Used Car Awards 2025 Nominations List: Is your business in the running for a top award?

  • Used Car Awards will be held at The Brewery on Monday, November 24
  • Nominations list revealed today follows first round of judging
  • Ticket sales now open for the big event with firms urged to book early to avoid disappointment 

Time 4:53 pm, October 6, 2025

Our Nominations List for the prestigious Used Car Awards 2025 is now complete – and here we reveal who will move to the next stage.

The nominations for the Used Car Awards, sponsored by Black Horse, is published below and contains the names of those who will go through to the mystery shopping phase.

Car Dealer’s mystery shopping team has already begun its work, so make sure your teams are on top form as our judges may call, email or even visit your dealership in person.

Winners will be announced at the glittering awards ceremony at The Brewery in London on November 24. 

Ticket sales are open now.

Our judging panel – which includes event host and Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer – have trimmed down the thousands of nominations received using a combination of online reviews across a variety of platforms and citations.

We look at Auto Trader and Google rankings, the number of reviews and even what your customers have said about you on these platforms and others. 

The size of your business, the age, and your stock levels are all taken into consideration when the judges look at the nominees.

Anyone can nominate a business so if your name is on the list and comes as a surprise that’ll be because someone out there admires what you do!

The businesses on this list will now be mystery-shopped by our panel of experts before our judges draw up the awards Shortlist, which will be revealed on October 20.

Brewer said: ‘It’s been another fascinating year for the judging team as we look at the brilliant businesses put forward for our awards.

‘I’ve loved whittling them down to this Nominations List as it’s given me a chance to check out these dealers’ reviews – and my word there are some great ones out there.
