This was my first time selling a car this way, so was a tad reticent. However after being lowballed by my main dealer I took the plunge. The process was simple start to finish. And the contact at moto... See more

Great transaction and good price

1st time with Motorway selling a car, uploading pictures very easy and if you make a mistake it tells you. Was initially suspicious but Motorway allayed all fears and sold my car within 2 days, Motorway communication excellent and kept me informed all the way. Buyer was also excellent and picked my car up within 2 hours, and cash in bank straight away, brilliant.

Avoid!!!

Listed a vehicle which was initially given a good valuation but simply dropped £500 as waited a few days to list. Then the sale price was even lower. Due to a recent bereavement I just wanted to sort the sale and they offered their Empathy service to assist with matters and reassured me that their bereavement specialist team would sort the matter.

The vehicle was listed and sold to a lower price but accepted. The documents were all uploaded and approved. They advised someone would be in contact to collect.

Then out of the blue the sale was cancelled. Something about a NMR discrepancy with the mileage.

Reached out to Motorway who said speak to HPI. HPI said speak to Motorway: this was their issue and they know it’s their issue but always pass customers back to HPI.

They eventually said it was a because of an issue with the mileage entered on the MOTs

There is no issue. The readings have been entered as a mix of miles and kilometres and there is no requirement for any specific unit to be used over another. Reviewing all the entries they just follow an increasing reading over the cars use of the years.

The car has now been sold back to the original dealer it was purchased from. They showed care and compassion and empathy and reviewing the HPI check that they carried out there was absolutely no markers for mileage / in fact this was marked as green.

Just avoid Motorway - they don’t care.

Kept in touch throughout the whole process of selling my car. I had never used Motorway before but would certainly consider using them again and would recommend them to others.

Motorway protocol

I recently sold my car through Motorway. This is the first time I’ve sold a car like this I normally part exchange. I am dissatisfied with the sale for the following reasons. The dealer did not scan the QR code to start the transaction with Motorway. He simply walked round the vehicle and started the engine and then said Motorway purposely inflate their prices and started to negotiate the price he was going on about his profit margin and asking me to help him out. I wanted to close the deal so foolishly I accepted a lower price. Both these actions are totally against motorways protocol. This is a completely honest review of the transaction that took place and I would advise any sellers to be cautious and not fall victim to this.

First time User what a breeze…

Must admit was dubious as first time using this type of service, but it was so simple. The app makes it easy as it directs all the photos and ensures every step is completed. Profile checked, car sold in 24hrs and then collected on the first day I was available. Motorway agent used to collect and check extremely friendly and communication was brilliant. Brilliant price gained, quick payment and stress free!!

Buyer went missing....

Motorway sold my car but the buyer never got in touch for a collection, I ended up selling my car in the next auction for hundreds of pounds less, seems a bit suspicious to me.....

Optimistic Pricing

The price that Motorway said I would receive was too optimistic compared to other potential sellers. This could be done to draw you in. I had to reduce the price twice to get a sale. Other than that, a smooth and seamless transaction.
