What do I need to have ready on the day of sale?

When arranging your vehicle collection or drop-off appointment, it's important to prepare the necessary documents in advance. This ensures a smooth and efficient process on the day of the handover. Here's a checklist of the items you'll need to have ready:

If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle:

• V5C vehicle registration document (logbook).
• MOT certificate (if applicable).
• All spare keys for your car.
• Photo ID (driving licence or passport).
• Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement, council tax statement) matching the address on the V5C document.
• Authority from your finance company (if applicable).
• Service record book, car handbook, locking wheel nuts (if available), radio and key codes (if applicable).
• Your UK bank details.
• Sufficient fuel (fuel light should not be on).
• If your vehicle is VAT qualifying: the VAT invoice.

If you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle, in addition to the above, you'll also need:

• Written authorisation from the registered keeper confirming your ability to sell the car.
• Photo ID (driving licence or passport) of the registered keeper.
