Sell my car in Southampton

No, you don’t need to have your vehicle cleaned or minor damages fixed, although it will decrease the value of the car when you come to sell it. We advise giving it a good clean before taking photos.

Following your agreement to sell, the dealer will schedule car collection at a time that suits your schedule. They’ll then conduct a brief inspection to ensure your vehicle matches the details in your profile, typically including a look at the bodywork, interior, and mechanical aspects, sometimes with a short test drive.

To sell your car on Motorway, you’ll typically need:

• Your V5C logbook (registration document)
• A valid photo ID (e.g., driving licence or passport)
• Service history (if available)
• MOT certificate (if applicable)

Once the dealer verifies your car’s condition matches what you described, they’ll quickly arrange your free payment. You’ll receive it via online bank transfer, and usually, the funds land in your nominated account on the very same day your car is collected. You can always double-check the payment details with the dealer beforehand.

While the exact arrival time can vary slightly depending on the dealer and your bank, in most cases, the money will be in your account either before your car is driven away or within 24 hours of collection. If there’s any outstanding finance on the car, that will be settled first before the remaining balance is transferred to you.

Motorway is the easiest way to sell your vehicle. The process moves quickly. Dealers frequently make offers on the same day your car is listed, and if you accept, collection and payment are usually organized within a fast 24-72 hour window.
