The concept of a recovery truck, often referred to as a breakdown or tow truck, plays a pivotal role in vehicular assistance and logistics in the UK. These indispensable vehicles have a storied history, evolving from basic hoists and chain setups to the technologically advanced and highly efficient units we rely on today.
The inception of the recovery truck dates back to the early 20th century. Initially developed as a response to the need for moving vehicles incapacitated by mechanical failures or accidents, these trucks have become synonymous with roadside assistance. In the UK, the growth of the automotive industry post-World War I provided a breeding ground for the evolution of roadside recovery services. The sophistication of recovery trucks increased over the decades, integrating hydraulic systems and later, computerized controls to enhance their operational capabilities.
In the contemporary scene, the UK market for recovery trucks is diverse, featuring a range of models designed to cater to different needs, from lightweight vehicles for urban use to heavy-duty trucks capable of handling large commercial vehicles. The rise in vehicular traffic and the inevitable upticks in roadside incidents have solidified the recovery truck as an essential part of urban and rural transportation management.
Parallel to the evolution of recovery trucks, the UK's van market has also seen significant developments. From compact vans suitable for tight city streets to larger commercial vehicles, the versatility and utility of these models have made them favorites among tradespeople and delivery services. Popular models like the Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter dominate the landscape, offering varying sizes and customizations that suit a wide range of business needs.
Understanding the roots and present state of recovery trucks not only adds to our appreciation of these vital vehicles but also underlines the importance of continuous innovation in this field. Whether you're looking to sell your van or require a van valuation, understanding the history and utility of the vehicles involved is paramount.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.
If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

We buy any van, literally. Every van has a value, new or old, running or not.
We buy any van make or model, and any body type. Get a valuation today and see if we can help you sell your van.
Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
