Cazoo sell car terms and conditions

1 Parties


1.1 Cazoo Ltd ("Cazoo”, “we", “us" or “our") operates www.cazoo.co.uk (the “Site"). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 11624245 and have our registered office at 40 Churchway, London, NW1 1LW.

1.2 You are the customer ("you" or “your") who places a booking to sell your car on the Site.

2 Your Booking


2.1 The details of your sale are set out in your booking, confirmed on the Site (your "Booking"), including your personal details as the seller, the make, model, registration, valuation price, pick up or drop off time and location for the car that you are selling to us (the “Car").

2.2 You may only place a Booking if you are selling the Car to us as a consumer. If we suspect you are selling the Car to us in a business capacity, then we may cancel your Booking.

2.3 A contract (comprising your Booking and these terms and conditions ("Terms")) is formed between you and us when you complete a booking on the Site and we accept your Booking (the “Contract”).

2.4 If we accept your Booking, we will send you an email confirmation of your Booking. Acceptance is subject to our inspection of your Car and the completion of our car history checks.

2.5 Members of our team have the right to work in a safe and respectful environment. If we consider that you are behaving in a manner that is abusive, threatening, offensive or disrespectful to any of our staff, we may terminate the Contract immediately.

2.6 If there is any conflict, inconsistency, or ambiguity between your Booking and these Terms, your Booking will take precedence.

2.7 We may change these Terms by updating the version available on the Site (for example, for legal, economic, or other business reasons).

3 Sell your Car


3.1 If you wish to sell your Car without buying a car from us, you can do this using the Sell Car tool on our Site. If you wish to part-exchange your Car, then our purchase terms and conditions apply instead.

3.2 To sell your Car to us, you must:

- 3.2.1 be the registered keeper of the Car for at least 6 months;

- 3.2.2 provide any information and documents about the Car to us when we reasonably request them;

- 3.2.3 have at least 2 weeks of valid MOT left on your Car from the date you hand over your Car to us;

- 3.2.4 ensure that the Car is not subject to any third-party rights (for example, joint ownership, or other loans secured against the Car) this excludes any outstanding finance on the Car that we have accepted; and

- 3.2.5 be selling the Car as a consumer only (and not in any business capacity).

3.3 If you wish to sell your Car with outstanding finance you must:

- 3.3.1 declare this to us when providing details of your Car;

- 3.3.2 provide accurate information about your finance provider and the settlement figure; and

- 3.3.3 you must have a valid settlement letter from your finance provider that is valid for not less than 7 days after the date of Pickup or Drop Off of your Car.

3.4 We may reject your Car if it still has outstanding finance, for any reason, including if:

-3.4.1 it is an electric car and there is outstanding finance on the battery; or

-3.4.2 the amount of outstanding finance exceeds our valuation of your Car.

3.5 We don’t have existing relationships with all car finance providers. So, if your Car has outstanding finance, we might need your help contacting your finance provider to clear the outstanding finance on your Car, both before and after you hand over your Car to us. You agree to provide any information and assistance that we reasonably request to do this. If your finance
provider refuses or otherwise fails to clear the outstanding finance on your Car, we may require you to make an additional cash payment equal to the outstanding finance amount on your Car. We will contact you if this happens.

3.6 If you select “drop off”, you will deliver the Car to the Cazoo Customer Centre specified in your Booking. If you select “pickup”, we will pick up your Car from the address specified in your Booking at the time given in your Booking.

4 Valuation


4.1 We provide an instant valuation of your Car using the online valuation service on our Site (the “Online Valuation”). The day on which the Online Valuation is generated is the Valuation Date.

4.2 All Online Valuations are subject to an admin fee which is deducted from the valuation.

4.3 You may use the Online Valuation service for personal, non-commercial purposes only. The Online Valuation is an estimate only, made using information you provide to us that we do not verify. You must not rely on the Online Valuation to make any financial or other decision.

4.4 Each Online Valuation is valid for 7 days after the date of issue and will expire at 23:59 on the 7th day. If an Online Valuation expires and you still want to sell your Car to us, you must get a new Online Valuation on our Site.

4.5 You can offer to sell your Car to us at the price set out in a valid Online Valuation. To do this, you must let us inspect the Car at Pickup or Drop Off (as applicable).

4.6 We are not required to buy the Car from you, and any adjustment we make to the Online Valuation following inspection, is solely at our discretion. We will confirm the final purchase price to you after inspection (the “Final Valuation”).

4.7 On or before inspection we may change any Online Valuation, or reject the Car, for any reason, including where:

- 4.7.1 the Car does not match the description (whether as to specification or condition) you gave; or

- 4.7.2 there is a discrepancy in the recorded mileage, legal registration, or chassis number of the Car; or

- 4.7.3 the Car has been in a major accident or is categorised as insurance category A, B, N or S, or has been subject to a total loss claim; or

- 4.7.4 we identify any other issue in a car history check on the Car; or

- 4.7.5 you do not have the right to sell the car (for example, because you are not the registered keeper); or

- 4.7.6 the Car’s V5 registration document is missing, incomplete or not in your name; or

- 4.7.7 the Car is subject to any third-party rights (for example, because it still has a finance marker on it at the point of Pickup or Drop Off or the amount of outstanding finance at the point of Pickup or Drop Off if different from the amount you provided to us); or

- 4.7.8 the Car is an imported vehicle or was not first registered in the UK; or

- 4.7.9 the Car has been used for taxi, private hire, chauffeur, or rental purposes, driving tuition or as a police vehicle or used by a local authority; or

- 4.7.10 the Car does not have a valid MOT (which must be valid for at least 14 days after the date you hand over your Car to us) or is due for a service in the next 100 miles; or

- 4.7.11 the Car’s tyres are not road legal; or

- 4.7.12 the Car has any mechanical or electrical fault (including problems with steering, transmission, clutch, gearbox, suspension, or brakes); or

- 4.7.13 the Car’s mileage is over 200,000 miles or the Car has exceeded 25,000 miles per year; or

- 4.7.14 the Car is over 15 years old;

- 4.7.15 the Car has been modified in any way; or

- 4.7.16 the Car’s valuation is £65,000 or more.

4.8 Cazoo's decision is final on whether mileage is materially different from that provided in your Booking. Any mileage difference greater than 500 miles is automatically deemed materially different for this purpose.

4.9 If the handover of the Car takes place more than 10 days after the Valuation Date, Cazoo has the right to revalue the Car.

8.3 If you select Pickup (or if you have rearranged Pickup or Drop Off less than 24 hours before the scheduled time), we will deduct the relevant fees from your Final Valuation before we pay you.

8.4 The Final Valuation includes VAT (where applicable) at the current rate chargeable in the United Kingdom on the date of sale.

8.5 From time to time, we might offer Pickup and other services at a reduced rate as part of a promotion. Any promotion is subject to availability and can be withdrawn at our discretion.
