About us
The premium vehicle matchmaker.
Motor Kiwi was founded by a small team of lifelong car enthusiasts who were tired of the same thing every premium buyer in the UK has been tired of for years: scrolling through endless pages of poorly-photographed, badly-described, optimistically-priced cars on marketplaces built for volume rather than quality.
We built Motor Kiwi to be the opposite of that. A curated, vetted, beautifully-presented marketplace where every advert earns its place — and where buyers, dealers and private sellers all know they're operating on a level playing field.
Our community is intentionally small and intentionally premium. We connect serious buyers with verified franchised dealerships, vetted independent specialists, and private sellers whose listings are personally managed by our concierge team. Every vehicle is reviewed by our editorial team before it's published. Every enquiry is qualified. Every transaction is transparent.
We don't believe luxury car buying should feel like a gamble — and we don't believe selling a cherished vehicle should feel like a chore. Motor Kiwi exists to fix both.
