Sell my car FAQs

Road tax is non-transferrable, so you'll need to contact the DVLA to let them know that you've sold your car. They will then be able to start the process of cancelling and refunding any full months of remaining tax.

As a seller, you are not responsible for your car after it is sold. You will need to let DVLA know that you’ve sold your car, otherwise you will be liable for anything the new owner should be paying. Your main responsibility when selling is to accurately describe your car.

You will need to bring the following documents with you to complete the sale:

  • Proof of ID – either a photocard driving licence with the address matching that on the V5C or passport and proof of address dated within the past three months
  • V5C/Logbook – in the name of the person selling the car
  • MOT certificate – minimum one month’s MOT on date of handover
  • Spare keys if available
  • Service history if available
  • A copy of your finance settlement letter if you have outstanding finance to be cleared OR a clearance letter if you have recently paid off any finance on the car
  • Bank details, so we can make any payment due to you

This depends on a few factors including the age, mileage and condition of your car. Some colours are also more desirable and may retain more value. Use our valuation tool to see how much you can sell your car for.

Once you have your car’s final valuation, you'll be able to request an appointment time if your car meets our home collection criteria. The next available collection appointments are usually in two working days' time. A member of our team will call you to confirm your home collection time slot.

At your appointment, our independent collection partner will appraise your car and validate the condition matches the appraisal you provided. Funds will be released immediately if the condition is agreed. In the event of any discrepancies, a new valuation will be offered. This conversation will always be between yourself and a member of the Motorpoint team. Once a final amount has been agreed, funds for your car will be released.

We work with an independent and impartial collection specialist who will test drive and validate your appraisal for quick and easy payment.

Payment will be made into your nominated bank account in under 60 seconds.

No! You can sell your car to Motorpoint without having to buy another one from us.

Once you've received your final valuation, you can book an appointment to sell your car at your nearest store as soon as the next day (subject to appointment availability at your nearest Motorpoint store), or for home collection in two working days if your car is eligible.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept sales of cars with private plates.

If you're planning to keep your private plate or assign it to another car, you can apply to have the number removed and sell your car to us using the original plate details.

You'll need to make sure you cancel your car insurance when you sell your car, or have it transferred to your new vehicle.

You must notify the DVLA of any significant changes to your car. After you have sold your car, you need to give them the full name and address of the buyer. If these details are not updated, sellers may incur legal penalties. 

You will need to enter the details for Motorpoint Derby when prompted on the DVLA website, or completing the yellow slip you have been provided when you sell your car in store: Motorpoint Derby, Chartwell Drive, Derby, Derbyshire, DE21 6BZ 

Tell the DVLA you have sold your car.
