WORST EXPERIENCE EVER WITH ZUTO – A COMPLETE DISASTER! I was approved by Zuto to buy a car on Saturday, 14/03/26. Everything was signed, verified, and confirmed all my documents, licence, proof, and agreement fully completed. I even paid a £100 deposit to take the car off the market. They asked if I wanted the funds sent early to the dealership, I said yes. They asked if I could collect the car on Tuesday the 17th, again I said yes. Everything seemed perfect — smooth process, easy communication… until Tuesday came. Over the weekend, I had already cancelled my insurance on the old car to use the NCB, purchased a new policy, and even bought some expensive upgrades for the new one. I drove 115 miles to the dealership, checked the car thoroughly, and was 100% happy, the dealer himself was brilliant, honest, and super patient. Then the nightmare began. The dealer hadn’t received the funds. I called Zuto, they told me their IT department was down but not to worry. Three hours later, they finally called back to say: “Sorry, due to IT issues, we’ve had to decline your application.” Just like that. After full approval, signed documents, verified ID, and days of preparation! They left me stranded, embarrassed, and completely out of pocket. Who’s paying for my fuel, my wasted time, my insurance changes, my 230-mile trip, and all the parts I bought for the car that I can’t even have now? Nobody. Just a weak "Sorry for the inconvenience.” This experience was beyond frustrating — it was infuriating, irresponsible, and unprofessional. If I could give zero stars, I would. WARNING TO OTHERS: Don’t trust Zuto’s “approval” until the money has actually reached the dealer. Their system failed me completely, and their so-called IT issue cost me hundreds of pounds and an entire weekend of stress. NEVER AGAIN WITH ZUTO. Reviewed on: 18th March 2026

Absolutely recommend!

Being disabled and on a low income I was really struggling to find an affordable option for a second hand car - Zuto and their very friendly customer service team completely took all the anxiety out of the situation; they did all the 'running-around' for me, finding an affordable deal for a fantastic car for me without using any pushy sales tactics. There was no pressure to proceed if you were unsure, and they always rang back when they said they would. Reviewed on: 11th March 2026
