By using motorsignet.co.uk you agree to these terms. They cover use of the site, private offers, and the sale of a vehicle to us.
Private offers
A private offer is based on the information you provide and third-party data (DVLA, DVSA, market data). It is subject to a private inspection, and the final figure is confirmed in writing before payment.
Who buys the vehicle
MotorSignet is your single point of contact throughout, from first enquiry to completion. Most vehicles are bought by MotorSignet directly. For some, we place the vehicle with a vetted dealer from our network instead, who then pays you directly for the vehicle; where that applies, we tell you before you ever receive an offer. Your name, phone number and collection details are shared with that dealer only once their offer is the one going ahead.
Sourcing for buyers
We charge private buyers a sourcing fee. The fee and payment terms are agreed with you in writing before you commit to a purchase. We explain the vehicle price and our sourcing fee separately. Trade buyers pay our agreed commission only when a sale completes, with nothing paid up front.
Adjustments
If your vehicle materially differs from what you told us (condition, finance, damage, history) we may adjust the offer at inspection. Where it matches, the price stands.
Cancellations
You are under no obligation to accept a private offer, and can withdraw at any time before the sale completes, free of charge.
Payment and title
Payment is made by bank transfer at handover, on the day, before the vehicle, keys and V5C leave you. Bring the V5C in your name and proof of identity. If the V5C is missing or not in your name, we can consider a purchase only after reviewing your ownership documents and confirming that we can proceed. Please contact us before arranging handover. If your vehicle is on finance, we settle directly with your lender on the day and pay you any balance.
Limitation of liability
We're not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of this site. Nothing limits liability for fraud or anything that cannot be limited under UK law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
