Annual mileage

What is Hire Purchase (HP)?

Hire Purchase (HP)

HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.

You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.

Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.

HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.

For this vehicle you have selected only HP is available.

All this will be explained in more detail when you speak with one of our friendly agents, once you have completed your application.

Category write-offs

A vehicle that has been in an accident will be assessed by insurance companies and assigned a category: A, B, S or N. However, we only list Cat S or N cars as Cat A and B cars are not roadworthy and safe.

Category S (formerly Category C)

The 'S' in Cat S stands for structural damage. This means the vehicle has damage to its structure/chassis, which is more than just cosmetic damage. But the vehicle can be professionally repaired, making it safe and roadworthy.

Category N (formerly Category D)

Similarly, the 'N' in Cat N stands for non-structural damage. Here, the vehicle has sustained damage, but it has not affected the structure/chassis. A Cat N car is safe to drive as the damage could be minimal/cosmetic.

Buying a written-off vehicle:

Do a full vehicle history check to identify category vehicles.
Make sure to check with the dealer if a Cat S/N vehicle has been professionally repaired.
Book a vehicle inspection and our experts will look over a Category vehicle for you.
