Buying guide

What to know before you bid

1
Check the Full Inspection Report
Before bidding, always download and review the inspection report for each car. This covers bodywork, interior, mechanical condition and any cosmetic or structural damage. Look for the condition grade and damage map so you know exactly what to expect when you collect or receive your car in Leeds. Inspection reports help you avoid surprises and make a confident, informed decision.
2
Understand Fees and Payment
SecondCar charges a 5% buyer’s premium (minimum £250), with VAT at 20% on the fees only. There’s no VAT on the car price for margin-scheme vehicles. Payment is made by instant bank transfer via Open Banking within 24 hours of invoicing. Make sure you’re clear on the total cost before you bid, including optional UK delivery to Leeds.
3
Plan for Collection or Delivery
After payment is confirmed, you can choose to collect your car or have it delivered to your home or business in Leeds. UK delivery is available for all lots, and we handle the V5C logbook transfer. If collecting, bring valid ID and check the car matches the inspection report. For delivery, confirm access and handover arrangements in advance.
4
Review MOT, DVLA and HPI Data
Every listing includes free DVLA and MOT history, plus an HPI-style check covering finance, write-off and stolen markers. Use this information to check MOT expiry, past advisories and to ensure the car isn’t subject to outstanding finance or insurance claims. This adds peace of mind when buying remotely from Leeds.
