Buying a used car in Grays
Grays and the wider Thurrock area — Chafford Hundred, Aveley, South Ockendon — sit just the other side of the M25, with the huge Lakeside centre on the doorstep. We're a straight run west on the A1306, about fifteen minutes, and crucially without having to fight the Lakeside car parks to get to us.
Here's a Grays advantage worth knowing: Thurrock is outside the London ULEZ, so if you rarely drive into the capital you have more flexibility — an older, cheaper diesel can make good sense here where it wouldn't for a London commuter. If you do head into town, we'll still confirm the car's ULEZ compliance so you're covered either way.

Grays — FAQs
How far is Status Motor Group from Grays?
Roughly seven miles — about 15 minutes by car along the A1306 through Aveley, or c2c rail from Grays to Rainham takes around 10 minutes.
Are you easier to deal with than the big car supermarkets at Lakeside?
We're family-run, so you deal with the same people from enquiry to handover — no hidden admin fees, no upsell scripts, and straight answers about every car's history and condition.
I don't often drive into London — do I need a ULEZ-compliant car?
Not necessarily. Grays and Thurrock are outside the zone, so if you stay local a non-compliant car costs you nothing. If you commute into London, compliance saves £12.50 a day — tell us your driving and we'll point you at the right cars.
Found the right car?
Call ahead and we'll have it ready to test drive when you arrive from Grays — or ask for a walk-around video and buy from your sofa.
