He’s been advising friends and family on their next used car purchase for as long as he can remember – handy experience for his current role in charge of content at MOTORS. As a father of two young kids who covers a lot of miles, he tends to value safety, practicality and comfort above all else, so he has a soft spot for massive SUVs and premium estate cars.","sameAs":["https://www.instagram.com/steveecars","https://x.com/writingsteven"],"url":"https://news.motors.co.uk/author/steve/"}]}</script>  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MOTORS » 10 Signs You Should Sell a Car Comments Feed" href="https://news.motors.co.uk/signs-you-should-sell-a-car/feed/" /> <style id='classic-theme-styles-inline-css' type='text/css'> /*!

sell your car or not can be difficult and with lots of factors to consider. When deciding whether to sell your car, it’s important to weigh up the financial aspects and potential lifestyle changes that may come into play. You need to consider factors such as the cost of upkeep, your transportation needs, and any upcoming life changes that could impact your decision.</p> <p>In this guide, we’ll be taking a look at some of the key signs which suggest it might be time to sell your car to help you make a well-informed choice.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="heading layout-nobackground option-titleside-left" > <div class="container"> <div class="heading__inner"> <div class="heading__inner__title"> <h2>Signs you should sell a car</h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>It’s regularly breaking down</h3> <p>Any car you have will likely require you to carry out repairs over its lifetime. However, if you notice that your car is requiring more repairs more frequently then it could be time to consider selling your car.</p> <p>You should assess the financial feasibility of continuing to invest in repairs versus selling the car as the money you save at the garage could be used towards purchasing a new or <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/">used car</a>. As a guideline, if the cost of repairs outweighs the <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/sell-my-car/car-valuation/">value of your car,</a> it may be time to consider your options.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>It’s costly to run</h3> <p>As cars age, they can become more costly to run and maintain. Older cars will have experienced more wear and tear over time and consequently will likely require more repairs over time. Additionally, the process of repairing the car may become more complex and sourcing the parts may be more difficult, particularly if it is a much older model.</p> <p>In terms of other running costs, you may also find that fuel efficiency decreases. However, this would have more to do with how many miles you have driven and the condition of the engine components rather than the age of the car itself. Linking to the previous point, if you find yourself having to pay for costly repairs to improve the performance and efficiency of your car, then selling your car or trading it in for a newer one might be more cost-effective.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>It no longer meets your needs</h3> <p>You may find that your current car isn’t meeting your needs as it once was. As our lives and circumstances change, choosing a <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/best-cars-to-match-your-lifestyle/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/best-cars-to-match-your-lifestyle/">car which matches your lifestyle</a> is crucial. For example, if your family is growing, then a three-door <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/bodystyle/hatchback/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/bodystyle/hatchback/">hatchback</a> is not likely to be suitable nor is having a <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-large-family-cars/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-large-family-cars/">large family car</a> if all your children have flown the nest.</p> <p>Similarly, if you have just moved house then having a car which suits your environment is something you should consider. For example, if you are moving from the countryside to the city, having a car which is not <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-ultra-low-emissions-zone/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-ultra-low-emissions-zone/">ULEZ-compliant</a> and exempt from the <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-cars-for-avoiding-the-congestion-charge/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-cars-for-avoiding-the-congestion-charge/">congestion charge</a> could end up costing you a lot in running costs. Instead, <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/should-you-buy-an-electric-car" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/should-you-buy-an-electric-car">switching to an electric car</a> or choosing a more <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-eco-friendly-cars/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-best-eco-friendly-cars/">eco-friendly model</a> could be a more sensible option.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="image-block layout-nobackground option-image_size-one option-border_radius option-background_container option-captions " > <div class="image-block-container container"> <div class="images" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/lady-and-baby-in-a-car.jpg');"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>You’re concerned about safety</h3> <p>If you have safety concerns about your current car then this is slightly more serious and selling it might be the safest option. This is particularly true if your car is prone to breaking down or if other safety issues have been flagged during an MOT or service.</p> <p>Newer cars on the market often come with a whole host of <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-safety-features-explained-all-you-need-to-know/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-safety-features-explained-all-you-need-to-know/">safety features</a> such as Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). These features not only make a car safer to drive but also make for a much more pleasurable driving experience. If your current car lacks these features, then upgrading could be a good choice.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>It’s not environmentally friendly</h3> <p>As technology has evolved and improved, newer cars are generally rated better than older cars in terms of <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-guide-to-euro-emissions-standards/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-guide-to-euro-emissions-standards/">Euro emissions standards</a>. This means that they emit less harmful toxins and pollutants such as nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC). If your <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/car-tax/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/car-tax/">car tax</a> is particularly high, then this is a good indicator that the car you drive is not as environmentally friendly as it could be.</p> <p>If you are looking to save money and switch to a more environmentally friendly alternative, then a <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/fuel/hybrid---petrol-electric/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/fuel/hybrid---petrol-electric/">used hybrid</a> or <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/fuel/full-electric/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/fuel/full-electric/">full electric car</a> could be a good option for you. <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/road-tax-on-electric-and-hybrid-cars/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/road-tax-on-electric-and-hybrid-cars/">Road tax for hybrid and electric cars</a> is a lot cheaper and free if you drive a full electric car.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>Rising household income</h3> <p>If you have recently had a change in financial circumstances, then you may be considering upgrading your car. Upgrading your vehicle can not only provide you with improved safety features and technology but also enhance your overall driving experience.</p> <p>Before making a decision, you should carefully evaluate your budget and research different options to find a car that suits your needs and preferences. <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/">Used cars</a> are substantially cheaper to buy compared to new cars and you may find a lot more choice within your <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/best-cars/price/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/best-cars/price/">price range</a>. Alternatively, <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/finance/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/finance/">getting a car on finance</a> can be a good way to spread the cost of a new or used vehicle as it gives you flexibility. You can read more about <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-guide-to-getting-a-used-car-on-finance/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/a-guide-to-getting-a-used-car-on-finance/">getting a used car on finance</a> in our handy guide.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>The mileage is high</h3> <p>When considering a car’s reliability and efficiency, both age and mileage play crucial roles. High-mileage cars can often be prone to more frequent breakdowns and maintenance needs. However, the way a car has been maintained over time can be just as important as its mileage and properly maintained cars can still be efficient despite high mileage.</p> <p>If your current car has both high mileage and has not been well maintained over the years, it may be time to consider selling it before facing expensive repair bills. Understanding the balance between <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/used-car-mileage-vs-age-which-matters-more/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/used-car-mileage-vs-age-which-matters-more/">age vs. mileage</a> can help you make more informed decisions before choosing to sell or keep your car.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="image-block layout-nobackground option-image_size-one option-border_radius option-background_container option-captions " > <div class="image-block-container container"> <div class="images" style="background-image: url('https://news.motors.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/car-mileage-dashboard-shutterstock.jpg');"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>You have concerns about depreciation</h3> <p><a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-depreciation-everything-you-need-to-know/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-depreciation-everything-you-need-to-know/">Car depreciation</a> is the difference between what you paid for the car compared to what it is worth when it comes to selling it and for some people this is a factor when it comes to choosing to sell their car.</p> <p>Depreciation is influenced by a lot of things including brand and model, mileage and overall condition. On average, in the first three years, you can expect a new car to lose up to 60% of its value and after that, it will depreciate at a slower rate. Therefore, if your car is new, it might not be the most financially viable option to sell it within the first few years of owning it.</p> <p>However, car depreciation shouldn’t be the only factor that you take into consideration. Ultimately you need to weigh other aspects such as maintenance costs and insurance premiums. If the car is slightly older and you find it is costing you a lot to run, then selling it could be a viable option.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>Your insurance is too high</h3> <p>The costs of owning a car are more than just the car itself. There are lots of other cost factors to consider including fuel, servicing and maintenance, MOTs, car tax and of course, <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-insurance-the-facts/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-insurance-the-facts/">car insurance</a>. The cost of your car insurance premium is reliant on a lot of factors and can change depending on your circumstances. For example, changing addresses may cause your insurance premiums to increase.</p> <p>If your car insurance premiums have increased to an unmanageable amount, it may be time to sell your car or trade it in for a <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-cheapest-cars-that-are-affordable-to-run/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/the-cheapest-cars-that-are-affordable-to-run/">cheaper car that is more affordable to run</a> and one that sits in a different <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-insurance-the-facts/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/car-insurance-the-facts/">car insurance group</a>.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h3>You can’t afford the payments</h3> <p>If you have purchased a <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/finance/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/used-cars/finance/">car on finance</a> and your financial circumstances change, you may find that you are unable to pay the monthly repayments. In the first instance, you should speak with your lender to see if they can offer you any solutions. In some circumstances, they may be able to request a deferral or refinance your car loan for a more affordable option. Alternatively, you may be able to <a href="https://www.motors.co.uk/sell-my-car/part-exchange/" data-gc-link="https://www.motors.co.uk/sell-my-car/part-exchange/">part-exchange</a> it for a cheaper car.</p> <p>If this is not possible and you have tried all other options, it may be time to consider returning the car through what is known as a voluntary termination. This can be done if you have paid 50% of the <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/jargon-buster/outstanding-balance/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/jargon-buster/outstanding-balance/">outstanding balance</a>. Alternatively, you may have to return your car through a voluntary surrender which means returning the car whilst you still have an outstanding balance. However, this will have a negative effect on your <a href="https://news.motors.co.uk/jargon-buster/credit-score/" data-gc-link="https://news.motors.co.uk/jargon-buster/credit-score/">credit score</a>.</p> </div>  </div> </div> <div class="main-content option-align-left option-button_or_link-button layout-nobackground" > <div class="container"> <div class="text "> <h2>When is the best time to sell a car?</h2> <p>When it comes to the best time to sell your car, this question has many answers and will depend on several factors. Some industry experts suggest that the best time to sell a car is in the spring or summer, whereas others suggest the first half of the year is more ideal.</p> <p>Some other considerations to keep in mind include the age and condition of the car, current market demand, and your own financial situation.
