Buying guides

An SUV is a seating position and a boot — not a fashion

Crossovers, family SUVs, seven-seat barges: they are not the same vehicle. You want the one that matches your roads, your parking and your weekly load. We list the body style, seats, fuel, gearbox and the inspection on every car, so you can tell a soft-roader from something that will actually clear a rutted track.

Before you bid

What to check on an SUV listing

What kind of SUV it actually is

A Qashqai-sized crossover, a CR-V family SUV and a seven-seat tank drive and park differently. Body style and seats are on the listing. If you need a third row, it has to say so.

Ride height vs UK lanes

You buy an SUV for the view out and the clearance, not for a dune. Check tyre size, two-wheel or four-wheel drive, and whether the inspection flags worn bushes, boots or leaks — those show up first on taller cars.

Boot with the seats up

The school run is seats up. Measure the weekly shop against the photos. Fold-flat second rows are useful; a tiny boot with five people in is not.

Weight and fuel

SUVs are heavier. Petrol, diesel, hybrid or electric — the listing is honest about which. Match it to your mileage, not to a magazine test.

Undercarriage and tyres on the report

Our 299-point inspection covers tyres, brakes, steering and suspension. On an SUV those parts work harder. Read the report before you raise a bid.

Common questions

Straight answers

Both, when we have them. The listing states body style, driven wheels and seats. If you need a proper 4x4, filter the stock and open the spec — do not guess from the badge.
Often, because they are heavier. Fuel, tyres and insurance sit on you after handover. The listing gives engine, fuel and gearbox so you can price that in before you bid.
14 days to live with the car, then send it back if it is not right, plus a 90-day RAC warranty with breakdown assistance and your Consumer Rights Act rights.
