Where can I buy used car engines for export from the UK?
LJ Auto Global & Salvage sells used and reconditioned engines from its UK salvage hub and exports them across Africa and Europe. Engines are inspected before dispatch, drained and crated for freight, and can be consolidated into a container alongside other parts. Send the engine code or vehicle registration for availability and a shipped price.
- Used and reconditioned engines for most UK makes
- Inspected before dispatch; reconditioned units carry a working guarantee
- Drained, crated or palletised and labelled for sea freight
- Single units for workshops and multi-engine orders for exporters
- Match the engine code, not just the model year, to confirm fitment
LJ Auto Global & Salvage supplies used and reconditioned engines for most UK makes, removed from inspected donor vehicles at our salvage hub and prepared for UK delivery or worldwide export. Every unit is checked before it leaves us and can be packed for container freight.
Engines for sale — used, tested and export-ready
Our stock moves constantly, so if the engine you need is not listed, send us the engine code, part number or vehicle registration and we will source it from our own salvage stock and supplier network. We handle single units for a workshop repair and multi-engine orders for exporters and traders alike.
Reconditioned engine or used engine?
A reconditioned engine has been stripped, cleaned and restored back towards original specification, and normally carries a working guarantee. A good used engine costs less and suits many repairs. Our used engine checklist walks through exactly what to ask before you commit, and the used vs reconditioned vs salvage guide explains the difference in full.
Popular engines we supply
We regularly handle diesel and petrol units for Ford Transit, Toyota Hilux and Corolla, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Golf and Transporter, Nissan Navara and BMW 3 Series, plus performance and JDM units — the 2JZ and 2JZ-GTE engine for sale enquiries we receive are sourced to order rather than held in stock. Tell us the vehicle and we will confirm availability.
Export packing and container loads
Engines are drained, crated or palletised and labelled for freight. If you are ordering several units, ask about container consolidation — combining an engine order into one shipment is the single biggest way to cut cost per unit. See where we ship worldwide.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about buying, selling and shipping car parts with LJ Auto.
What is a reconditioned engine?
A reconditioned engine has been stripped, cleaned, had worn components replaced and rebuilt towards its original specification, normally with a working guarantee. A used engine is inspected and resold as removed, which is why it costs less.
Do you sell used engines ready for export?
Yes. Used and reconditioned engines are drained, crated or palletised and labelled for freight, and can be consolidated with other parts into a single container for Africa or Europe.
How do I know the engine fits my vehicle?
Send us the engine code, part number or the vehicle registration. The engine code confirms the exact unit and is normally stamped on the engine and listed in the vehicle documents.
Are your used engines tested?
Engines are inspected before dispatch and we will tell you what testing has been carried out on a given unit. Reconditioned engines are restored to specification and normally carry a working guarantee.
Can I buy more than one engine at a time?
Yes. We supply single units and multi-engine trade orders, with bulk pricing and container consolidation for exporters.
