How the Online platform route works

Enter your registration on cazoo.co.uk, provide condition details and relevant photos, receive an offer, and arrange a collection appointment. A driver attends at the agreed time, inspects the car against your description, confirms the final figure, and completes the transaction. Payment is by bank transfer.

  • Confirm whether a site visit or appointment is required
  • Check the offer validity period and any conditions
  • Clarify payment method and timing before committing
  • Ask about any deductions or inspection adjustments

Cazoo accept a broad range of vehicles including financed cars. Condition accuracy between your online description and the physical inspection determines whether the offer holds or is adjusted. Clear, accurate description and photos reduce the chance of an adjustment at collection.

  • All makes and models
  • High mileage and older vehicles
  • Failed MOT and SORN
  • Non-runners and fault warning lights
  • Partial or no service history
  • Body damage and wear

When each option suits

A doorstep sale suits when

  • You want collection from home without travelling to a branch
  • The car has faults, failed MOT, is a non-runner or SORN
  • You need certainty of payment on the same day
  • You are in Hexham, the Tyne Valley or surrounding areas
  • You have already had a dealer valuation and want to compare
  • You want DVLA paperwork handled at point of collection

Cazoo suits when

Cazoo offers a convenient home collection route for sellers comfortable with an online-managed process and a national platform. For Hexham and Northumberland sellers, comparing a national online buyer against a local independent on price and response speed is straightforward and worth doing before committing.

National doorstep buying vs local doorstep buying

Cazoo and We Buy Cars Hexham both collect from your home address. The differences are in local knowledge and response speed. A national platform prices your car against national data. A local buyer knows what the same car sells for in Northumberland specifically, which can matter for regional demand variations. Local buyers also tend to move faster: a decision and collection can often happen within hours rather than days. For sellers in Hexham, comparing both offers costs nothing and takes minutes.

Common questions

Do you collect from my home address?
Yes. We collect from your address across Hexham, the Tyne Valley and surrounding areas. No branch visit or appointment away from home is needed.
Do you buy non-runners and failed MOT vehicles?
Yes. Failed MOTs, non-runners, SORN vehicles, warning lights and cosmetic damage are all assessed. We give you a clear price before committing.
How quickly do you pay?
Payment is by bank transfer confirmed at your address in most cases. Funds are verified before we leave.
Are there admin fees or deductions?
No admin deductions on straightforward purchases. If you use our Sale-or-Return route, all terms are agreed before we start.
What paperwork do I need?
V5C logbook and one photo ID. Service history helps with valuation but is not essential. We complete the DVLA steps at collection.
What is the difference between your valuation and a dealer part exchange?
A dealer part exchange values your car as a cost to offset against a new purchase. A direct cash offer values it as a standalone transaction. The two figures can differ significantly for the same car.
