At MOTORS, we like to say that we know MOTORS!

Millions of people come to us every month to find their next car, because we keep the car search process simple. We have hundreds of thousands of used cars listed for sale by dealers nationwide, and guides, advice, tips and reviews to help buyers find the right one.

We don't just help consumers, though. For our dealer partners, we offer a unique advertising ecosystem that allows them to get their cars seen by buyers across some of the UK’s biggest car search sites: MOTORS, Cazoo, eBay, Gumtree and Parkers.

In 2024 Cazoo became part of the MOTORS family when we purchased the brand and launched the Cazoo app. So, it’s an incredibly exciting time for Cazoo as we look to transform one of the UK’s most well-known automotive brands into one of its leading automotive marketplaces.

MOTORS is also the proud sponsor of The British Motor Show and the Official Automotive Marketplace partner of Premier League club Brentford FC.
