Nearly new cars for sale

A nearly new car will have one of the latest number plates and anything from a few miles to a few thousand miles on the clock. Once a car has registration plates, it’s technically used. A nearly new car should look and feel like a brand-new model, with very few signs of wear and tear.

Yes, nearly new cars can usually be bought on finance, either through a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) or an HP (Hire Purchase) agreement. PCP finance is available on the majority of our nearly new cars, with competitive finance rates and configurable terms to suit you.

There are plenty of reasons to consider buying a nearly new car. You’ll get an up-to-date car with all the latest tech – at a price that may be thousands of pounds lower than a brand-new equivalent. What’s more, whereas you might have to wait months for a brand-new car to be built and delivered, a nearly new car is already built, registered and ready to go. Many of our nearly new cars can be driven away the very same day.

A nearly new car should feel like a brand-new car, although there may be very minor wear and tear if the car has been driven a few thousand miles. You’ll get the benefit of the remaining proportion of the manufacturer’s warranty if anything goes wrong. Of course, you don’t have the choice of adding optional extras to a nearly new car, so you may need to hunt around for the perfect example if you would have chosen a few nice extras on a brand-new equivalent.

As soon as a car gains its number plates, it’s no longer considered brand-new, so it starts losing its initial value from this point. If a car is pre-registered it means the car will have already had at least one previous owner – this could be the dealership or lease company that registered it, or a private individual. The number of previous owners a car has had is displayed on its V5C registration document.
