Securing used car finance with no deposit may sound like a pipe dream. In fact, there are lenders around who can help you to find finance for a used car whilst paying no deposit. That said, there are potential barriers to doing so.

Can you find used car finance deals with no deposit?

The short answer is – yes. Many lenders will work with you to find a no-deposit car finance deal on a used vehicle. There are many benefits to this option. You don’t have to pay a hefty lump sum upfront – typically just a modest reservation fee – and can crack on with full use of the vehicle.

However, typically only candidates with high credit scores will secure zero deposit used car finance. Individuals searching for car finance with a poor credit rating are unlikely to be offered a no deposit car finance deal, whether for a used vehicle or not.

Remember, too, that there are benefits to paying an initial deposit. Car finance deals like Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) require a deposit, which in turn reduces the size of your overall monthly repayments, as well as any interest rate attached.

By not paying an initial deposit, you have more money to pay back overall, which might also translate to a longer repayment period too.

As such, although no deposit used car finance might sound appealing, candidates with less than excellent credit ratings, or those who want more affordable repayment schemes, might want to reconsider whether it’s the most suitable option.
