AVOID Edinburgh Branch - 0/5 experience

Bought a car from Motorpoint Edinburgh and collected on 20th June after being promised, in return for taking a £949 extended warranty, that the damaged front bumper would be repaired, I’d receive Peugeot branded mats and a full tank of fuel.

The bumper wasn’t repaired before collection and I had to repeatedly chase the dealership for weeks before it was eventually arranged, after being told it couldn’t be resprayed on collection this was eventually done. Communication throughout was appalling. The car was poorly valeted on collection and the courtesy car I had during repairs was filthy. On collection after repair, nobody even showed me the completed work I was just handed keys and left.

The promised Peugeot mats were also never ordered despite repeated enquiries. I still await these despite collecting my car on 20th June, it’s now 12th August.

The after-sales care has been extremely extremely poor, with emails being ignored and constant chasing required. I was eventually refunded the £949 warranty cost after phoning head office for a resolution as the customer services supervisor has been ignoring my emails. Despite the issues raised, I have had no contact whatsoever since 23rd July from him or anyone at Motorpoint and the wider complaint remains unresolved along with the promised car mats (from my initial purchase and in response to my complaint) have not arrived.

Very disappointing experience from start to finish, would not recommend, would not use again. Only interested in getting a “bang on” sale.

Really positive experience

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling my car to Motorpoint.

I got my initial valuation online and then booked an appointment to take the car in. By the time I went along, I’d added a couple of hundred miles to the mileage, so they made a small adjustment to the valuation. This was minimal and completely fair.

They checked the car over, took the keys and pretty much honoured the original valuation I’d been given. There was no hassle, no pressure and no awkward negotiating, the whole process was incredibly straightforward and exactly as I’d been told it would be.

I was also really pleased with the price I received for my car. From getting the initial valuation through to handing over the keys and completing the sale, everything was smooth and stress-free.

It’s not often you can say a car-selling experience was actually enjoyable, but this one really was! I’d definitely recommend Motorpoint to anyone thinking of selling their car.

A refreshing experience

Both sales associates I dealt with, Mark and Louie, were attentive , professional and gave excellent customer service. After a terrible experience with another dealership, it was refreshing to find a company and associates that truly did care about the customer. I recommended motorpoint to my father who called in and purchased his new car the following day.
Thank you motorpoint

Being able to wander round the cars…

+Being able to wander round the cars without sales staff harassing.
+Great quality car at reasonable price.
+Friendly service.
+A lot of process done ahead of time on phone or online.
- No chance to test drive because car imported from other site.
- Salesman had limited info on how to drive this hybrid car. We had to learn from scratch and still haven’t mastered all the key features.
- Final process took 2 hours with most admin already done in advance. The sales info claimed it would take 15 mins.
Overall satisfied with end result but final completion process could be more streamlined.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you found a quality car at a reasonable price and appreciated the friendly service, as well as the ability to browse without pressure.

We sincerely regret that you were unable to test drive the hybrid vehicle due to its import status and that the handover process took longer than expected, especially after much of the administration was completed beforehand. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the limited information provided about the hybrid features. We are actively reviewing our processes to ensure a more streamlined final completion and to enhance our team's knowledge on all vehicle types. Your insights are invaluable as we continuously work to improve our customer experience.

Be Wary if your car is under Manufacture Warranty

After getting home and trying to purchase a service plan with Kia there is an issue as to whether the car is covered under their 10 year warranty due to incomplete first service details and whether Motorpoint put in the proper oil filter. I’ve spent the last 2 days trying to come to a solution.

August 5, 2026

Reply from Motorpoint - Edinburgh

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the concerns you've experienced regarding your Kia warranty and appreciate how frustrating this situation must be.

We would like to reassure you that Motorpoint always uses manufacturer-approved parts when carrying out servicing, including oil filters, specifically to ensure that vehicle warranty requirements are maintained. Based on our records and from our perspective, there is nothing to suggest that your vehicle's warranty would be invalidated as a result of any work completed by us.

We understand that there appears to be some uncertainty regarding the service history details, and we're keen to help resolve this as quickly as possible. If there is any information or documentation required to support your discussions with Kia, our team will be happy to assist.

Please contact us directly with your vehicle registration and preferred contact details so we can review the matter with you and work towards a satisfactory resolution.

Thanks,
Shannen, GSM

Flat battery

Although I made arrangements to visit
Motorpoint at the time set by them,
the car was not ready the battery was empty of charge. This delayed the hand over by a few hours. The saviour of the hand over was Motorpoint agreed to pay road tax for a year. If it had not been for this, I would have given less stars. Everything else regarding the sale/hand over was very good very easy and smooth operation.

We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that the sales and handover process was mostly smooth. We sincerely apologize for the delay caused by the car not being fully prepared and the battery issue. We understand this was an inconvenience and are pleased we could compensate for it with the road tax. We will review our preparation procedures to prevent similar occurrences.

Very poor after sales service and non existent communication

I bought a car on 20th July and didn't notice initially that it has a problem with one of the alloy wheels. Informed the salesman of it 2 days after purchase with the expectation of it being replaced. Contacted their after sales manager who has never replied to my email. Car was taken to dealership on 31st July for an appointment to try to rectify the issue, the issue is still there. Promised that someone would be in touch to follow up and provide a solution, this has not happened. Subsequently emailed the service manager again as well as head office. Still no contact from them. Quck enough to take people's money off them without providing basic service expected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. I certainly would not recommend buying from this company.

Excellent process start to finish

Excellent process start to finish, I used the website to select the car I wanted and they shipped it up to Edinburgh for me to collect. Car was ready earlier than planned which was great however I could only come up on the scheduled day for work commitments. I was a little worried that there was no description of the cars condition on there website however it looking good from the pictures but still you don't see everything in a photo, however I was reassured on the phone that they don't itemise dents or wheel curbs as this work is all carried out prior to sale which is fantastic! You can ask if it had any work done, the on I purchased had one minor dent on the door but this was fixed prior to collection. The car was exactly how it was described and it was a speedy handover. Staff in Edinburgh and staff on the phone were very helpful and polite. Would highly recommend. Thank you

I am leaving this review in the hope it…helps another young person in their decision to purchase a vehicle from this dealership

I am leaving this review in the hope it saves another young person going through the same experience as my daughter. Motorpoint Edinburgh sold my daughter a faulty vehicle, we were told that it had gone through its pre-delivery checks twice (as the car actually came over from their Glasgow Dealership, it was checked there and then again when it arrived in Edinburgh). As my daughter was too young to test drive the car, I did it with her in passenger seat. It was at rush hour, so we didn't get out of 3rd gear and the car seemed fine. A loud noise coming from under hood, but we put it down to the fan cooling the engine. Anyway, she had the car for 24 hours before she had to hand it back to the dealership with a clutch fault. They had the car for two weeks, as every time they fixed something, another fault was found by their own mechanics - basically it needed a new clutch, a new gearbox and a new clutch pipe - the car had only done 32,000 miles. To their credit, Motorpoint offered my daughter the opportunity to pick another vehicle, to replace the faulty one. They offered her money off the new car and refunded her some of the costs she had incurred for deposits and insurance etc.. as a goodwill gesture, which we appreciated, and why I have given 2 stars instead of 1. This vehicle also has faults, not as bad as the first, but they arranged a free 15 month warranty - so when she takes it back to be repaired it will be covered. However, she had fitted her black box to the first faulty vehicle, and when she took delivery of her new vehicle, Motorpoint failed to hand over her black box. As her insurer won't send her a new black box as the previous one is still sending a GPS location signal, they are refusing to replace it. The GPS signal is showing that it is at Motorpoint Edinburgh - but the dealership are claiming that it isn't there ! So her insurance has now been cancelled, once again due to the incompetence of Motorpoint Edinburgh. She is now looking to sell the car as she can no longer afford to insure it. A very traumatic experience for her and all that have been involved.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Stacey.
Firstly, I'd like to say how sorry we are that your daughter experienced issues with her initial vehicle. While it was disappointing that faults developed so soon after collection, I'm pleased that our team was able to resolve the situation by offering a replacement vehicle, contributing towards associated costs, and providing a complimentary extended warranty for additional peace of mind.
Regarding the black box, we fully appreciate how frustrating this situation has been. However, we have carried out extensive searches and investigations with our Edinburgh team and are confident that the device is not in our possession. We have done everything we reasonably can to try and locate it, but unfortunately have been unable to find it.
We understand that the black box issue has had wider implications for your daughter's insurance arrangements, and we're genuinely sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. If your daughter decides that selling the vehicle is the best option for her circumstances, we would be more than happy to provide a valuation and purchase the vehicle through our Sell Your Car platform.
Whilst we're disappointed by the rating, we're grateful that you recognised the efforts made by the team to support your daughter following the issues with the original vehicle. It is unfortunate that a piece of property left in the vehicle has ultimately impacted your overall view of the experience despite the steps taken to resolve the vehicle concerns.
We wish your daughter all the very best and thank you again for your feedback.
Thanks,
Shannen, GSM
