If any lender looked at your posting history on here they would all run a mile. It seems you haven't repaid anything....ever!!
Good job they only keep records for a finite time.
Why would you be offloading a car with nearly £4k owing (are those payments up to date/any missed/late)?

Is your credit good enough to borrow £11,000 ??
Thats a huge shortfall to stick onto the value of the next car.
Not on the electoral roll will be an issue. Being on there for a short time will also be an issue because they will ask for the last 6 years.
No trace may scare them away, Will you be taking this loan and vanishing off the face of the planet?
They like stable people, Long time at one address and one job. Preferably people that dont need to borrow money.
Punctuation, Spelling and Grammar will be used sparingly. Due to rising costs of inflation.
My contribution to MSE. Other contributions will only be used if they cost me nothing.
Due to me being a tight git.

Where do you get the £11,000 figure from? Just curious, as the OP mentions £7k for the new car, with a settlement of £3,700. There is no mention of how much the old car is worth or how much deposit the OP is going to put in.
So, unless the old car is worth £0 and the OP is putting in no deposit at all, I'm struggling to understand where £11k comes from?

I think it's a fair assumption that the present car will be in negative equity. If it's not, then it's up to the OP to tell us.
I would ask the OP if the present loan is a HP agreement? If it is, have you paid at least half the payments? If it is, and you have, then you can Voluntarily Terminate the agreement and hand the car back.
If not, I think it is fair to assume you will have to borrow about £11k, and from what little you have told us about yourself, that target would seem to be unattainable.
I used to be a Conservative, but I'm better now.

It probably is fair to assume some negative equity, but to get to a figure of having to have credit enough for £11,000 on a £7,000 new car is assuming that the old one is worth absolutely nothing! Obviously we won't know the true value unless the OP tells us.
Good shout on the VT though
