Buying & Selling Car Guides

Complete guides for buying and selling used cars in the UK, from checking history to completing the sale safely.

Buying a used car in the UK involves more than agreeing a price, you need to check the service history, verify there's no outstanding finance, and confirm the V5C logbook is genuine. Selling privately can get you significantly more than a dealer part-exchange, but requires safe payment practices and completing the DVLA change-of-keeper notification correctly. Our guides walk you through both sides of the process.
