back down the M5 once the lot is released. BCA Westbury is further afield, and Manheim Saltash is the option over the Tamar if that is where you bought.

Release is confirmed with the auction before a driver is booked, so the trip up the M5 is never wasted. Our guide explains how auction collection after release works. Salvage lots from Bridgwater or Westbury have to go by transporter.

Stock moves for mid Devon dealers and fleets

Dealers in Tiverton often need a car taken to a group site in Exeter, Taunton or Barnstaple. Others are sending a part exchange to Bridgwater once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Howden and Kennedy Way, and each one needs a valid MOT before we collect.

If you have promised a customer in Cowleymoor or off Bampton Street a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer blocking Fore Street. Find out how we run site transfers and retail handovers in mid Devon.

Because we move one vehicle at a time, your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A361. Please put a named contact and the current gate code on the booking.

Tiverton, Cullompton or the Parkway: booking the right address

The usual causes of delay are A361 closures, flooding on the Exe and a Sampford Peverell collection booked as Tiverton. If the car is at BCA Bridgwater, tell us and the driver will head up the M5 to the gate. If it is a house in Bolham, we will not send them to Howden first.

Pick a day you can keep and we will plan the run up the Link around it. A short hop from Cullompton is recorded as carefully as a long run, with photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking an EX16 movement with OVM

Any car or van we collect in EX16 must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start it. Our trade plates and motor trade road risk insurance cover the vehicle from collection until it is signed for, and proof of collection and proof of delivery reach you together when the job closes. There is more about what a driven trade plate vehicle movement is and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow on our main pages.
