Buying guides
A family car is a weekly workhorse, not a brochure
School run, weekly shop, pushchair, dog, in-laws at Christmas. The right car is the one that swallows that lot without drama. At auction you decide from the listing — photos of the actual car, the MOT history, the HPI result and our 299-point inspection — not from a test drive round the block with a salesman.

What to check before you bid
Seats that work for your lot
Five doors and five seats as a baseline. If you need seven, say so in the spec — a 7-seat MPV and a 5-seat estate are not the same car. Isofix points are listed on the vehicle page when they are fitted.
A boot you will use every week
Fold the seats in your head: pushchair plus shopping plus a wet dog. Estates and MPVs win here. The listing photos show the actual boot, not a studio packshot.
Running costs for your miles
Short urban hops often suit petrol or hybrid. Long motorway miles can still suit diesel. The listing shows fuel, gearbox, engine size and the MOT — so you can do the sums before you commit.
The listing, not the brochure
Open the car. You get the specification, photos including marks worth knowing about, MOT and mileage history, the HPI check and the 299-point inspection report.
Safety kit on the spec sheet
Airbags, sensors, child locks, ISOFIX — if it matters to you, it should be on the listing. If it is not listed, ask us before you bid.

Common questions
Straight answers
We mean cars with at least five seats — estates, MPVs, SUVs and five-door hatches that do the school run. Filter live stock by seats, or open any listing and read the spec.
Yes — by appointment. The listing already has the photos, MOT, HPI and inspection, so you are not buying blind.
