Agreement for the sale of a motor vehicle

Use this agreement when buying or selling a second-hand motor vehicle. You can use it for any motor vehicle that's intended for driving on UK roads - e.g. cars, vans, horseboxes, motorbikes or mopeds.

In this agreement, the buyer agrees to purchase the vehicle 'as seen', so the seller isn't responsible for any problems found later. However, the seller promises that the vehicle is roadworthy. The seller also confirms the mileage is correct and that there are no unpaid charges on the vehicle.

The agreement is only suitable for private sales between individuals. It's not suitable for:

  • selling vehicles as scrap;
  • selling a type of vehicle exempt from MOT testing;
  • sales of vehicles by dealers; or
  • buyers or sellers who are under 18.
