“I input all of the car's details and came to photos (which I'd already taken) but no facility to upload them from a computer. (Why isn't there?) Phoned Motorway who said to send photos by email and they'd do the rest. Did that the same day. That was 6 days ago and, despite 2 reminders, they have not got back to me so I have no idea what's going on. Has it been listed or have they simply ignored my email? I've checked the email address they gave me (the same as the one on their website) and it's correct. So I've wasted a week and now have to start over again, but elsewhere this time!”

“Went through the whole process, supplying photos, documents etc. the car was sold in auction and then…. Nothing. The dealer who purchased the car via auction never contacted me and all communication with Motorway was responded with a standard template - the same one over and over again “Thank you for letting me know. Your buyer should be in touch within 48 working hours” Again and again. Very poor, service using scripts and templates so have decided to sell privately.”

Hi, Thanks for your review, we're sorry to hear you've had a negative experience. Usually we expect buyers to make initial contact within 2 working days from the point your documents have been approved. We then expect the collection to be arranged and completed shortly thereafter. Whilst we appreciate that on occasions delays can happen for reasons beyond our control, this is absolutely not how we want to be represented and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to you as a result. We can see that you have since been speaking with a member of our Escalations Team and have confirmed that you are now in contact with the buyer.

“Completely screwed! Last December, tried to sell my Toyota Auris 1.8 Hybrid via Motorway. Initially they gave me an enticing price but after all I had been instructed to do had been done, one of their employees got involved & lowered the price 3 times in the space of 30 minutes! Got upset with the attitude of this employee so much so, that I cancelled the sale! A couple of days later, I contacted Motorway again, spoke to a more trustworthy & polite employee & agreed that they place my car on the next auction. The sale was successful & this guy managed to get me a far better price than the previous one! Everything was going smoothly until the “11th hour” when the first employee got him/herself involved again (but this time behind the scene!) & imposed a “stop” on the whole deal. When I complained vociferously with Motorway about the matter, they did apologise for the way I was treated and even offered me compensation for it - which I refused - as I didn’t want anything else to do with them but promised I would leave them negative reviews on several fora! As such, I definitely do not recommend anyone to trade with Motorway but would suggest they conduct their business elsewhere!”

“Stay well clear. Horrendous with communication. Constantly phoned them chasing for an update as to when my vehicle would be collected. Personally delivered my car to Ashford Orbital Kia only to be told that my vehicle was not sellable (3 year old car) by the obnoxious Kia salesman. He made no offer for the car and dismissed me like a piece of dirt on his shoe. I had declared ALL scratches and uploaded all clear visible photos of the scratches. Wasted 1.5 hours of my time driving there and wasted money on fuel. Disgusting service. Would never ever use again and most certainly would NOT recommend this company. Highly recommend anyone goes to Webuyanycar.com instead - now that was an incredible service. Don’t touch Motorway with a barge pole!!! They’re misleading and horrendous at communicating. And don’t touch Ashford Orbital Kia either!!”

“I sold my BMW X5 on Motorway.co.uk. The day the car was auctioned the winning dealer somehow managed to take out finance on my car without me even accepting the deal. It was a BMW dealer who I was going to purchase my next car from who advised me that there was finance on my car which was a surprise to me as I have never financed the car. The finance company was also surprised but we managed to figure out who had financed the car after I had to give them all the details about where I had advertised the car and who the winning dealer was on Motorway.co.uk On the day of collection the dealer turned up with a friend, straight away feeling up the car and as soon as I walked out to meet them they started with accuses of respray here and there despite the car being in almost perfect condition. The car had never been resprayed and had full service history from BMW Park Lane. I had been totally honest with the condition of an 8 year old car. The dealer then started moaning about how I got him onto a train all the way down from Bury and the car was advertised a gold standard but at best it's a bronze. That comment really annoyed me for which I nearly did not sell at all to him. I dropped the price by £649 which was a big mistake but this was due to the pressure from both people. Even then they wanted another £1000 off. I ended talks and walked inside telling them that this was never going to happen. They drove from behind the car to the front and stopped, they got off and came and said we will accept the price I had mistakenly agreed to. The process from there was straight forward as money was paid into my account, paperwork given. I had created my own buyer/seller receipt which we both signed, dated and timed. Although I still got better than the book value I still feel I let the car go at least £500 cheaper than I should have. This was defiantly a lesson well learned for me. If you do sell on Motorway.co.uk then make sure no matter what pathetic accuses the trader/dealer makes do not lower the price. if they walk away let them as they will most likely come back.”

Hi Usman, Thanks for your review. We’re sorry you were unhappy with your experience. In some cases a dealer may take a stocking loan against the vehicle they intend to purchase as this speeds up the buying process. They are able to cancel this loan if the sale does not go ahead as planned. Whilst we do of course appreciate that you submitted all of the required photos that were requested by our sales team, there can be often be other issues, either known to you as the seller or otherwise, that may not be easily distinguishable in the photos alone. This is why it's common practice for all buyers to request and carry out a thorough inspection at the point of collection. Buyers are expected as part of our process to supply photos in evidence of any reduction, we use these photos to assess whether or not reductions are fair, with a view to regulating buyer behaviour on our platform. In this instance the buyer has failed to provide the photos we requested so we have referred this matter to our Dealership Management team and will reiterate our expectations around conduct and producing evidence for any reductions in no uncertain terms. Please rest assured that where dealers have been found to have acted improperly in the past, Motorway have always been very quick to take any and all necessary actions, including the issuing of lifetime bans, in order to ensure a much better standard of service in the future. You’re never obligated to accept a lower price of course, as it is a voluntary transaction for all parties throughout, but the vehicle must be as described in order to achieve the agreed price. Our Sales Support team is always on hand to assist if you experience any issue with your sale, but it seems we were not made aware of any issues at the time of collection so were unable to assist. We're sorry your experience with Motorway was not more in line with our usual high standards of customer satisfaction, but ultimately we're happy that you managed to sell your car and wish you all the best going forward. Best regards Arzumand Sales Support Team

Hello, Thanks for your review, we're sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience. Our estimates are based on industry guide prices, live market data, and our previous sales history. After receiving your initial valuation online you are invited to speak with a member of the sales team to discuss any specific details regarding the history, specification, and condition of your car. Once the condition of your car has been discussed in more detail your estimated selling price is calculated. Naturally any issues discussed on this qualifying call such as stone chips, dents, scratches, or any other cosmetic or mechanical issues will need to be taken into account, this is why your estimated selling price may differ from the initial online valuation. However, this is necessary to ensure that any prospective buyers are fully aware of the condition of your car before bidding in the daily sale. This also allows for highly accurate price analysis at scale, so in most cases offers come out on or around the estimated selling price as an accurate representation of the vehicle value. However, this is absolutely not a cap on what can be achieved as we operate a blind bidding system, so although buyers are aware of the estimated selling price ahead of sale, they can't see what other buyers have offered, and although not guaranteed, where competition is high a car may exceed the estimate by any margin. All of Motorway’s buying partners can buy vehicles on finance. On the day of collected, the buyer will settle the outstanding finance directly with your finance company, and the remaining amount will be paid to you via a transfer into your nominated bank account. However, in some instances the outstanding finance on a vehicle may exceed the estimated selling price and even an offer received during the sale, this is known as negative equity, any seller that still wishes to proceed can either pay the difference to their respective finance company directly or pay the buyer to write off the sum in one go. We are more than happy to look into this for you in more detail with regards to your specific vehicle valuation but unfortunately, we’re unable to locate your vehicle profile using the information here alone. If you have any additional information then please send an email to reviews@motorway.co.uk, otherwise, we wish you all the best finding a buyer for your car elsewhere. Kind regards, Sam Sales Support Specialist

Dealer contacted me to arrange collection and viewing, Absolutely thrashed and red lined my car and decided the clutch is slipping! I told him I dont drive like that nor does anyone else, but 'Mr expert' said yes normal people don't drive like this! decided to offer me £800 less, absolutely shocking experience and left feeling violated. I dont recommend this service to anyone after my experience. Dealer also made me send him a text to confirm the clutch is slipping, I advised him saying im no mechanic and it wasnt slipping for me, oh but I will get charged as I am not buying the car after you refused my lower offer. No dealer would ever let us thrash a car the way he did on a 'test drive' I have mentioned this to motorway who where understanding and apologetic. wont be using them again”

Hello, Thanks for your review and for providing the information we required in order to identify your profile. We’re sorry that you were unhappy with your buyer. We take accusations of poor dealer conduct very seriously and have spoken to the dealer in question to provide feedback and reiterate our expectations regarding their future conduct going forward. Motorway does not tolerate any conduct by our dealership partners which causes distress or alarm to our sellers or brings our own name into disrepute. We have referred this case to our Dealership Management team, and we will also be monitoring the buyer’s future purchases for any sign of repeat issues. Where dealers have been found to have acted improperly in the past, Motorway has always been quick to impose any and all necessary sanctions, including the imposition of lifetime bans, to maintain the integrity of our platform and ensure the best possible experience for our sellers. However, unfortunately, if the buyer identifies any issues which were not listed on your selling profile, they may look to cancel the sale or adjust their offer at the point of collection to take this into account, as your offer is based on the accuracy of the information provided and advertised on your profile. In this instance, the buyer has identified a possible issue with the clutch that we were not made aware of prior to listing your vehicle. This is not to say that their appraisal was definitely correct, but being remote from the inspection we need to take the buyers feedback seriously, as generally speaking buyers will not pay to collect a vehicle only to back out of an agreed sale without a valid reason. After reaching out to you directly and presenting you with the options going forward, It is regrettable that you were no longer looking to proceed with us and we wish you all the best in selling your vehicle via other means.

“AVIOD AT ALL COSTS We tried to sell our company van (5 years old and 80,000 miles on the clock). After the ordeal of listing and proving all the information, our van was then listed with Partial Service History, even though the van is on variable servicing and tells you when it needs a service, and we provided detailed service history from the maim dealer. The winning dealer then messed us around and came down to collect at very short notice for us. The dealer was a total shark and immediately started to try an pull the van apart, ran a diagnostic check that showed up a number of historical faults that were cleared and never came back. Boasted about how they had travelled to Manchester that day and had "walked away " from a much better version of our van. He also had the usual dealer stunt of having another person check the bodywork whilst trying to distract myself. Drove the van less than 500 yards and claimed that the gearbox, driveshafts and clutch were knickered. Reported the dealer to Motorway who then claimed they had to hear the dealers side of the story. Needless to say what came back was a pack of lies including claiming that the EML light was on, the van had an Add Blue fault (no it does not) and a gear box fault. The icing on the cake was that they suspect that there was frontal collision damage!! An HPI report would prove this is not the case!!!! We have mileage records for every single mile our van has been driven and can refute all these claims, but no MOTORWAY takes the side of the car dealer and wants you to provide evidence at your cost that the van does not in fact have the "claimed" faults the car dealer claims its has. AVIOD AT ALL COSTS Use Autotrader of another method to sell you car/van”

Hi Anthony, Thank you for your review, we’re sorry that you were unhappy with your experience at the point of inspection. Unfortunately, if the buyer identifies any issues which were not listed on your selling profile, they may look to cancel the sale or adjust their offer to take this into account, as your offer is based on the accuracy of the information provided and advertised on your profile. In this instance, due to the additional issues, the buyer decided he did not wish to renegotiate and withdrew from the sale. In this instance, the buyer has identified that your vehicle had 12 fault codes which were detected on a diagnostic machine, there was a major gearbox issue which caused the gearbox not to go into third gear and the near side headlight misaligned which made the buyer suspect it was in a collision. We were not made aware of these issues prior to listing your vehicle. In terms of the re-list you requested, it would be standard practice for us to request that the seller gets any mechanical or internal issue to be looked at by a trained professional. Dealerships invest time and money inspecting vehicles for purchase, and face loss of funds on withdrawal, so we do need to take feedback about vehicle faults seriously. Once an acceptable invoice or report has been obtained, we will then re-list the car into another daily sale. This would be needed to ensure that the condition of the car is fully noted and the correct offers are made by the buyers. You’re never obligated to accept a lower price of course, as it is a voluntary transaction for all parties throughout, but the vehicle must be as described in order to achieve the agreed price. We're sorry your experience with Motorway was not more in line with our usual high standards of customer satisfaction, and we wish you all the best going forward.

Hello Thanks for your review and for bringing this incident to our attention. We’re very sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience. Having reviewed your communications with us, it is clear that you were not provided with the level of service we would expect, and we apologise for this. With standard bereavement cases, we do require written consent from the selling party to demonstrate that they have authority to sell the vehicle. In this case, however, as the appropriate individual would be onsite to perform the handover, we should in hindsight have revoked this request. We have now fed this back to the agents in question and will provide additional training to ensure a better standard of service going forward. Nevertheless, I understand that this will have been frustrating for you and I apologise for any additional distress or inconvenience caused. Please rest assured that we are currently reviewing our processes for such outlier cases as bereavement, power of attorney and others to ensure sellers are given clear guidance in advance to help things move more smoothly going forward. Again we're very sorry your experience with Motorway was not more in line with our usual high standards of customer satisfaction. Moving forward if you are still looking to proceed we would be happy to relist the vehicle with no letter of authority required.

“The journey so far.... Sold me daughters car and this complete waster turned up and said he had to reduce the price because it needed a Cam Belt change. Called my service garage who confirmed the car is fitted with a Chain not a Belt so no need to change. The dealer kept banging on about how he had to pay Motorway nearly £300 commission so it would make the car too expensive anyway. He tried to tell me that a Cam Belt Kit is typically about £350 just for the parts - even though it hasn't got one urrrr. I will update as soon as I hear back from Motorway as to the next move. Hopefully they'll surprise me. In hindsight, should have listed on eBay or AutoTrader”

Hello, Many thanks for your review, we’re sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with your buyer. Unfortunately, if the buyer identifies any issues which were not listed on your selling profile, they may look to cancel the sale or adjust their offer at the point of collection to take this into account, as your offer is based on the accuracy of the information provided and advertised on your profile. In this instance, the initial buyer confirmed that they had identified a possible issue with the timing chain/belt, as well as an oil leak and multiple stone chips on the bonnet for which they provided additional photos as evidence. With regard to the fees paid by the dealer, we apologise that these were mentioned as they do not involve the seller and are agreed upon directly between Motorway and the purchasing dealer. We have now spoken to the dealer in question to provide feedback and reiterate our expectations regarding their future conduct going forward. We take accusations related to poor dealer conduct very seriously, so please rest assured that we will be speaking with them to provide your feedback to ensure that similar issues are avoided in the future.

“Sold my car with them for £400 less than the valuation. That’s fine though, quick sale and all that. However, things got bad after that. The dealer took ages to collect the car meaning I had to buy another week of temporary insurance. When he came to collect the car, he started to make spurious claims there was wear and tear on the car and he wanted to knock another £300 off. He went home empty handed. Motorway then told me I would have to pay for a mechanics report to prove the dealer’s claims were incorrect if they were to resell my car. I made an official complaint but after 3 days, no one had got back to me. I’ve been left out of pocket. Avoid Motorway at all costs!!!”

Hello Jayne, Many thanks for your review, we're very sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience. We expect buyers to be in contact within 48 working hours from the point that your sale has been confirmed and your documentation has been verified, with collection taking place no later than 7 to 10 working days after this point, depending on your location. We are aware that, in this case, the inspection took place six working days after the documents were reviewed, which is well within our estimated time frame. In regards to any additional issues found at the point of collection, unfortunately, if the buyer identifies any issues which were not listed on your selling profile, they may look to either cancel the sale or adjust their offer at the point of collection to take this into account, this is because your offer is based on the accuracy of the information provided and advertised on your profile. In situations where additional mechanical issues are found at the point of collection, it is part of our process to request an invoice demonstrating that this has either been rectified, or is not in fact an issue, in order to prevent any future sales from falling through in a similar manner. Ultimately, this is a voluntary process for all parties throughout, so you’re never obligated to accept a lower offer or even to sell at any point. We wouldn’t obligate you to sell at a price you weren’t happy with, inasmuch as we wouldn’t force a buyer to purchase a vehicle they weren’t happy with. Nevertheless we really appreciate your feedback and we wish you all the best going forward. Kind regards, Sam Sales Support Specialist

Hi Robin, Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, we are very sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We will be more than happy to look into this for you to determine how your specific valuation was handled, but unfortunately we’re unable to locate your vehicle profile using the limited information here alone. Having said that, we do provide the following information on our website; If ownership of your vehicle was transferred to you from a family member and you have been the registered keeper for less than six months, we require either the proof of purchase or copies of both the previous and new V5C documents, showing the same family name or home address. If you are selling a vehicle within six months of buying it, we ask for proof of purchase from a dealership, as this is a short period of vehicle ownership and might suggest that the vehicle is in some way faulty. Dealerships are held to higher legal standards, with a greater right to return, which means that vehicles bought through them represent a lower overall risk. Whereas, privately purchased or auction-bought vehicles lack this purchase security - and, unfortunately, this means our buyers will not purchase them within six months of ownership. If you would like us to look into this for you then please send an email along with your vehicle registration to reviews@motorway.co.uk. Kind regards, Sam Sales Support Specialist

Hi Joanne, Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you were unhappy with your experience at the point of collection. We must stress that unlike other online car buyers, Motorway doesn’t purchase or sell your car directly, instead we source offers from dealerships across the UK based on the information you provide as a seller in order to obtain the best price. Whilst we do of course appreciate that you will have submitted all of the required photos, there can be often be other issues, either known to you as the seller or otherwise, that may not be easily distinguishable in the photos alone. This is why it's common practice for all buyers to request and carry out a thorough inspection at the point of collection in order to determine if the car is as advertised. Unfortunately, if the buyer then identifies any issues that weren’t listed on the profile then they are within their rights to adjust their offer at the point of collection to take this into account. This is because your offer is based on the accuracy of the information provided and advertised on your profile. In this instance the buyer has provided a report taken during the inspection with photographic evidence that highlight discrepancies with the paint depth indicating a previous repair. In this instance, we would be unable to re-list the car for you. We must also stress that you’re never obligated to accept a lower price of course, as it is a voluntary transaction for all parties throughout, but the vehicle must be as described in order to achieve the agreed price. We're sorry things didn't work out with Motorway this time, and wish you all the best obtaining a sale for your car, and the very best going forward. Kind regards, Tony Sales Support Specialist
