Seller rating explained

More stars means a better ad with more details about the vehicle, and more details about the seller to give you, a potential buyer, more confidence by reducing the risk of buying from a private seller (please see our buying advice for more guidance)

Stars are awarded for the following 4 items:

• When a registration number is provided so that we can check the history of the car
• When the name and address of a seller are confirmed by a credit card company
• When the vehicle has at least one picture
• When the seller has provided us with the V5C (or 'logbook') document reference number
