What do I need to part‑exchange my car?

To part‑exchange your car, make sure you have:

✔️ Your car’s V5C (log book)
✔️ A valid MOT
✔️ Service history (if available)
✔️ Settlement letter (if your car has outstanding finance)
✔️ Any spare keys and accessories (e.g. charging cables)

Important

✔️ Your car must have a valid MOT on the day of handover
✔️ Your V5C - we can't accept a car without . Missing your V5C? You’ll need to request a replacement from the DVLA - this will usually arrive within 5-7 working days

When will my part‑exchange be collected?

It depends on how you get your new car:

✔️ Home delivery – collected when your new car arrives
✔️ Collection – bring it with you when you pick up your new car

How do I know I’m getting a good price for my part-exchange?

We always give a fair valuation based on current market values of similar cars.
