Upcoming MoD and military surplus sales

Sales listed by Witham and Ramco, soonest first. Times are UK time. You bid on the auctioneer's site.

The Ministry of Defence releases surplus through appointed auctioneers, chiefly Witham Specialist Vehicles for vehicles, plant and equipment. Browse current military surplus lots below. Most ex-MoD vehicles are listed in the vehicles category rather than here, so use the ex-MoD vehicles page to see them together.

What ex-MoD and military surplus sells for

The middle half of 2,008 military surplus lots that sold at UK auction since June 2026 went for between £21 and £128, with a median of £51. These are the last bids we recorded before each lot closed, before buyer's premium and VAT.

How MoD surplus is sold

The Ministry of Defence does not sell surplus to the public itself. It uses appointed auctioneers. Witham Specialist Vehicles runs the MoD's online disposal sales at bid.mod-sales.com: Land Rovers, specialist vehicles, trailers, plant, generators, tools and equipment, in a new sale each month with lots added daily. Ramco holds separate military surplus sales of clothing, footwear, accessories and hardware.

Both sell in batches, so the number of live lots rises and falls. When one sale closes there can be a gap of days before the next one opens. The sale dates above show what is coming, and an alert will tell you when matching lots are listed.

Most lots are sold plus VAT at 20% and a buyer's premium, and most are collection only. Ex-military vehicles are often sold without a V5C, so check what paperwork a listing includes. Our guide to buying ex-MoD vehicles covers registration, and the true-cost calculator adds the fees up before you bid.
