Used car finance in Newcastle

Yes, you might still be eligible for bad credit car finance in Newcastle. The amount you can borrow with a poor credit score varies by lender. It might be less than if you had good credit, and the interest rates may be higher. Providing a larger deposit or having a guarantor could increase the amount you're eligible to borrow. 

As a lender, Carmoola will look at your full financial picture. If we can’t help right now, we may be able to refer you to one of our trusted partners who might be able to. In those cases where we can’t offer finance ourselves, Carmoola will act as a credit broker.

No, every car finance application in the UK requires a credit check. You might see ads for no credit check car finance online, but here’s the deal: all regulated lenders must carry out at least a soft credit check to assess your eligibility. It won’t affect your score, but it helps make sure any offer is fair and affordable. However, we'll run a full credit check, or 'hard credit search' if you choose to sign your Carmoola agreement, which may impact your credit profile.

Possibly, being unemployed doesn’t automatically mean you won’t qualify for car finance. However, lenders like Carmoola will need to see proof of income, such as benefits or self-employment earnings.

Yes, you can get used car finance with no deposit in Newcastle, especially with HP car finance (Hire Purchase). For PCP car finance (Personal Contract Purchase), a 10% deposit is more common to reduce monthly repayments. Higher-value cars may be harder to finance with £0 upfront, but there are plenty of affordable options out there. Approval depends on the car’s make, model and price, and your eligibility. 

Applying for car finance in Newcastle is quick and fully online with Carmoola. You’ll just need to answer a few simple questions in our app. We’ll run a soft credit check to confirm your eligibility, but it won’t affect your credit score.

Good news. Private cars and motorbikes aren’t charged in Newcastle. The CAZ charges older commercial vehicles that don’t meet emissions standards, such as pre-Euro 6 diesel vans, taxis, buses, and HGVs. If you’re unsure about your vehicle, use the Government’s CAZ Checker online.
