Having the right documents ready makes selling quicker and helps you get the full price.
The essentials
Your V5C logbook is the most important document. You will also want both keys, the service book or digital service record, and any MOT certificates if you have them.
Nice to have
Receipts for recent work such as tyres, brakes or a cambelt change can add real value. So can the original handbook and locking wheel nut key.
Telling the DVLA
When the car is sold you need to tell the DVLA. You can do this online on GOV.UK. Any remaining full months of road tax are refunded automatically.
Outstanding finance
If there is finance on the car, let us know at the start. It can usually be settled as part of the sale.
