Things to know if you’re part-exchanging Legislation has recently changed and we cannot accept a vehicle in part-exchange unless the following documentation or accessories are supplied by the date of delivery:
Compulsory •
V5 new-style registration document in your name and current address
•
MOT certificate (if applicable)
•
Service and handbooks for your part-exchange
•
Both main and spare keys
•
Locking wheel nut keys
•
Radio code and transponder card (if applicable)
•
Charging cables or EV accessories (if applicable)
Should any of the above not be available, a revaluation of your part-exchange is required. Please be aware it is your responsibility to ensure the vehicle has the appropriate insurance cover upon leaving the dealership.
DVLA declaration Please be aware that it is your responsibility to complete a VSC/3 and forward the required document (to the DVLA). Should you fail to do this, the DVLA will impose a fine.
Payments Any part-exchange or vehicle cashback payments will be made within 3–5 working days. If you require a faster, same-day payment for your cashback, this will incur a £15 charge.
Personal data Please ensure that your part-exchange is cleared of all personal data before it is handed to Arbury; this includes clearing history on your satellite navigation system and deleting mobile telephone contacts. Please check the glove compartment and other storage areas for items containing personal data, e.g. receipts.
Personal belongings Please ensure that all your personal belongings are removed from your part-exchange before it is handed to Arbury.

Making electric driving a breeze Top tips for getting the most out of your EV If your new car has an electrified powertrain, we’re here to make your switch as seamless as possible. Read our handy guides below, and if you have any questions, please do come and see a member of Team Arbury. Our knowledgeable team can talk you through charging, electricity tariffs and how Clean Air Zones work in more detail.
Charging It may seem like a world away from the petrol pumps, but charging your electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle is actually very simple! First things first, you can power up at home or on the go (covered below), and you can charge your car at any time and in any weather – don’t believe the myth, you can safely charge your EV in the rain!
Home charging More often than not, you’ll want to charge your vehicle from the comfort of your own home. If you have a driveway or garage, you can install your own specially designed charging point. Alternatively, you can use a standard UK three-pin socket. Charge your electric car like you would your smartphone or laptop – simply plug it in when you get home and it’ll be ready to go the next day. Simple! Home charging isn’t just convenient, it’s also the cheapest charging method. We recommend contacting your electricity provider to find out about the available tariffs – you might be able to take advantage of a cheaper tariff by charging overnight, for example.
Charging at work With EVs increasing in popularity, many businesses are considering installing charging stations on their premises – for personal and fleet vehicles.
Public charging The UK government is committed to an electric future and is continually expanding the UK’s charging network. There are new public charge points popping up every day – according to EDF Energy, there are now more than 42,000 charge point connectors across the UK in over 15,500 locations. Websites like Zap-Map will help you easily find the nearest charge point.

Optimising your EV range Your new electric car will be suitable for everyday use and long-distance journeys. But there are things you can do to optimise your EV and help it run as efficiently as possible for as long as possible. You might already do some of these, as many help improve the efficiency of all vehicles, regardless of powertrain.
1. Adjust your driving style As with ICE vehicles, higher speeds, harder acceleration and braking use more power. So, while it may be tempting to take full advantage of your EV’s immediate torque, it’s sensible to take it easy when setting off.
2. Pack light Increased loads require more power, so pack sensibly when you head out on a road trip!
3. Engage eco mode Most EVs and hybrids have a form of eco mode, which helps reduce power consumption and improve mileage. Many infotainment systems include a feature that gives you an indication of your energy consumption and remaining range. Ask the team if you’re unsure where to find this information!
4. Temperature check On-board comfort features like air con and heating use more power. Many EVs include a pre-heat or cool feature, which can be engaged while the car is charging. Not only will you feel more comfortable when you get in, but you’ll use less energy. If you’re driving solo, it’s also an idea to use the heated seats rather than heat the whole cabin.
5. Plan your charging location If you regularly drive long distances, it makes sense to find charging points along your desired route. Websites like Zap-Map can help.
6. Seek shelter Keeping your vehicle in a garage during cold snaps can help your car hold its battery charge for longer. Plus, the interior won’t need to be heated as much. Win-win!
7. Tyre pressure As with petrol and diesel cars, keeping your tyre pressure at the optimal level can help enhance your efficiency and range.
