eBay, the number one online marketplace for vehicle parts and accessories in the UK, has revealed the most expensive parts and accessories sold in 2025, including high-end performance engines, vintage bodywork and premium brake sets.
This year, the priciest part or accessory sold on eBay in the UK was an aluminium Jaguar E-Type bonnet, which was purchased for £18,564. The instantly recognisable E-Type bonnet surpassed the most expensive part sold on eBay in the UK in 2024 – an Audi R8 5.2-litre V10 engine that sold for £16,567.
Second place in 2025 was more bodywork, a complete Ford Transit Custom front-end (£17,180), followed by a complete BMW M5 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine (£17,048).
High-end engines made up seven of the top 10. A 5.7-litre V12 engine from a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti featured in fourth place (£14,851), with a remanufactured Toyota Landcruiser Amazon 4.5-litre diesel engine (£13,112), a Porsche 911 Targa 4S 3.0-litre engine (£12,995), a 4.4-litre Range Rover Vogue engine (£12,487), and two 4.0-litre engines for Audi RS6s (£12,483 and £12,407) completing an eclectic ensemble of engines.
While the engines powered their way through the top 10 most expensive parts, other interesting items also made the list, including a full set of ceramic disc brakes and calipers for an Audi RSQ8, selling for £13,592.
Other notable expensive items sitting outside of the top 10 were additional performance engines from high-end manufacturers – such as Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (£12,376) and Bentley (£11,757) – and other high-value listings for huge Snap-On tool stations (£12,376).
Last year demonstrated the unique, eclectic and interesting vehicle parts and accessories available on eBay. While premium powertrains remained in high-demand, vintage bodywork for a Jaguar E-Type – a motoring icon – claimed the top spot.
The top 10 products continue to show that eBay is a one-stop-shop for all UK motorists, from DIY essentials like windscreen wipers and floor mats, to complete powertrains and bodywork for some of the most iconic cars on the road.– Abir Tewari, UK Director Commercial Operations Parts & Accessories, eBay

What isn’t mentioned is that most of them probably had return cases opened against them with the reason “item defective or doesn’t work” from sellers with zero feedback.
