What the information is for
Articles are intended to help readers understand ordinary motoring, car ownership and insurance questions. They are not a substitute for a driving instructor, vehicle inspection, garage diagnosis, legal advice, insurance policy wording or personal financial advice.
Safety comes first
A short website article cannot judge the condition of a vehicle or the circumstances on a road. If a car appears unsafe, stop using it where it is safe to do so and obtain suitable professional help. Follow current official road guidance where the situation requires it.
Insurance information
Insurance prices, acceptance, excesses and terms depend on the driver, vehicle, insurer and other circumstances. Examples on the site do not guarantee a particular premium or outcome.
Always answer insurer questions accurately and read the policy documents that apply to your cover.
Quotezone comparison service
Prudent Plus Ltd is an introducer appointed representative of Seopa Ltd, Blackstaff Studios, Floor 4, 8-10 Amelia Street, Belfast, BT2 7GS. Seopa Ltd trades as Quotezone and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm reference number 313860.
Seopa Ltd provides the insurance comparison service. Prudent Plus Ltd may receive commission if a policy is bought after a referral from this site. That commission does not increase the premium because of the referral itself.
No financial advice
TheFirstCar.co.uk contains editorial information rather than personal financial advice. A policy decision should be based on your own circumstances and the terms offered by the insurer.
Rules and information can change
Driving law, penalties, tax rules, insurance practice, vehicle equipment and manufacturer recommendations can change. We aim to keep articles useful, but we cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete or current.
Your car may be different
Even cars with the same model name can differ by age, engine, trim and equipment. Used vehicles also differ in maintenance and condition. Check information that matters against the actual car and its handbook.
External websites
External links are provided for quotations, official information or further reading. Those websites are run by their own operators. We are not responsible for their content, availability, services, prices, security or terms.
Website availability
We may change, remove or update parts of TheFirstCar.co.uk without notice. We do not promise that every page will always remain available.

Copyright

Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. Subject to that, general editorial information is not a guarantee that a particular driving action, repair, purchase or insurance choice is suitable for you. You remain responsible for your own driving decisions, the condition of the vehicle and checking important information.
Privacy
Information about data handling is set out in the Privacy Policy.
