FAQs - Second Hand Cars for Sale in London

Should I Choose Manual Or Automatic When Buying Used Cars in London?

For most drivers, automatic used cars are an excellent choice in London. With frequent stop-start traffic and busy city roads, an automatic transmission makes driving more comfortable by eliminating the need for constant gear changes. While manual cars can still be a good choice for those who prefer greater control, an automatic is often the more convenient and practical option for everyday driving in London.

How Do I Know If a Used Car Is ULEZ Compliant?

You can verify any vehicle by entering its registration number into the Transport for London (TfL) online checker. Generally, petrol cars registered after January 2006 and diesel cars registered after September 2015 meet the criteria. Read our guide on ULEZ compliant cars.

Are your cars ULEZ compliant?

Yes, at Car Planet, our cars are ULEZ compliant, giving you peace of mind when driving in ULEZ areas. Our friendly team can help you find the right vehicle for your needs, so get in touch with us today to explore our available cars.

Is a Hybrid Or Electric Vehicle Worth Buying In London?

Hybrids are excellent for London - they automatically maximize efficiency in stop-start traffic, achieving 50-70 mpg versus 25-35 mpg in conventional cars, saving £800-1,200 annually. Pure electric vehicles work if you have home charging, offering zero-emission driving but limited 150-250 mile range. For most London drivers, hybrids represent the optimal balance.

What Should I Check When Viewing a Used Car in London?

When viewing a used car in London, check its ULEZ compliance, V5C logbook, and service history to confirm it is legal, well-maintained, and properly documented. Also verify there is no outstanding finance or previous write-offs, and carefully inspect the bodywork, tyres, and engine bay for signs of damage, leaks, or poor repairs before buying. Our guide what to look for when buying a used car covers all these areas before any vehicle is offered for sale.
