What Is a Trade Sale Vehicle?

Trade sale vehicles are typically cars that fall outside the criteria for our standard retail stock. This may include vehicles that are:

  • Over 15 years old

  • Higher mileage, often above 150,000 miles

  • Older part exchange vehicles

  • Cars with cosmetic age-related wear

  • Vehicles better suited to budget motoring or trade buyers

Rather than sending these vehicles directly to auction, we offer selected trade sale cars to the public at reduced prices, giving customers access to affordable motoring opportunities.

These vehicles are sold as seen and are priced accordingly, making them ideal for buyers looking for lower-cost transport without the price point of fully prepared retail stock.

Honest & Transparent Budget Motoring

At KLS Automotive, transparency is extremely important to us. We believe customers should have clear information about any vehicle they are considering, especially when buying older or higher mileage cars.

That is why we take a straightforward approach to our trade sale stock.

Before sale, we carry out:

A pre-delivery inspection check
Basic roadworthiness checks
MOT verification
Honest discussions about vehicle condition and age-related wear

This allows customers to make informed decisions while still benefiting from competitive pricing.

As an independent dealership, our goal is to provide value and honesty rather than pressure selling or unrealistic promises.

Valid MOT & PDI Checks for Added Peace of Mind

While trade sale vehicles are sold as seen, we still believe customers should receive a level of reassurance before driving away.

That is why our trade sale vehicles include:

A valid MOT at point of sale
A completed PDI check prior to collection
Clear communication about vehicle condition
Honest guidance from our team

This balanced approach helps customers access lower-cost vehicles while maintaining trust and transparency throughout the buying process.

For MOT guidance and roadworthiness information, customers can also visit the official DVSA MOT guidance and vehicle maintenance advice from GOV.UK.

Why Some Vehicles Become Trade Sale Stock

Not every vehicle is suitable for our main retail forecourt, even if it still offers value as a usable car.

Some vehicles may become trade sale stock because they:

Exceed our preferred retail age range
Have higher mileage
Show cosmetic wear consistent with age
Would require preparation costs beyond their market value
Are more suited to budget buyers or trade customers

Rather than over-preparing older stock and inflating pricing, we prefer to offer selected vehicles honestly and transparently at realistic price points.

This approach gives buyers greater flexibility and more affordable choices.

A More Personal Alternative to Auction Buying

Many customers consider auctions when searching for lower-cost vehicles, but traditional auctions can often feel rushed and uncertain.

At KLS Automotive, customers benefit from:

  • The ability to inspect vehicles properly

  • Speaking directly with our team

  • Viewing cars in a relaxed environment

  • More transparency than many auction environments

  • Local support from an established dealership

We believe this creates a more comfortable and informed buying experience for customers searching for affordable vehicles.
