Suzuki Sell My Vehicle

While having a valid MOT certificate can help with the valuation, it's not essential. We buy cars with or without an MOT. However, cars with a valid MOT and full service history typically command better prices as they demonstrate the vehicle has been well-maintained. 

If your car has failed its MOT or needs work, we may still be interested, depending on the make, model, and overall condition. The best way forward is to be as transparent as possible when you initially contact us. 

Yes, absolutely. Many of the cars we buy still have outstanding finance on them. In this instance, we can settle the finance directly with your lender on your behalf as part of the purchase process. 

To help us proceed with buying your car, you'll need to provide your finance agreement details, and we'll contact the lender to get a settlement figure. If your car is worth more than the outstanding finance (known as positive equity), we'll pay you the difference. If you're in negative equity, we'll discuss your options with you.

You'll need the V5C registration document (also referred to as a logbook) in your name, a valid photo ID (driving licence or passport), and proof of address from the last three months. If available, please also bring the service history, MOT certificate, and both sets of keys. 

If you have finance on the car, you'll also need your finance agreement details to hand. If you're missing any documents, then we encourage you to contact us - we can often still proceed, but may need to make alternative arrangements.

We use industry-leading valuation tools that consider current market data, recent sales, your car's age, mileage, condition, service history, and demand. Our initial online valuation gives you an instant indication before we see the car. 

The final offer is made after our expert team physically inspects your car, checking its condition, any damage or wear, service history, and overall presentation. We aim to offer the fairest price possible based on what we could realistically sell your car for.

This all depends on the extent of the damage and the make and model of the car you’re selling. We're primarily interested in cars in good, roadworthy condition. However, for desirable makes and models, we may consider vehicles with minor damage or those requiring some repairs. The valuation would reflect any necessary work. 

For seriously damaged or non-running vehicles, we may not be able to make an offer as these fall outside our typical buying criteria. Always call us first so we can confirm if we’re able to buy the vehicle or not.

Both options have their advantages. Selling privately may potentially achieve a higher price, but it requires significant time and effort on your part - such as advertising, handling enquiries, arranging viewings, test drives with strangers, negotiating, and dealing with payment security. 

Selling your car to us is much faster and completely hassle-free. You'll receive a fair price, guaranteed payment, and complete the sale in a single visit. For many people, the convenience and peace of mind are worth more than any potential price difference.

Absolutely, you can! Our valuation service is completely free, and there's no obligation whatsoever. We'll provide an initial valuation online or over the phone, and if you bring your car in for inspection, we'll give you a final offer. 

It’s important for us to reiterate that at this stage, you're under no pressure to accept our offer. We encourage you to take time to think about it, compare it with other offers, or simply use it as a guide if you're selling privately. Many customers get valuations just to understand their car's worth.

Our initial online valuations are indicative and based on the information you provide. The final offer we make after physically inspecting your car is typically valid for 7 days, though this can vary depending on market conditions. Car values can fluctuate based on market demand, age, and mileage, so if you wait longer, we may need to revalue the vehicle. We recommend proceeding quickly once you're happy with an offer to secure the agreed price.

No, there are absolutely no fees, charges, or commissions. Unlike some online car buying services that charge admin fees or deduct costs for inspections, collection, or paperwork, we don't charge anything at all. The price we agree with you is the exact amount we'll transfer to your bank account. This is one of the key advantages of dealing directly with a local car dealership rather than some national-based options.
