How to find your perfect car

With our helpful tools

We know how important it is to find the right cars quickly in mfldirect. Here's how you can do it:

Search

Whether you know exactly what you're looking for or you like to browse before drilling into the detail, we've got all the search and filtering options you need.

1

Keyword Search

The keyword search allows you to find cars using our search options. Just type in what you are looking for from the following criteria and we’ll show you everything that matches:

  • Registration number
  • CAP ID
  • Make
  • Model
  • Variant
  • Body style

2

Category Search

You can find the category search on the mfldirect homepage.

Use the drop down categories on homepage to see cars based on a range of preset categories, including price reductions, publishing times and even cars that are available to preview.

Then, either browse the results or refine your search by make and model.

3

Advanced Search

If you want a more in depth look, Advanced Search is a great tool for you.

You can get really specific with what you want, by adding any important details like number of seats, age, drive, engine size, MPG and Co2 emissions.

 

Filter your results

It's easy to add and remove filters when you are searching for cars. Each category that you've searched for shows as a bubble that can be easily removed by clicking on the X.

If you want to start drilling down into your search, just open the search block by pressing on the filter button. Choose the options you need, press Apply Filters and your results will update. 

If you want to start again, simply press Reset all filters and this will get rid of all search criteria.

If you've made changes to your search but changed your mind, use the cancel button. Your original search will be displayed and any changes discarded.

Personalised Recommendations

Our recommendations engine will sort through the thousands of cars we publish every day to find cars that we think you'll like.

Every time you log in you'll find your latest recommendations in a carousel on your homepage. Use the arrows to click left and right to view all your suggested vehicles.

To get to your personal recommended vehicle page, either click View All from your homepage carousel or select the Recommended option from the drop down menu and run the search. Then just browse the stock  or apply additional filters.

If you see a car you like, add it to your shortlist, view more details or, if it's already on sale, buy it immediately.

New recommendation notifications

You can also choose to be notified onscreen and by email with your latest recommendations.

Visit Manage Account, click Communications and toggle on your notifications.

Interactive stocklist

All our vehicles are available to view in one Stocklist to make it easier for you to find what you need.

Click Search all vehicles on your homepage to see the Stocklist next to the Grid and Stack buttons at the top of your search results.

If you're looking for specific cars you can run a search and the Stocklist will only show your search results rather than everything.

Your Stocklist gives you a wide range of useful data:

  • Vehicle information including reg, make, model, price, CAP ID, mileage and more
  • Price reductions, including the reduced amount for each vehicle
  • View vehicle locations by hovering over the postcode column
  • Explore vehicle details by clicking the view button on each listing

You can then shortlist and buy from each vehicle card.

The Stocklist updates in real-time so you have the most up to date stock information whenever you use it.

You can view your Stocklist onscreen or download the csv.
