Thinking about upgrading your mobility scooter or powerchair? Part exchange could be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to make the switch.

Mobility scooter and powerchair part exchange allows you to trade in your existing equipment towards the cost of a replacement. Instead of selling your current scooter or powerchair privately, its agreed trade-in value is deducted from the price of your next purchase, reducing the amount you need to pay.

At Nova Mobility, we offer a straightforward part-exchange service for both mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs (powerchairs), with nationwide collection and delivery available across the UK.

And you're not limited to the models currently listed on our website. If you've seen a brand-new mobility scooter or powerchair you'd love to own, we can help source a refurbished version for a fraction of the price of buying new, subject to availability.

What Is Mobility Scooter or Powerchair Part Exchange?

Part exchange is a way of using the value of your current mobility scooter or powerchair towards the purchase of another model.

For example, if you're purchasing a refurbished mobility scooter for £1,200 and receive an agreed part-exchange valuation of £400 for your existing scooter, the remaining amount to pay would be £800.

This is an illustrative example. The amount offered will depend on your equipment's make, model, age, condition and other relevant factors.

The same principle applies to powerchairs. Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing powered wheelchair or move to a different type of mobility equipment, our team can discuss your options.

Part exchange can be particularly useful if your current equipment no longer meets your needs, but you'd prefer not to deal with advertising and selling it privately.

How Does Part Exchange Work at Nova Mobility?

We've made the process straightforward, whether you're part exchanging a mobility scooter or a powerchair.

Step 1: Tell Us About Your Current Scooter or Powerchair

Start by completing our part-exchange enquiry form.

Provide details about your current equipment, including its make, model, approximate age and general condition.

The more information you can provide, the easier it is for our team to assess your equipment and discuss a potential valuation.

Step 2: Tell Us What You're Looking For

Are you looking for a larger road-going mobility scooter, something lightweight and portable, or a powerchair with different seating and control options?

Let us know what you're hoping to upgrade to.

You can browse our refurbished mobility scooters and powerchairs to see the models currently advertised.

Found a brand-new model you like elsewhere? We may be able to source a refurbished equivalent for considerably less than the new retail price.

You don't have to choose from our existing online stock. Tell us the make and model you're interested in, and our team can explore suitable refurbished options.

Step 3: Receive Your Part-Exchange Valuation

Our team will review the details you've provided and discuss the potential value of your existing mobility scooter or powerchair.

Valuations depend on factors including age, condition, make, model and resale potential.

Additional photographs, information or an inspection may be required before a final offer is agreed.

Step 4: Agree on Your Upgrade

Once you've found a suitable replacement and agreed on a part-exchange value, that amount can be deducted from the cost of your purchase.

We'll discuss the next steps and arrange a convenient changeover.

Step 5: Nationwide Collection and Delivery

At Nova Mobility, we offer nationwide part exchange, so you don't need to live near our West Sussex premises to enquire.

We can collect your existing mobility scooter or powerchair when delivering your replacement, making the upgrade process convenient and straightforward.

This means you can arrange your next mobility scooter or powerchair without having to organise a separate private sale or transport for your old equipment.

What Affects the Part-Exchange Value of Your Mobility Scooter or Powerchair?

Several factors influence how much your current equipment may be worth.

Make and Model

Well-known brands and popular models may have stronger resale demand, which can influence their trade-in value.

For powerchairs, the type of chair, seating configuration and available features can also be relevant.

Age and Overall Condition

The age, appearance and working condition of your mobility scooter or powerchair are important considerations.

Equipment that has been well maintained may attract a higher valuation than an equivalent model requiring significant repairs.

Battery Condition

Battery condition can influence the value of both mobility scooters and powerchairs.

The age, performance and remaining useful life of the batteries may be considered when assessing the equipment.

Maintenance and Service History

Information about previous servicing, repairs and maintenance can help our team understand how your scooter or powerchair has been looked after.

Market Demand and Resale Potential

Demand for particular models can affect their part-exchange value.

The availability of replacement parts and the suitability of the equipment for refurbishment may also be considered.

Why Part Exchange Instead of Selling Privately?

Part exchange offers several advantages over advertising and selling your existing mobility equipment yourself.

No Need to Advertise Your Equipment

Selling privately can involve taking photographs, writing listings, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and negotiating prices.

With part exchange, you can discuss your existing equipment and your replacement with the same business.

Reduce the Cost of Your Next Purchase

The agreed value of your current scooter or powerchair is put towards your replacement, reducing the amount you need to pay.

When combined with the savings available from buying refurbished, part exchange can make upgrading considerably more affordable.

Nationwide Collection and Delivery

You don't need to arrange transport for your existing equipment separately.

Nova Mobility can collect your old scooter or powerchair when delivering your replacement, helping make the changeover easier.

Help Finding the Right Replacement

Part exchange isn't simply about trading in your existing equipment. It's also an opportunity to find something better suited to your current requirements.

Our team can help you explore different makes, models and features, including refurbished options that may not currently be advertised on our website.

Can You Part Exchange an Older Mobility Scooter or Powerchair?

Yes, older mobility scooters and powerchairs may still be considered for part exchange.

An older model isn't necessarily without value, although its age, condition, battery performance, parts availability and resale potential will influence whether it can be accepted.

Equipment requiring repairs may also be considered, depending on the circumstances.

If you're unsure whether your current scooter or powerchair is suitable, it's worth submitting an enquiry.

Our team can review the details and discuss the options available.

Looking for a Particular Mobility Scooter or Powerchair? We Can Help Source It

One of the biggest advantages of choosing Nova Mobility is that you're not limited to the mobility scooters and powerchairs currently available on our website.

Perhaps you've visited a mobility shop, tried a particular model or found a brand-new scooter or powerchair online that would be perfect for your needs.

The only problem? The price.

At Nova Mobility, we specialise in refurbished mobility equipment and can help source particular models based on your requirements.

Get the Model You Want for Less

Buying refurbished can offer significant savings compared with purchasing the same or a comparable model brand-new.

If you've found a new mobility scooter or powerchair that interests you, let us know the make and model.

Our team can explore whether a suitable refurbished version is available, potentially allowing you to enjoy the features and comfort you're looking for at a fraction of the new retail price.

Availability and savings will vary depending on the model.

Combine Sourcing with Part Exchange

You can also use the value of your existing mobility scooter or powerchair towards a sourced refurbished replacement.

This means you could benefit from two potential savings:

  1. Paying less by choosing refurbished rather than brand-new.
  2. Reducing the remaining purchase price through part exchange.

Whether you're looking for a compact boot scooter, an 8mph road-going model or a particular powered wheelchair, we're happy to discuss what you're looking for.
