Dowleys Garage in Carterton, Oxford specialise in supplying late model, low mileage vehicles. Occasionally, we may have older models available, which we will have taken in PX. Such cars can also be suitable as "first time" vehicles. Yet, being a family business, if a used car is not up to our standards, they won't find their place on our forecourt.
We can source any vehicle. It may take up to a couple of weeks but if we don't have what you are looking for, we will do our very best to find it for you. Simply let us know your requirements. At Dowleys, all used cars come with a 3 month/3000 mile warranty, which can be extended to 2 years. We operate a "pressure-free-zone" in our showroom, we don't force anyone into buying a car.
In the past, we've even talked someone out of buying a vehicle, because they were over-committing themselves to a financial plan. This is not the usual practice that we appreciate, but the interest and needs of our customers come before our profit. In our trade, a great way to stay in business is by being honest, upfront and often empathetic with our customers.

The MOT scheme is a road safety measure designed to ensure that all cars, motorcycles and light goods vehicles more than 3 years old are properly maintained.
A European-wide version of the MOT based upon the then Member States' minimum requirements was introduced in 1996 (1996/96/EC).
