Strong demand for remanufactured major units across all segments - 04.12.2025

Ivor Searle is continuing to see strong demand for its remanufactured engines, gearboxes and turbos in both the car and LCV segments.  IVS_PMF_December_2025.pngThe latest issue of Professional Motor Factor magazine reports on the company's growth in 2025.

Supplying over 1,500 motor factors across the UK and a growing distributor base in the EU, robust demand has seen the leading remanufacturer complete another record year of trading, which saw a further 8% increase in turnover.
 
Whilst the price advantage of quality remanufactured products in comparison to brand new OEM remains a key selling point for factors, issues such as availability, warranty and technical support are arguably just as important when it comes to meeting the needs of workshops, as David Eszenyi, Ivor Searle’s Commercial Director, explains:

“Market demand for our remanufactured major units is consistently strong across all segments and we’re focused on meeting this demand through our ‘off the shelf’ production. This means we can offer petrol and diesel engines for virtually all current popular car and LCV models for next day delivery."
 
"Alongside robust growth in our volume units, demand for Ivor Searle's customer own unit (COU) engine remanufacturing is also increasing, particularly for late model engines and hybrid units.  With a 15 -day turnaround time, COU solves the availability challenge for factors by providing a solution for their workshop customers when an exchange unit is not immediately available.  The process involves collection of the original failed engine from the workshop and returning it to our factory, where it is remanufactured in accordance to BSI AU 257:2002, the British Standard Automobile Series Code of Practice for the remanufacturing of internal combustion engines. All Ivor Searle engines have a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.”
 
Ivor Searle offers an all makes range of remanufactured car and LCV petrol and diesel engines, as well as cylinder heads, gearboxes and turbochargers that cover over 90% of the UK vehicle parc.
