About AutoTrader

Founded in 1975, AutoTrader started out as a local Magazine that was issued weekly. It soon became the number one publication, not just for customers looking to buy cars, but also for retailers looking to sell their used cars.

AutoTrader didn’t actually go online until 1996, and for the first 17 years the website ran alongside the magazine until 2013, when it was discontinued. Following the magazine’s success, the website is now the largest digital automotive site in the UK and Ireland that specialises in new and second hand automotive sales, including cars sold by private sellers and trade dealers, like ourselves.
