Sell Your UK Car in Finland
Got a car on UK plates in Helsinki, Tampere or Turku? Since Brexit, registering it means customs duty, 25.5% VAT, car tax (autovero) and katsastus. We buy it as it is, collect free anywhere in Finland and pay you on the day.

Why not just register it in Finland?
Since Brexit a UK-registered car is a non-EU import. Here is what putting it on local plates actually involves — and why most owners sell it back to the UK instead.
- A UK car is a non-EU import: 10% customs duty (unless UK-built) and 25.5% VAT.
- Autovero (car tax) is charged at first registration, based on the car's taxable value and CO2.
- Once you are resident the car must be registered; the UK registration lapses without an MOT and UK insurance.
- Right-hand drive can be registered but needs headlamp changes and is worth less in Finland.

Why UK Car Owners in Finland Choose Us
Britons working in Helsinki's tech and games companies, and Finns coming home from the UK, arrive with a car that Brexit turned into a non-EU import. Before Traficom will register it there is customs duty and 25.5% VAT, then Finland's car tax (autovero) based on the car's value and CO2, the katsastus inspection and headlamp changes for right-hand drive. For an ordinary used car the total often exceeds what the car is worth.
We buy UK-registered cars in Finland exactly as they stand — UK plates, right-hand drive, with or without an MOT — and return them to the UK trade, where they sell at full value. Free collection from Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Turku and Oulu, all export paperwork handled, payment in pounds sterling (£) before the car leaves.
Free Collection Across Finland
Finland is the far end of our Nordic run: we collect from Helsinki, Espoo, Turku and Tampere within days of confirming a date, Oulu and the north by arrangement, and the car travels by ferry and transporter through Sweden or the Baltics to the Channel. Every export document is completed by us.
Right-Hand Drive? No Problem
Finland drives on the right, so a right-hand-drive UK car is an awkward sale locally and usually goes for less than it should. In the UK it is a normal car at full value — which is why we can pay UK trade prices.
We collect UK-registered vehicles from Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere and every town in between — all paperwork handled, and you're paid in pounds sterling (£) on the day of collection. Get your free, guaranteed valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay autovero or pass katsastus before selling to you?
No. We buy the car as a UK-registered vehicle and export it, so customs, VAT, autovero, katsastus and Traficom registration are all avoided.
How do I get paid in Finland?
In pounds sterling (£) by instant bank transfer while our driver is with you — into your UK account if you have one, or a Finnish account that converts the pounds.
How quickly can you collect my car?
We can typically arrange collection within 5-7 working days of you accepting our offer, depending on your location in Europe.
Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. Our service is completely free to use and we cover all collection and administration costs — there are no fees or deductions at any point.
Is my offer final?
Every offer is subject to a short inspection when we collect the car, simply to confirm it matches the details and condition you described. If everything is as described, the offer stands.
How and when do I get paid?
You will be paid in pounds sterling (£) via a secure and instant bank transfer on the day of collection. Our driver will not leave with the vehicle until you have confirmed the funds are in your account.
Can you buy my car without an MOT or road tax?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in buying cars regardless of their MOT or tax status.
I can't find my V5C (logbook). Can you still buy my car?
Yes, in most cases we can still purchase your vehicle. We handle all the necessary DVLA paperwork to confirm ownership. Please mention this when you fill out the form.
