STEP 1 / 5

The car.

For a used car sold by one private individual to another in England or Wales: not for a sale in Scotland or Northern Ireland, and not for a sale by or to a dealer. Have the V5C log book to hand: the registration number, the make and model and the VIN are in it. The registration number is enough to start; the rest can be written in by hand on the day.

The people.

Seller and buyer, with their full names and addresses. The agreement is for a seller who is the registered keeper named in the V5C log book. DVLA needs the buyer’s name and address when the seller tells it about the sale; no licence or other ID number is ever typed here.

Private car sale agreement

PRIVATE SALE · LAW OF ENGLAND AND WALES · SALE OF GOODS ACT 1979

1The seller sells and the buyer buys the car , registration number , vehicle identification number (VIN) , as described in its V5C log book. Mileage at the handover, read by both parties together: miles. As far as the seller knows, this is the car’s true mileage, unless the seller writes otherwise here: . MOT valid until: . The parties have checked these details against the V5C log book, and the seller’s name and address against the registered keeper shown in it.

2Seller: , . Buyer: , . Both are private individuals: the seller is not selling the car in the course of a business, and the buyer does not deal in cars or in car finance.

3The price is £ . The buyer pays it in full at the handover by bank transfer, which counts as paid when the money has cleared in the account it was sent to. The seller hands over the car, its keys and the green “new keeper” slip when the whole price has been paid: payment and handover go together (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 28). The car becomes the buyer’s property when the whole price has been paid (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 17), and the seller then signs the receipt below.

4The car is handed over on (date and time) at (place) . Until the handover the car is at the seller’s risk, and from the handover at the buyer’s; but if the handover is delayed through the fault of either party, the car is at that party’s risk as regards any loss which might not have occurred but for that fault (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 20). With the car the seller hands over its keys, the green “new keeper” slip and the items in the handover record (the Schedule), which both parties fill in and initial. Anything else the parties have agreed: .

5The car must correspond with its description in clause 1 (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 13), which the seller confirms is correct.

6This is a private sale. The Consumer Rights Act 2015’s chapter on goods applies only to a contract for a trader to supply goods to a consumer (s. 3(1)), and because the seller is not selling in the course of a business, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 implies no term that the car is of satisfactory quality or fit for a particular purpose (s. 14(2), (3)). The buyer was invited to inspect and test-drive the car before signing and has had the opportunity to do so. The buyer buys the car as seen, with these faults, which the seller has disclosed: . “As seen” does not cover a car that does not match its description in clause 1. Nothing in this agreement excludes or restricts the seller’s liability, or the buyer’s remedies, for a misrepresentation, that is, an untrue statement about the car made before this agreement was signed; a term that did would have no effect except in so far as it satisfied the requirement of reasonableness, which the party relying on it would have to show (Misrepresentation Act 1967, s. 3). Supplying a car in an unroadworthy condition, which includes selling it and offering or exposing it for sale, is an offence for anyone, a private seller included. A car is unroadworthy if its use on a road in that condition would be unlawful under the regulations on brakes, steering gear or tyres, or on the construction, weight or equipment of vehicles, or would involve a danger of injury to any person. A private seller is not convicted who proves that the car was supplied for export from Great Britain, or that the seller had reasonable cause to believe it would not be used on a road in Great Britain, or would not be so used until it had been put into a condition in which it might lawfully be so used; the rule does not affect the validity of this agreement or any rights under it (Road Traffic Act 1988, s. 75). If a fault listed in this clause makes the car unroadworthy, the buyer will not use it on a road until it has been put into such a condition.

7The seller owns the car and has the right to sell it (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 12(1)), and is its registered keeper, as shown in the V5C log book. The car is free, and will remain free until it becomes the buyer’s property, from any charge or encumbrance, such as a lender’s security, not disclosed to or known by the buyer before this agreement was made, and the buyer will enjoy quiet possession of it, except so far as it may be disturbed by the owner or other person entitled to the benefit of any charge or encumbrance so disclosed or known (Sale of Goods Act 1979, s. 12(2)). These terms are implied by law, and no contract term can exclude or restrict the seller’s liability for them (Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, s. 6(1), (4)). As far as the seller knows, the car has not been stolen and has not been written off by an insurer, unless clause 6 says so.

8The seller declares that the car is not subject to any hire purchase agreement (a personal contract purchase included), conditional sale or other finance agreement, and that no loan is secured on it. Whatever is owed on the car is the seller’s debt; the buyer takes on none of it.

9The car is sold with its registration number in clause 1. A registration number stays with the car unless the registered keeper applies to take it off and put it on another vehicle or on a retention document (V778), so a private (personalised) number that has not been taken off passes to the buyer with the car.
