How We Prepare Our Cars

We follow a consistent preparation process so your second-hand car feels anything but second-best:

• History & identity checks (including V5C/logbook confirmation and mileage cross-checks). 

• Multi-point inspection covering brakes, tyres, suspension, fluids and electrics. Tips echoed by enthusiast communities focus on these same wear areas.

• Fresh MOT where applicable and road test prior to handover.

• Clean, sanitised interiors and paintwork enhancement for a great first impression.

• Warranty options available for added peace of mind.

Flexible Car Finance

Whether you’re rebuilding credit or just want a simple monthly payment, our lenders offer:

• HP (Hire Purchase): Fixed terms, you own the car at the end.

• PCP (Personal Contract Purchase): Lower monthly payments with options at term end.
  We’ll explain the total cost, not just the monthly figure, so you can compare deals fairly — a key step buyers often overlook. 

Part-Exchange Made Simple

Get a no-obligation valuation for your current car. We’ll consider condition, age, mileage and service history, then lock in a figure that can reduce your deposit or monthly payment.

Helpful Guides & Answers to Common Questions

• What documents should I see before buying a used car?
  Always check the V5C (logbook) matches the car’s VIN and number plate; verify details and ownership. This is the single most important document check.
   
• Can I check a car’s MOT history myself?
  Yes — UK buyers can review MOT history and advisories online; it’s a quick way to spot recurring issues and plan for future maintenance & aftersales.
   
• What should I look for on a test drive?
  Listen for unusual noises, make sure the car drives straight, test all electrics, and inspect tyres, brakes and suspension, turning to full lock helps you see more. 
   
• What if I’m buying my first car?
  Tell us your insurance goals and budget, we’ll suggest low-insurance-group options, explain running costs, and set up a clear finance illustration if needed.
   
• Can I get an independent inspection?
  Absolutely. Many buyers choose third-party inspections (e.g., AA/RAC) for extra reassurance before purchase.
