Motorway

Motorway is the UK's fastest-growing used car marketplace, connecting private sellers with a network of more than 8,000 verified car dealers through a daily online auction. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London and Brighton, the platform provides instant AI-assisted vehicle valuations, a mobile app that builds a sale-ready car profile, nationwide home collection, same-day payment (Motorway Pay), transport (Motorway Move), and outstanding-finance handling. Over one million people have used Motorway to sell a car. It is a consumer and dealer (B2C/B2B) marketplace rather than a public API provider: no developer portal, OpenAPI, or public API surface is published as of this enrichment pass. Backed by Index Ventures, ICONIQ Growth, BMW i Ventures and LocalGlobe.

Motorway is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Marketplace, Automotive, Used Cars, and Car Auction.

Motorway’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 5 more developer resources.
