    I’m way under on mileage (COVID & Working from home), 
    I doubt that being under on mileage adds any value because so many other vehicles in the same position.

    Yeah, tried a few local garages, WBAC are about £1500 short of my settlement, motorway are about £800 short.
    Motorway $800 short seems better than trade in at $1200 short - $400 better in your pocket.

    Slap it on Facebook marketplace with the figure you're looking for to settle the finance.
    Advertise it as that and say that's all you want to do for a quick sale.
    Presumably it's less than market value and someone might just snap it up
    It's free and works well, so why not try.

    With the amount of hassle I have had selling other items on Facebook (a lawnmower and AirPods Pro), I'm not overly keen on going that route with a car.

    I'm probably going to go down the VT route.

    Thanks for all the help.
