Safe Car Buying Guide

MotorLoom is committed to helping buyers stay safe and make confident decisions when purchasing a vehicle. Here are key safety steps to follow.

1. View the Car in Person

Always inspect the vehicle yourself before agreeing to buy it.

2. Check the Vehicle’s Documents

• V5C logbook
• MOT certificate
• Service history
• Receipts for recent work

3. Conduct a Test Drive

Ensure the car drives smoothly, brakes well, and has no unusual noises.

4. Verify the Seller’s Identity

Make sure the seller’s name and address match the V5C document.

5. Avoid Cash Transactions

Bank transfer is safer and provides a clear record of payment.

6. Watch Out for Red Flags

• Very low prices with pressure to buy quickly
• Sellers avoiding meeting in person
• Cars with missing paperwork

7. Use Trusted Platforms

MotorLoom listings are created directly by real sellers and dealers. Always report suspicious activity to support@motorloom.co.uk.
