Senior Cars, a family-run used vehicle dealership in Market Harborough

Senior Cars is a used car and van dealership based at Riverside Industrial Estate on Rockingham Road in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. The business states that it was established in 1982 and remains owned and operated by the Senior family. It presents itself as a family-run operation built around values of trust and transparency, with a customer base that includes generations of returning buyers.

The dealership holds a mixed stock of used vehicles rather than a single-marque range. Its website lists cars from Audi, BMW, Citroën, Ford, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Morgan, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Smart, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volvo. At the time of writing this profile, the online stocklist showed 39 vehicles for sale, including passenger cars and commercial models such as the Ford Transit Custom and Ford Tourneo Custom.

Vehicle sourcing and pre-sale preparation

Senior Cars says its vehicles come from reputable auctions, long-standing trade contacts and previous customers. Each car is described as undergoing a comprehensive pre-sale inspection (PDI), and the dealership states that any vehicle failing to meet its standards is not put on the forecourt. For buyers who cannot find a suitable vehicle in stock, an experienced buying team offers to source one through the dealership's trusted network.

Finance, part-exchange and vehicle hire

The business arranges car finance and acts as a credit broker rather than a lender. It states that it works with a number of selected credit providers and that it may receive commission from the lender it introduces, without that commission influencing the interest rate paid by the customer. Finance is subject to status and income, and written quotations are available on request. Senior Cars Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under FRN 664753.

Alongside sales, the dealership runs a car and van hire service, which has its own contact address at selfdrive@seniorcars.co.uk. It also invites owners to sell their vehicles to the business, and part-exchange is mentioned in customer reviews published on the site.

In-house workshop and after-sales care

Senior Cars operates a fully equipped in-house workshop that allows it to diagnose, service and maintain vehicles. The dealership presents this facility as the basis for ongoing servicing and after-sales support after a vehicle has been sold, and it also lists garage services among its activities.

Buying approach and customer feedback

The dealership describes its sales approach as transparent, with no hidden charges, no unnecessary add-ons and no pressure selling. It invites prospective buyers to visit for a no-obligation conversation, whether they already know which vehicle they want or need guidance. The website reproduces customer reviews that highlight a relaxed buying process, the helpfulness of named staff and the condition of the cars; these are individual testimonials rather than an aggregate rating. The business states that much of its trade comes from repeat customers and personal recommendations.
