Cazoo, Cargiant ‘putting wrecks back on the road’
17 August 2022
An undercover investigation by Channel 4’s Dispatches has found that used car dealers including Cazoo and Cargiant have been selling cars written off by insurers.
A Cat S Skoda Karoq was on sale at Cargiant, with no mention of accident damage in the advert. An advert for BMW 1 Series on sale at Cazoo did not mention accident damage, but a salvage report said airbags had been deployed in an accident. One industry expert estimates around 40k undeclared write-offs are sold each year.
The programme, ‘Dispatches: Why Is My Car So Expensive?’, aired on Monday 15 August at 8pm. It’s now available on catchup.
