Sell my car

There are a few details which can impact the valuation given to your car, for example, the condition, age, service history, number of previous owners and in some cases, the colour.

We use the information which you provide, along with our own knowledge and expectations of the vehicle to value your car.

Our valuations are valid for up to 7 days, as we understand you may need some time to think about the offer. Whist we're always confident that you'll be getting a great price from us, there is absolutely no pressure to accept this immediately.

After you've completed your online valuation, you can then book an appointment at any of our dealerships at a time that's convenient for you.

However, you don't have to do this straight away. If you decide to book an appointment a later date, the quickest way to do this is to follow the link in your valuation email, or sign into your MyCar account.

There is no obligation to sell your car when you visit for your appointment.

The conditions of the valuation are:

• You must have been the registered owner of the vehicle for a minimum of 6 months and be able to provide us with the logbook (V5c)
• Your car must have a valid MOT certificate on the day of hand over
• Your car is not an import and was first registered in the UK (mainland)
• Your car has not been used as a taxi or by a driving school
• Your car has not been in a major accident and has never been an insurance write off
• Your car has 2 sets of keys
• Where applicable the SatNav memory or Sim Card must be in the car
• Vehicle must have a spare wheel with a legal tyre or where applicable a tyre inflation kit
• All interior fixings such as the parcel shelf are included in the car
• The valuation is valid for 7 days and is based on the mileage and condition described.

Yes. You just need to contact your finance company and request a valid settlement letter. Once you have this, simply bring it to your appointment with us. We will settle the outstanding balance and deduct this from the payment we give you for your car.

If you owe more finance than the value of your car, we will still purchase the vehicle from you - you will just need to pay us the shortfall.

Important note: You must not cancel your direct debit until we have received your car and confirmed that all finance has been paid off. If you do cancel the direct debit early, you may have to pay an additional fee.

For the vehicle inspection you will need: 

• Your driving licence
• A bank statement which is addressed in your name, to your home address and dated within the last 3 months
• Vehicle Registration V5 Document with your name (the seller) on it
• The vehicle's service history records
• A valid finance settlement letter � showing the final settlement figure and finance company bank details (if applicable)
• All keys � including spares
• Any accessories related to the use of the vehicle i.e., user manual, locking wheel nut key, memory cards etc.

Your appointment should last between 30-60 minutes.
