Am I eligible for car finance?

We want to help those who have been declined by other lenders in the past and ensure you have access to the credit you need to purchase a new car.

In order to be considered for a car loan with us you must meet the below criteria:

  • Aged 25 or over
  • Lived in the UK for 3 years or more
  • Have £1500 income or more going into a bank account with your name on
  • Have a full driving licence
  • Not in an active bankruptcy, IVA or debt relief order

If you meet the above criteria, we can consider you for a car loan and you should apply today!

What is the vehicle criteria?

As a responsible lender we want to make sure that the vehicle is right for you and your circumstances so we have the below vehicle criteria in place:

  • The maximum lend is £15,000 (subject to affordability)
  • The maximum agreement length is 5 years / 60 months
  • The vehicle must not be older than 9 years at the beginning of the agreement (36 months)
  • Max mileage of 110,000 at the start of a 36-month agreement.
  • Max mileage of 100,000 at the start of a 48-month agreement.
  • Max mileage of 90,000 at the start of a 48+ month agreement.

We would suggest you think about the costs linked with your choice of vehicle such as fuel, insurance, tax, MOT, servicing and maintenance costs, as these will all have an impact on the affordability of the vehicle. The finance is secured on the vehicle, so if you don’t keep up with the monthly repayments, Go Car Credit can repossess the car.
