Sell my car in London

Selling your car in London with Bristol Street Motors is simple. Enter your reg online to get a free instant valuation which is valid for seven days. You'll then need to visit your local dealership so that we can confirm the condition of your car is as described. We'll also process all paperwork and payment during your visit.

There's a few things you'll need to bring along to your dealership appointment. These include:

• Your driving licence
• A bank statement addressed in your name to your current home address, dated within the last three months
• Vehicle Registration V5C Document with your name (the seller) on it
• Service history records
• Valid finance settlement letter showing final settlement figure (if applicable)
• All keys, including spares
• Any accessories related to the use of the vehicle i.e. user manual, locking wheel nut key, memory cards etc

Selling your car is a big deal and it's important to get it right. Always ensure that your car is in the condition described or your valuation can change. It's also crucial that you have all the required paperwork for the sale to proceed.

When you sell your car, you'll need to give the V5C to the dealership. It's important that you fill in the section titled 'selling, transferring or part exchanging this vehicle to a motor trader'.

Yes - you can. If your car was bought using a finance package that's still ongoing, you can still sell your car to us. All you'll need to do is provide a valid finance settlement letter, detailing the final figure and your finance company's bank details.

You should always cancel your insurance as soon as possible after selling your car. If not, you could be responsible for any claims or accidents associated with the vehicle later on. You can, however, keep your private number plate if you wish. For this, you'll need to fill in a V778 form and send it to the DVLA.

No. Currently, there is no tax for selling your car in the UK. Car sales are exempt from paying Capital Gains Tax (CGT), with this only applying to:

• Taxis
• Vans, commercial vehicles and lorries
• Single-seat sports cars
• Racing cars

Yes, you can! There's no obligation to buy a new car after selling your old one to us. You can either take the money or use our Part-Exchange service and put it towards your new car. The choice is yours!

If you have a private number plate, you'll need to complete a V778 form to keep it. You'll then have up to 10 years to transfer it over to your new vehicle - which is more than enough time to help you decide!
