What second-hand cars are for sale in the Robins & Day range

Our used cars range largely reflects that of our new car catalogue. We’re proud to stock thousands of second-hand models from the four franchise manufacturers we represent (Peugeot, Citroen, DS and Vauxhall) as well as a number of options from other major manufacturers as well.

You’ll find a near full manufacturer back catalogue when it comes to our franchise brands, including nearly new models from the last couple of years and all-electric options like the Peugeot e-208, Peugeot e-2008 and Citroen e-C4.

Essentially, whatever you’ve seen in our new range, there’s a very good chance we’ll sell it used too. You can use our search tool at the top of the page to narrow down your search to exactly what you’re looking for.

Why buy an approved used car?

We only sell used vehicles with manufacturer-approved status, better known as approved used cars.

In simple terms, an approved used car is the best type of used car you can buy – a car that comes with a manufacturer-backed guarantee of its quality, reliability, and safety. Approved used cars go through intense pre-sale inspection and testing to ensure their quality. They also come with a variety of guarantees and warranties (which you can read about in the next section), so you can buy safe in the knowledge you’re getting a quality motor.

Our Robins & Day Assured programme ensures all our non-franchised stock goes through the same vigorous pre-sale preparations and checks as our franchised models. That means whether you’re buying a Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Vauxhall or any other vehicle in our range, they’ve all gone through the same process to guarantee they’re up to the same high standard.

What guarantees do Robins & Day offer on approved used cars?

Alongside manufacturer approved status, we also offer a number of guarantees with every single one of our second-hand cars for sale:

• Comprehensive vehicle, mechanical and quality inspection
• A minimum 12-month Premium Class warranty
• History of ownership check, including mileage, insurance history, theft and outstanding finance
• 30-day fault return policy
• MOT warranty

The above is designed with the buyer in mind. When you buy a used car, your priorities are always going to be whether you’re buying a quality car and getting a good deal. With all cars protected by approved used status and our buying guarantees, you can move forward without needing to worry about what could go wrong.

What are my options to buy a used car from Robins & Day?

Finance options are available across virtually all our used car stock. When browsing online, you’ll see finance rates or advice stated next to the cash price on each model listing. To find out more about what finance options are available on any given vehicle, simply click on the stated finance rate.

That’ll open up our finance calculator, which you can adjust to get a breakdown of costs against both hire purchase (HP) and personal contract purchase (PCP) options. You can also adjust the contract term and your upfront deposit amount to a number that suits you, so you can see exactly what a tailored finance deal would look like for you.

Used Cars FAQs

Are used cars reliable?

Used car buying, particularly if you buy via a private seller or independent, non-approved dealer, can be a bit of a Wild West. You don’t necessarily know the true quality of the vehicle you’re buying, or whether you’re getting as good a deal as you think you are. Of course, when you buy a used car, your number one priority is to get a quality vehicle and a good deal with it.

You needn’t worry about reliability when buying with Robins & Day. Our approved used testing process means we’ve done comprehensive checks on every single second-hand car in our range to ensure each one is in excellent condition. And, in the unlikely event something does come up, you’re fully protected by a minimum 12-month warranty and our 30-day fault return policy.

What should I look out for when buying a used car?

There are all sorts of things you should be looking for when buying a used car to ensure its quality – things like documentation, mileage, signs of damage and any concerns with the general condition of the car. This is always a worry if you’re buying privately, as you have the pressure of checking these yourself – but not with us.

Our approved used pre-sale testing looks for and eliminates any of these concerns, and our guarantees are there to protect you in case something does go wrong. You’ll get all the documentation you need when buying the car, and a clear run-down of the car’s mileage and history the very first time you look at it.

Can I test drive a used car?

You’re welcome to test drive any used car in stock. Head down to your local dealership and you can arrange for either an accompanied or unaccompanied test drive, as per your needs.

Can I buy a used car online?

You can reserve any used car in our range online, which will then be held for five days. You can reserve your car in the space of just a few clicks – simply click the “Reserve Online” button on any vehicle and it won’t be sold before you’ve had a chance to see it.

How much should I pay for a second-hand car?

We’re happy to be transparent with our prices. And to help you understand whether you’re getting a good rate on your chosen vehicle, we’ve added Auto Trader Price Indicator marks to our listings.

The Auto Trader Price Indicator lets you know whether you’re paying a low, fair, or high price against current market rates via a simple colour-coded system. You’ll see many of our vehicles listed as ‘great’, ‘good’ or ‘low’ prices, meaning you can buy knowing you’re getting a fair (or better) deal.
