We built Autoideal to make buying and selling cars more transparent, more trustworthy and more convenient.
Reach buyers across the UK
Autoideal connects buyers and sellers across the UK. Your listing is visible to everyone browsing the site – dealers and private buyers alike.
Verified dealers you can trust
Every dealer on Autoideal goes through a formal application and verification process. We check company registration, identity and trading status before granting access. Look for the Verified Dealer badge on any listing.
Vehicle history checks
Before a car goes live we check it against national vehicle records for stolen markers, outstanding finance and write-off history. The result is shown on every listing, including when a check could not be completed.
Full transparency on every listing
MOT history, service records, number of previous owners, and vehicle specifications are all displayed clearly. No misleading information, no hidden history.
Warranty cover you can add
Add warranty cover to any car you buy on Autoideal. Three levels of cover, with repairs at VAT-registered garages across the UK, paid straight to the garage.
Nationwide delivery to your door
Don't let location stop you finding the right car. We arrange delivery of any vehicle from any seller or dealer on the platform - anywhere in the UK.
Sell your part exchange
Trading in your current car? List it on Autoideal and deal directly with buyers, instead of accepting a single part-exchange offer.
Insurance, coming soon
We are building a way to arrange cover in the same place you buy the car. It is not live yet - register your interest and we will come back to you when it opens.
Any business can claim to be a dealer. On Autoideal, the Verified Dealer badge means something. Before a dealer can list a single vehicle, our team checks:
