Who are we?
Motovia is an independent, judgement-led car dealership founded on a simple principle: buying or selling a car should be straightforward, transparent, and confidence inspiring.
Rather than trying to sell every make and model, we focus on a carefully selected range of modern vehicles we understand properly and can stand behind. This selectivity allows us to give honest advice, prepare cars properly, and take personal responsibility for every vehicle we sell.
Our stock typically includes well specified Volkswagen Group, Volvo and Tesla models, with a particular passion and depth of knowledge in plug in hybrid (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EV). We believe these cars can represent excellent value when chosen correctly, even outside manufacturer warranty, when supported by the right preparation, explanation and comprehensive warranty cover.
We are deliberately selective about what we buy. We do not deal in insurance write offs or poorly documented cars, and we place strong emphasis on provenance, condition and demonstrable service history. Every vehicle is chosen on merit and known in detail, not simply bought, listed and sold.
Motovia exists to remove the uncertainty and wasted time that many people associate with used car buying. That means clear communication, realistic pricing, and no pressure. If a particular car isn’t right for you, we will tell you, even if it means no sale.
Viewings are by appointment only, ensuring each car is properly prepared and that you deal directly with the person responsible. We take time to explain vehicles properly, including technology and features, and we remain available after purchase. Our reputation matters more than any single transaction.
Part exchange is welcome and appraisals are handled openly and realistically. In some cases, we can also advise on alternative options such as brokerage or sale-on-behalf where this may produce a better outcome.
If you value honest advice, careful selection, and cars presented properly, you’ll feel at home with Motovia.
Customer Satisfaction
Don’t just take our word for it. We encourage you to read our reviews and hear directly from people we’ve helped, we believe trust is earned through consistency, not claims.
