What Documents Do I Need To Sell My Car?

At TheCarBuyerz.com, we make selling your car in Belfast and Leeds simple and easy. So if you're ready to sell your vehicle, be sure you have all the documentation you need by entering your car's reg number on our website.

What are the essential documents I need?

• V5C log book

  This proves who owns the vehicle legally. Once you sell your car, you'll need to inform the DVLA that you're no longer the vehicle's registered keeper.

• Original photo ID

  Examples include a driver's licence, passport or Forces card.

• Proof of address dated within the last nine months

  Examples include utility bills, tenancy agreements, and recent bank or credit card statements.

• Your bank details

  That way, we can make sure you're paid promptly and securely.

• All the keys and locking wheel nut

What if I don't have the car's V5C log book?

If you can't find the V5 logbook, you can apply for a replacement online which will then be sent to you.

In the event that you've changed your name or address, you can still apply for a replacement log book by post.

Can I still sell the car if the V5C log book isn't in my name?

While it's not illegal, it is harder to sell a car without a log book. This is because it can be a sign of fraud, or that the vehicle has been stolen.

You can change the name/address registered to the log book online.

What if I bought my car using finance?

If you originally purchased your car with a finance agreement, you must provide proof that all the payments have been made in full with a finance settlement document.

But what if I want to sell the car with outstanding finance?

The great thing about selling your car to TheCarBuyerz.com is that we can work with the lender in order to settle any outstanding finance payments. Contact us for more details about how we can help.
