What is a fair credit score?

A fair credit score usually falls between 580 and 669, showing moderate creditworthiness. UK credit agencies calculate your score based on factors like payment history, credit use, account age, recent credit activity, and mix of credit types. You might have a fair credit score for several reasons, such as recent address changes, a high debt-to-income ratio, or a few missed payments.

Who is eligible for fair credit car finance?

Eligibility for fair credit car finance varies among lenders and typically considers:

  • Credit score: While fair credit scores are generally accepted, lenders may have specific thresholds.
  • Income: Demonstrating a stable income helps lenders gauge your ability to make repayments.
  • Employment history: A consistent employment record can enhance your eligibility.
  • Down payment: Some lenders may require a downpayment to secure the loan.

Understanding these factors is crucial when considering fair credit car finance options, ensuring you meet the necessary requirements before applying.

Fair credit car finance options

PCP car finance with fair credit

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) lets you drive a new car with lower monthly payments over a set period, usually 2-4 years. At the end, you can return the car, make the final payment to own it outright, or part-exchange it for a new one. This option offers you flexibility and affordability, ideal if you want to keep payments manageable while still enjoying a newer vehicle.

HP car finance with fair credit

Hire Purchase (HP) lets you own your car by making fixed monthly payments over 1-5 years. Once you’ve made all payments, the car is yours. This option is ideal if you want straightforward ownership and predictable payments, giving you control and clarity throughout the finance period. Perfect for fair credit applicants seeking a reliable path to car ownership.
