About iAutoMotive

iAutoMotive is the UK’s first dedicated vehicle consignment platform. We sell cars on behalf of private owners at full retail price — handling collection, inspection, photography, advertising, test drives, paperwork, and payment — so sellers get thousands more than a dealer trade-in, and buyers get transparent pricing with full vehicle history.

Founded in 2025 and headquartered in London, iAutoMotive is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for finance introductions. The company is backed by Octopus Ventures and a group of angel investors with deep automotive and fintech expertise.
