Frequently asked questions

Find answers to your questions about our vehicles and the buying process.

Who is Micauto Usados?

Micauto Usados is Micauto’s brand dedicated to selling used and nearly new vehicles. It offers carefully selected vehicles with transparent information about their features, mileage, equipment and sales conditions.

Are the advertised vehicles available for immediate delivery?

The availability of the vehicles displayed on the website is for guidance only and may change without prior notice, particularly due to a sale, reservation, commercial preparation, transfer between locations or stock updates. We always recommend confirming availability with our team before making any decision.


Can I reserve a vehicle online?

Yes, Micauto Usados may provide options for submitting a reservation or pre-reservation request. The reservation will only be considered valid after express confirmation from Micauto Usados and, where applicable, upon receipt of the required deposit or reservation fee, under the terms communicated to the customer.


Is the reservation fee refundable?

The refund conditions for any amount paid as a reservation fee, deposit or advance payment will always be communicated to the customer before the transaction is confirmed. Unless expressly stated otherwise, a reservation does not in itself guarantee the completion of the vehicle purchase agreement.

Can I schedule a visit or test drive?

Yes. You can request an in-person visit or test drive using the contact details provided on the website. Test drives are subject to prior confirmation, vehicle availability, presentation of valid documentation and acceptance of the applicable terms and conditions.


Do the vehicles come with a warranty?

Vehicles sold to consumers are covered by the statutory warranty provided under applicable law. In Portugal, used goods sold by a professional to a consumer have a statutory warranty period of three years, which may be reduced to a minimum of 18 months by written agreement between the parties.


Does the warranty cover everything?

The warranty covers any lack of conformity in accordance with applicable law. It does not cover issues resulting from normal wear and tear, improper use, accidents, lack of maintenance, work carried out by unauthorised third parties or consumable and wear-and-tear parts, where applicable.


Are the vehicles inspected before sale?

Where applicable, vehicles undergo inspection and preparation before delivery. Specific information regarding servicing, maintenance, inspection, history and overall condition should be confirmed for each vehicle.


Can I trade in my current vehicle?

Yes, Micauto Usados may accept trade-ins, subject to a technical and commercial appraisal. The valuation depends on factors such as the make, model, year, mileage, overall condition, maintenance history, number of previous owners and market demand.


Does Micauto Usados offer financing?

Micauto Usados may offer financing options through partner organisations, subject to assessment and approval. Submitting a financing application does not guarantee automatic approval.


Can I purchase a vehicle entirely remotely?

In certain cases, yes. When a purchase is completed remotely, the legal rules governing distance contracts apply, including pre-contractual information requirements and, where legally applicable, the right to cancel within 14 days.


Does the right of withdrawal always apply when purchasing a vehicle?

Not always in the same way in every situation. The applicable rules depend on how the contract is concluded, the type of goods, the delivery method and the contractual documentation. Therefore, specific information about the right of withdrawal must be expressly stated in Micauto Usados’ terms and conditions for distance sales.


Do the advertised prices include additional costs?

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the advertised prices should clearly indicate whether they include administrative fees, transfer of ownership, vehicle preparation, any additional commercial warranty, transport or home delivery.


Are the vehicle images binding?

The photographs published on the website are for illustrative and informational purposes only. There may be minor differences between the images, the equipment shown and the vehicle’s final configuration.


How can I find out the exact equipment of a vehicle?

Each vehicle listing aims to provide details of its most relevant equipment. However, we always recommend confirming this information with Micauto Usados before purchasing, particularly regarding optional extras, versions, driver assistance systems, connectivity features and accessories.


Can I request delivery to another island or location?

This will depend on Micauto Usados’ logistics and commercial policy. If this service is available, the costs, delivery times and transport conditions will be communicated to the customer in advance.


How can I make a complaint?

You can contact Micauto Usados directly using the contact details provided on the website and, where applicable, use the Electronic Complaints Book, which relevant businesses are legally required to provide and make available online.


Is alternative dispute resolution available?

In the event of a consumer dispute, the consumer may contact an Alternative Consumer Dispute Resolution entity. In the Azores, consumers can contact CIMARA — the Information, Mediation and Arbitration Centre of the Autonomous Region of the Azores, located in Ponta Delgada.


How can I contact Micauto Usados?
