If you financed your car with MotoNovo Finance through a PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) agreement, you might have heard increasing discussion around MotoNovo PCP & HP Claims. Customers nationwide are discovering their agreements may have involved unfair charges or undisclosed commissions, resulting in potential overpayments worth thousands of pounds. This guide will clearly explain how to spot if your MotoNovo PCP was mis-sold and what you can do to reclaim any money you’re owed.
Understanding PCP Mis-selling by MotoNovo Finance
Mis-selling occurs when finance providers, brokers, or dealerships do not meet their obligation to be transparent, fair, and responsible. With MotoNovo PCP deals, mis-selling typically involved:
- Undisclosed Commission Arrangements:
MotoNovo commonly used brokers and dealerships to arrange PCP agreements. Historically, some dealerships increased interest rates without the customer’s knowledge, earning higher commissions. This practice, known as Discretionary Commission Arrangements (DCAs), was banned by the FCA in January 2021. - Inadequate Affordability Checks:
MotoNovo was required by law to thoroughly assess your financial situation to confirm your PCP deal was affordable. If proper affordability checks were skipped or insufficient, this can indicate mis-selling.
Red Flags of MotoNovo PCP Mis-selling
If you had a MotoNovo PCP agreement, watch out for these specific indicators:
1. Unusually High Interest Rates or Charges
MotoNovo agreements often varied significantly depending on dealerships and brokers. If your interest rate seemed high compared to advertised market rates, it could signal hidden commissions paid to dealerships.
2. Missing or Unclear Information on Final Payments and Fees
MotoNovo PCP agreements should have clearly explained critical details, including:
- Balloon (Final) Payments: The large lump-sum payment required at the end of your PCP to purchase the vehicle outright.
- Mileage Restrictions and Penalties: Excess mileage fees can be expensive and should have been transparently disclosed upfront.
If these terms were poorly explained or glossed over at signing, mis-selling could have occurred.
3. Sales Pressure or Lack of Transparency at the Dealership
MotoNovo relied heavily on dealership partners to arrange their PCP deals. If you felt pressured into signing without clear explanations of the terms, or if the dealership failed to disclose they were receiving commission, your PCP agreement might have been mis-sold.
Step-by-Step MotoNovo PCP Mis-selling Checklist
Review your MotoNovo PCP agreement with this checklist to identify potential mis-selling:
| Question | Yes/No |
| Did the dealership clearly disclose any commission they would earn from your MotoNovo agreement? | |
| Were you informed of exactly how your interest rate was calculated? | |
| Were your income and expenses adequately assessed to ensure repayments were affordable? | |
| Was the balloon payment and mileage limit clearly explained before signing? | |
| Did the salesperson pressure or rush you into signing without giving sufficient explanation or time? |
Answering “No” or feeling unsure about these questions strongly suggests potential mis-selling in your MotoNovo PCP deal.
What to Do if Your MotoNovo PCP Agreement Was Mis-sold
If you suspect mis-selling, take these immediate steps:

MotoNovo must provide clear information regarding commissions paid to dealerships on your agreement. You can request this directly from MotoNovo, and they’re legally obliged to respond.
2. File a Formal Complaint
