What would happen if I lost my V5?
If you've lost the V5C logbook, you can apply online to get a replacement logbook sent to the address the DVLA has on record.
How do I improve the valuation?
To make the most of the valuation, you can do any of the following:
- Have your car serviced to check for any signs of wear and tear, then get any components repaired or replaced
- Thoroughly clean your car inside and out; dirt and dust can hide the true condition of your vehicle
- Have a valid MOT certificate

How do you work out valuations?
Aspects such as how old your car is, the mileage on the clock, condition of the exterior and interior, as well as whether you have service history and an up-to-date MOT all determine the valuation you get.
As one final check, we also appraise the car in person to ensure you're getting the most accurate valuation.
Will you buy a car that I have owned less than 12 months?
We'll need to see proof of purchase, paperwork including the service history, and may potentially inspect the car ourselves in our service centre before giving you an appraisal.
Can I sell on behalf of someone else?
You can, however you'll need to provide different forms of identification required to do so. We advise calling us at 01889 563 448 if you want to sell a car on behalf of someone else to talk about your options.
