How to Sell Your Car in Mauritius

Selling a car in Mauritius might feel like a mountain to climb, but it’s actually quite manageable once you know what to do. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, this guide breaks it down for you, so that you know exactly where to start.

1. Get your car ready

First impressions matter.
Give your car a good clean inside and out. A tidy, well-presented car will make buyers feel more confident about it. If you can, fix any small issues like broken bulbs or worn wipers. If the tyres are flat, pump them up. You don’t need to spend a fortune, but a car that looks cared for sells faster.

2. Know what it’s worth

Don’t just guess the price. Look at similar cars online to get a feel for the market. Check the make, model, year, mileage, and condition against your own car. You want a fair price that’s not too high (scaring buyers off) and not too low (losing money you could have made).
You can browse current listings onAutoCloud.mu to see what similar cars are being advertised for.

3. List your car on AutoCloud

AutoCloud makes it easy to put your car in front of buyers. The process is simple:

• Create your seller account

• Add your vehicle details (make, model, year, mileage, etc)

• Upload clear photos from different angles

• Set your asking price

Once your listing is live, buyers can contact you directly through the platform. To begin your sales journey through AutoCloud, click here.

4. Respond to buyers

When buyers get in touch, reply promptly. Arrange to meet in a safe, public place during the day. Let the buyer inspect the car, and if they want a test drive, make sure you go along for the ride.
Remember: never hand over the car or keys until all the money is paid and the paperwork is done.

5. Handle the paperwork

This is the step most people worry about, but it’s not too bad.
In Mauritius, you and the buyer need to sign a Declaration of Sale (Form 33), which is submitted to the National Transport Authority (NTA). This formally transfers the car into the buyer’s name.

You’ll also need:

• Your national ID card

• The car’s original registration documents (horsepower certificate and insurance)

• Any loan clearance letter if the car was financed

Once the transfer is done, you’re no longer legally responsible for the car.

6. Get paid

Always make sure payment is secure before handing over the keys. Bank transfer or cashier’s cheque are safest. Avoid taking personal cheques unless you know the buyer well.

Final tip
