New listings land in your Telegram

New cars appear in the chat

Cars that were already advertised are noted on the first check and not sent. From then on each newly listed car turns up as a card: a picture, the advert title, the price and a button that opens it on Auto Trader.

What lands in Telegram from an Auto Trader search

The card is meant to be judged at a glance. The photo and the headline tell you whether it is the right shape and spec, the price tells you whether it is worth a call, and one tap opens the full advert with the seller’s details and the rest of the pictures.

Every search carries its own hashtag, so if you run several the chat never turns into a muddle: tap the tag and you see that search alone. The same chat is on your phone and on Telegram Desktop, so you can open the advert on whichever screen is nearer.

Several Auto Trader searches, one chat

Maybe you want a small hatchback for a new driver and a tow car for the caravan, or you are comparing two models before deciding. Each search is a separate link with its own tag. Mute one and its cards still arrive, just without a sound, which suits a search you only browse at weekends.

Being early matters on a UK car site

A sensibly priced car from a private seller gets messages and calls the day it goes up, and plenty of sellers deal with whoever books the first viewing. The point of the card is to get you that viewing, not to make the decision for you.

Before buying, check the MOT history on the gov.uk service, run a vehicle history check for outstanding finance and write-offs, and make sure the name and address on the V5C logbook match the seller and where you are viewing.

Auto Trader’s saved searches and ours

Auto Trader lets you save searches and be notified about them, and you are free to keep using that. MXSender is for people who would rather have the result in a Telegram chat, with the check frequency set by the plan they choose.

❓Frequently asked questions

How often is the search checked?

Free: one search every 30 minutes. Starter, $5.99: five searches every 10 minutes. Pro, $14.99: twenty searches with the fastest checks. Telegram is available on every plan.

Can I send a car to my partner?

Yes. Forward the card in Telegram and they receive the photo, price and link together.

Do I need an Auto Trader account?

No. We use the public results page you copied, the same one anyone can open.

What if I change my price range?

Adjust the filters on Auto Trader, add the new link, and delete the old search so you do not get two sets of cards.

Does every check always reach Auto Trader?

Not always. If a check fails, the next one carries on and new cars still come through.

Will I see vans or motorbikes?

Only if your search is for them. Whatever the results page shows is what you get alerts for.
