Factors that make your car easier to sell

Euro 6 compliant vehicles are easier to sell, especially in areas like London where ULEZ is enforced or other cities with Clean Air Zones. In these areas, non-compliant models have to pay daily charges.

Leather seats, alloy wheels, and modern infotainment systems make your car more appealing. These attractive extras can help sell your car faster because buyers seek cars with such features.

Newer cars are equipped with modern tech. Things like advanced safety systems, parking sensors, and touchscreens can make your car stand out. These upgrades lead to a smoother selling experience.

Neutral colours like black, grey, and blue usually sell quickly in the second-hand car market. On the other hand, unusual shades can make resale slower unless they suit the car's brand or style.

A clean, well-kept car with tidy interiors and smooth running has better chances of selling faster, even if the mileage is slightly higher. However, cars in all conditions are welcome at ExchangeMyCar.

Cars still under manufacturer warranty usually sell faster in comparison to cars that are not. These cars attract more interest as buyers feel confident knowing certain repairs are already covered.

Factors that make your car harder to sell

Cars with higher mileage are usually harder to sell due to a shorter remaining lifespan. However, ExchangeMyCar can connect you with buyers actively seeking vehicles with higher mileage.

Vehicles without a full service history or failed MOTs are suspected of issues or poor maintenance. We have partnered with buyers who can accept cars without service history or even failed MOTs.

Multiple previous owners can make a car harder to sell, since buyers aren't sure how it was driven or serviced over time. ExchangeMyCar will still help you find the best possible offers from its vast network.

Older cars, even well-maintained, often sell slowly as buyers prefer newer alternatives with modern features. Still, you can find buyers looking for older models with ExchangeMyCar.

Selling cars of less popular makes or models can be a challenge, as fewer buyers are actively searching for them. But that's where ExchangeMyCar steps in and connects you with the right buyers.

It's usually difficult to sell cars with accident history, heavy wear, or unwanted modifications. However, some of our partner buyers are highly interested in buying cars with mechanical problems.

How can I get the best price for my car?

Keep your MOT up to date, fix small issues, and have your documents and service history ready. Check your car's value with our free calculator and use ExchangeMyCar to sell quickly.

Car selling FAQs

Find all the answers about our car selling service down below

How does Exchange My Car work?

You start by entering your car's reg and mileage to get offers. Simply choose an offer and book free collection with the buyer. Finalise the deal on the collection day and get paid fast via bank transfer.

No, ExchangeMyCar's service is completely free for all sellers. You don't have to pay any fee at all.

You can sell your car through ExchangeMyCar in as little as 24 hours. However, the overall timeframe depends on the buyer's availability and when you wish to schedule the collection appointment.

To sell your car through ExchangeMyCar, you'll need the V5 logbook registered in your name, a Photo ID (driver's licence or passport), proof of address (a recent utility bill dated within the last three months), car keys (including any spares), and the service history (if applicable).

ExchangeMyCar can connect you with buyers interested in purchasing cars with mechanical issues. These buyers are skilled at repairing and restoring such cars. So, you can easily sell your car with mechanical problems by entering its reg and mileage above.

Yes, you can sell your car on finance through ExchangeMyCar. To start, please contact your finance provider to obtain a settlement figure. If the selling price exceeds the settlement figure, you will receive the surplus. However, if the selling price is lower than the settlement amount, you will need to cover the difference.

V5C is an important requirement when selling a vehicle as it proves that you're the legal owner. Additionally, the DVLA must be informed of the change of ownership, which is usually done using the V5C. If you've misplaced your V5C, you can apply for a replacement from the DVLA before proceeding with the sale.

No, you cannot sell a car without insurance in the UK. Without an appropriate insurance cover, you will not be able to transfer the ownership of your car. Not only that, it also leaves you liable for any release fees (if the vehicle gets impounded) and fines the new buyer may incur.

Yes, it is possible to sell a car without an MOT. ExchangeMyCar facilitates the sale of cars irrespective of their MOT status. However, it is important to disclose this information during the valuation process.

You can sell your car for scrap with ExchangeMyCar. Some of the partner companies offer car scrapping services all across the UK.

You can find specialist car buying companies and dealers through ExchangeMyCar and sell your car to trade. With a vast network of buyers, ExchangeMyCar aims to ensure that you are able to sell your vehicle to a trade network without any hassle.

Motorway works on an auction-based model. You receive an instant valuation and fill out a questionnaire to list your car in an auction. After the auction, you are shown the highest bid. On the other hand, at ExchangeMyCar, you can compare multiple offers instantly, and there's no need to wait for the auction to conclude.

Arnold Clark works on a traditional dealership model and buys your car directly. After getting an online valuation, you visit one of their 100+ branches to finalise the deal and deliver your car. You can use it to sell certain types of cars, and payment usually arrives within 3 days.

On the other hand, ExchangeMyCar is a comparison site. You can compare instant offers from reputable buyers and sell all cars with no exceptions from your home. No branch visits are required, and payment is quick via bank transfer right after the deal is finalised.
