The price you'll get depends on four key factors:
Mileage - lower mileage means higher value. A car with 30,000 miles will always attract stronger bids than the same model at 90,000.
Condition - paintwork, interior wear, and any damage all affect what dealers will pay. Be honest when you profile your car; accurate descriptions lead to accurate offers.
Age - newer cars depreciate faster in their first three years, then more slowly. Knowing where your car sits on that curve helps set realistic expectations.
Service history - a full service history (especially main dealer stamps) can add hundreds to your final offer. Dig out that booklet.
Yes, you can sell a car that still has finance on it, and it's completely legal. Here's how it works:
When you sell through our platform, the finance is settled automatically as part of the transaction. The dealer pays off the outstanding balance directly with your lender, and you receive whatever is left over.
Three things to know before you sell:
Check your settlement figure first — contact your finance provider to get an up-to-date settlement figure. This is the amount needed to clear the loan, and it changes daily as interest accrues.
Positive equity vs. negative equity — if your car is worth more than the settlement figure, you pocket the difference. If it's worth less, you'll need to cover the shortfall before the sale can complete.
PCP and HP are both covered — whether you're on a Personal Contract Purchase or Hire Purchase agreement, the process is the same. Lease agreements (PCH) are different, you don't own the car, so it can't be sold.
Yes, and it's completely legal. When you sell through Motorway, the outstanding finance balance is settled automatically as part of the transaction. The dealer pays your lender directly, and you receive whatever is left over.
A dealer auction is the fastest way to sell your car. Get a free valuation, accept an offer, and a dealer can collect as soon as the next day. Private sales can take weeks.

Over 8,000 verified dealers on the Motorway platform bid on cars every, from independent traders to franchised dealerships across the UK. Your car is auctioned to the highest bidder, so you're not relying on a single buyer.
You'll need:
V5C logbook (your vehicle registration document) - essential
MOT certificate - if the car has a valid MOT
Service history - not required, but adds value
Finance settlement letter - if the car has outstanding finance
If you've lost your V5C, apply for a replacement via the DVLA before selling. A missing logbook will reduce the offers you receive.
A full service history, especially with main dealer stamps, can add hundreds of pounds to your final offer. It gives dealers confidence in the car's condition and maintenance record. Even a partial history is better than none, so gather whatever you have before you list.
In most cases, selling online gets you a better price. Dealers offering part exchange factor in their own margin, which typically means a lower offer. With an online auction, dealers compete, which drives the price up. The trade-off is convenience: part exchange is quicker if you're buying a new car at the same time.
Yes. Motorway accepts cars of all makes, models, ages, and conditions, including high-mileage cars, older vehicles, and those with minor damage. As long as the car is accurately described, it will be auctioned to interested dealers.
