Auctions
Auction rules & launch status
Public bidding remains disabled while safety and operating terms are reviewed.
Free initial launch
Listing, buyer and seller auction fees are £0. Motor Trade UK does not take payment for the vehicle or hold purchase funds.
Before you bid
Bidding will require verified email and phone details. Sellers cannot bid on their own vehicles. Confirmed bids will be commitments subject to the final auction terms.
Seller declarations
Provide accurate photographs, mileage, condition, known faults and damage history. A reserve price is private. Auctions last 3, 5 or 7 days. Valid bids in the final 2 minutes extend the closing time by 2 minutes.
Buyer protections and disputes
Final consumer rights, seller obligations, cancellation and dispute procedures are awaiting approval before live bidding. Do not pay or arrange a transaction through an unlaunched auction. Vehicle descriptions are seller declarations, not independent inspections.
