Selling Tips
How to sell your car in 2026: A complete guide
Everything UK sellers need to know — pricing, photos, platforms, and staying safe.
By CarSwipe Team ·
Selling your car in 2026 means choosing the right platform, pricing competitively, and protecting yourself from scams.
Prepare your car
Clean it inside and out, gather your V5C, service history, and MOT certificate. Small fixes can add hundreds to your sale price.
Price it right
Check comparable listings and use AI pricing tools where available. Overpricing is the number one reason cars sit unsold.
Choose where to list
CarSwipe offers free listing, verified buyers, and mobile-first reach. Traditional classifieds still work but often charge upfront.
Stay safe
Meet buyers in daylight, never share bank details before viewing, and verify payment before handing over keys.
