How it works
From rego entry to cash in your account — in about an hour.
Mairovo replaces the slow, scattergun way of selling privately with a fast, one-to-many sealed-bid auction that puts your car in front of every relevant trade buyer in NZ.
Non-exclusive: list with us while your car is on Trade Me, Facebook Marketplace or anywhere else. You're never obliged to accept an offer, and you can withdraw in one click.
Enter your registration plate
We query NZTA Motochek to pre-fill make, model, year, body type, fuel, engine and the most recent odometer reading. Confirm or correct it, snap a few photos with your phone, and you're done.
Set your asking price
We show you a guide based on recent trade and retail comps. You stay in control of your price — Mairovo never sets the number for you and never takes a cut of the sale.
Choose your trade buyers
Send your listing to every verified RMVT trade buyer in NZ, or hand-pick the ones nearby. Buyers see your asking price up-front so you only hear from people willing to be in the ballpark.
Take offers — pick your favourite
Sealed-bid offers arrive over a short window. Each buyer has a verified RMVT licence number, address, photos and trader reviews. Pick whoever offers the best mix of price, location and trust.
Verify, sign, transfer
The buyer inspects (in person or via video), confirms the offer, transfers cleared funds to your bank account, and you sign the change-of-ownership notice on the spot.
Hand over the keys
Most buyers offer free collection within their region. Drop the car off, get the keys swapped for the rest of the money, walk away. Mairovo never holds your funds — they go bank-to-bank.
Why this beats the alternatives
A wholesale auction, in your pocket.
vs. Trade Me
Listing fees, success fees, weeks of texts from tyre-kickers. On Mairovo you list free and only deal with verified trade buyers.
vs. car-buying companies
One company, one offer, take it or leave it. Mairovo puts dozens of trade buyers in competition on your car at the same time.
vs. auction houses
Auctions take a 5–8% buyer's premium that gets worked back into your trade-in price. Mairovo charges no buyer's premium on the consumer side.
What's protected
Your rights, your data, your money.
Privacy Act 2020
Your rego and personal details are only shared with trade buyers you authorise. We never sell your data, and you can delete your listing any time.
MVSA 2003 compliant
Every trade buyer on Mairovo is a Registered Motor Vehicle Trader with a verified licence number. We check the register before any buyer gets access.
No money held by us
Funds move directly from the trade buyer's bank account to yours. Mairovo never sits in the middle of your money — only the deal flow.
