15.5 Should the Customer’s right of possession cease they will notify the Dealer and immediately make the goods available for collection. The Dealer may, for the purposes of recovery of the Goods, enter upon any premises where they are stored or where they are reasonably thought to be stored and may repossess them.

16. Right of Lien
16.1 The Dealer shall have a general lien on any property of the Customer in its possession for all monies owing to the Dealer by the Customer on any account whatsoever.
17. Part Exchange / Vehicle Valuation
17.1 Where the Dealer agrees to allow part of the price of the Goods to be discharged by the Customer delivering a used Vehicle (s) in part exchange to the Dealer in consideration of such allowance it is hereby agreed to be given and received and such used Vehicle (s) is hereby agreed to be delivered and accepted, as part of the sale and purchase of the Goods and upon the following further conditions.
17.2 The valuation of the used Vehicle given is indicative only, based on the information the Customer has provided and may change if any of the information is incorrect. The dealer will confirm the value of the vehicle once it has been seen and fully appraised.
17.3 The Customer warrants and agrees that all information that the Customer submits in relation to the used Vehicle is accurate and correct and is in no way false or misleading. Should any information later transpire to be false, misleading, or inaccurate in any way, the valuation provided will be null and void.
17.4 If the Customer wishes to provide the Dealer with a used Vehicle in full or partial consideration for the value of the Customer’s Vehicle, the Customer must be the registered owner of the Vehicle, and the Vehicle must be free from all encumbrances. If the used Vehicle is subject to outstanding finance, clause 17.9 and 17.11 apply.
17.5 Vehicle valuations are provided by the Dealer’s partner, Manheim and are based on market activity at the time of completion of the valuation. Subsequent valuations for the same used Vehicle may return a different valuation.
17.6 In calculating the valuation of the used Vehicle, the Dealer has made the following assumptions, therefore the Customer certifies and warrants that:
1. the used Vehicle is not the subject of any hire purchase agreement, lien or other encumbrance, except (if applicable) any finance settlement detailed in clause 17.9;
2. the used Vehicle’s mileage recorded on the vehicle appraisal form is accurate and correct;
3. the Customer’s Vehicle has not sustained any serious damage or been categorised as an insurance total loss (C/D/S/N);
4. the used Vehicle was first registered as new in the UK;
5. the used Vehicle has not been used as a taxi, private hire, chauffeur or rental purposes, driving tuition or as a police vehicle or used by a local authority;
6. the used Vehicle has not been modified, either for appearance or performance.
7. the odometer reading is accurate.
8. the used Vehicle service history is as shown on the vehicle appraisal form;
9. the used Vehicle has a current MOT certificate
10. there are no noticeable problems with the used Vehicle ’s steering, transmission, clutch, gearbox, suspension, or brakes and all electrical items are functioning as expected.
11. the used Vehicle has no known major mechanical defects; or
12. the tires fitted to the used Vehicle meet the minimum legal standards.
If any of these assumptions do not apply to the Customer’s Vehicle then the valuation estimate will not be accurate and subject to a later review by the Dealer upon receipt of the Customer’s Part Exchange.
17.6 The Customer must provide the Dealer with any information regarding the Part Exchange which the Dealer may reasonably request.
17.8 The Dealer will also inspect and test-drive the Customer’s Vehicle upon receipt to confirm the Part Exchange valuation is accurate.
17.9 If The Customer’s Part Exchange has outstanding finance, the Customer must declare this to the Dealer when providing details of the Customer’s Part Exchange. The Customer must provide accurate information about the Customer’s finance provider and the settlement figure.
17.10 To use the Customer’s Part Exchange with outstanding finance to contribute towards the purchase of the Customer’s Vehicle:
17.10.1 The Customer must have a settlement letter from the Customer’s finance provider that is valid for not less than 7 days after the date of Delivery or Collection of the Customer’s Vehicle: and
17.10.2 If the amount of the outstanding finance exceeds our valuation of the Customer’s Part Exchange, the Customer must pay the Dealer the difference (the “Negative Equity Amount”), or if the Customer is buying with finance, the Customer’s deposit will need to be greater than the Negative Equity Amount.
17.11 The Dealer does not have existing relationships with all vehicle finance providers. So, if the Customer’s Part Exchange has outstanding finance, the Dealer might need the Customer’s help contacting the Customer’s finance provider to clear the outstanding finance on the Customer’s Part Exchange, both before and after the Customer’s hand over of the Customer’s Part Exchange to the Dealer. The Customer agrees to provide any information and assistance that the Dealer reasonably requests to do this. If the Customer’s finance provider refuses or otherwise fails to clear the outstanding finance on the Customer’s Part Exchange, the Dealer may require the Customer to make an additional cash payment equal to the outstanding finance amount or to return the Customer’s Vehicle to the Dealer. The Dealer will contact the Customer if this happens.
17.12 For the avoidance of doubt, the Dealer is entitled to amend any valuation for, or reject, a Part Exchange for any reason, including but not limited to circumstances where a Part Exchange:
1. has changed condition since the Dealer provided the Part Exchange valuation or the condition of the Part Exchange does not match the description given by the Customer;
2. has a discrepancy in the recorded mileage or the legal registration or chassis number;
3. has been in a major accident or is categorised as insurance category C or D, or has been subject to a total loss claim;
4. any other issue is identified by an HPI check or equivalent car history check on the Part Exchange;
5. is not The Customer’s property to dispose of or the Customer does not have the right to sell it;
6. is missing or has an incomplete V5C registration document or such documentation is not in the Customer’s name;

11. if the Customer’s Vehicle has suffered serious accident damage;
12. The Customer is not the sole owner of the Part Exchange Vehicle; or
13. has any mechanical or electrical fault (including or not limited to problems with steering, transmission, clutch, gearbox, suspension or brakes).
17.13 When handing over a Part Exchange to the Dealer, the Customer must provide the below, without which the Dealer will not accept the Part Exchange:
1. hard copy evidence of the service history;
2. book pack;
3. parcel shelf;
4. two working keys;
5. V5C registration documentation; and
6. any extras that the Dealer will need such as the locking wheel nut for the alloy wheels and any security codes associated with the Part Exchange.
17.14 If the Dealer has examined the said used vehicle prior to their confirmation and acceptance of this order, the used Vehicle shall be delivered to them in the same condition at the date of such examination (fair wear and tear excepted).
17.15 The used Vehicle shall be delivered to the Dealer on or before delivery of the Goods to be supplied by them hereunder, and the property in the said used Vehicle shall thereupon pass to the Dealer absolutely. The Customer permits and authorises the Dealer to transfer from the Customer to the Dealer the “registered keeper” title in the V5C documentation for the Part Exchange.
17.16 Without prejudice to 17.15 above, the used Vehicle shall be delivered to the Dealer within 14 days of notification to the Customer that the Goods to be supplied by the Dealer are available for Delivery.
17.15 If the Customer is keeping the Customer’s personalised number plate, the Customer must fit the original number plate to the Vehicle and the Customer must ensure the new V5C matches the registration plate that will be on the car when delivered to the Dealer. If the Customer needs to get an updated V5C the Customer will need to allow up to 2 working weeks for it to be sent to
the Customer. Otherwise, the Dealer may need to postpone the Customer’s Vehicle handover date (collection or delivery).
17.16 The Dealer does not store any Part Exchange Vehicles. If the Customer exercises the Customer’s rights under the 14-Day Money Back Guarantee or the Customer’s right of cancellation, or if the Customer exercises statutory withdrawal or cancellation rights, the Dealer is not able to return the Part Exchange and will instead refund to the Customer the monetary value of the Part
Exchange (less any appropriate deductions that the Dealer is permitted to make and less any deductions and Negative Equity Amount made to settle any outstanding finance on the Customer’s Part Exchange).
17.17 If the goods to be delivered by the Dealer, through no default on the part of the Dealer, shall not be delivered to the Customer within 30 days after the date of this order or the estimated delivery date; where that is later, the allowance on the said used vehicle shall be subject to a reduction by an amount not exceeding 2.5% for each completed period of 30 days from the date
of the expiry of the first-mentioned 30 days, to the date of delivery to the Customer of the Goods.
17.18 In the event of the non-fulfilment of any of the foregoing conditions, other than 17.17 above, the Dealer shall be discharged from any obligations to accept the said used Vehicle or to make any allowance in respect thereof, and the Customer shall discharge in cash the full price of the Goods to be supplied by the Dealer.
18. Authority to Contract

21.4 If the Customer enters into a finance agreement with their own finance provider, the Customer undertakes to register as the keeper/owner of the Vehicle as soon as possible following Delivery or Collection (as applicable) of the Vehicle.
