Nissan, founded in 1933, is one of Japan's most important car manufacturers. The Qashqai has been one of the best-selling SUVs in Europe and the UK since its launch in 2006.
London is home to over 2.6 million registered vehicles, making it one of the largest and most complex vehicle markets in Europe. The city operates two of the world's most recognised vehicle access schemes: the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ), active since 2003 in Central London, and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which since August 2023 covers the entire Greater London area — all 33 boroughs — affecting millions of vehicles daily and fundamentally reshaping the used car market across the region. Buying or selling a used vehicle in London without understanding ULEZ compliance is one of the most costly mistakes a private buyer or seller can make. Vehicles that do not meet Euro 6 standards (diesel) or Euro 4 standards (petrol) are subject to a daily ULEZ charge of £12.50 to drive anywhere within Greater London. This single regulation has caused non-compliant vehicles to lose 30–50% of their resale value in the London market, while Euro 6 diesel, full hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles command a significant premium over the national average. Before purchasing any used vehicle in London, it is essential to verify its ULEZ compliance status using the official TfL checker, confirm its MOT history and advisory notes through the DVSA, check for outstanding finance via a HPI or similar check, and verify the registered keeper details through the DVLA. Mileage discrepancy and clocking remain among the most documented forms of used car fraud in the UK market, with London and the South East accounting for a disproportionate share of reported cases. The London used car market is particularly active in premium and executive vehicles, with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Tesla and Toyota leading demand. Fleet and lease returns from central London businesses represent a significant share of available stock and require thorough history verification before purchase. At Drivium, we cross-reference every vehicle enquiry against official DVSA, DVLA and European records so you can make decisions based on verified data — not a seller's word.

Official Transport for London information on the Congestion Charge Zone covering Central London. Relevant for buyers and sellers of vehicles used for daily commuting or business in the central zone. Exempt vehicles (100% electric) benefit from significant cost savings and higher resale demand.

"I was about to buy a 2016 diesel Audi A4 from a private seller in Lewisham. The price looked good but something felt off. I ran a Drivium check before meeting the seller and it came back showing the car had outstanding finance of over £6,000 and had failed its last MOT on brake discs — neither of which was mentioned in the ad. Saved me from buying someone else's debt. I won't buy any car without checking Drivium first."

"I sold my 2020 Toyota Corolla hybrid and included the Drivium report link directly in the AutoTrader listing. The response was remarkable — I had serious enquiries within hours and sold it for the asking price within four days. Buyers told me the verified report showing clean MOT history, no finance and full ULEZ compliance gave them the confidence to commit without haggling. It paid for itself ten times over."

Private seller · Wimbledon, London · February 2025
"I found a BMW 3 Series on a German portal at a very competitive price and was considering importing it. Before spending anything on logistics, I used Drivium to check its European history. The report flagged a structural damage record from an accident in 2022 that the seller had not disclosed. I walked away immediately and found an equivalent clean UK car instead. For cross-border purchases, Drivium is not optional — it is essential."
