A used car loan is a form of secured vehicle finance that helps a borrower purchase a pre-owned or second-hand car by borrowing against the value of the vehicle, which typically serves as collateral for the facility. It is commonly used by buyers who want to own a car without paying the full purchase price upfront, spreading the cost through regular instalments over an agreed repayment period.
Because the underlying asset is an older vehicle rather than a new one, the lender usually assesses the car's condition, valuation and documentation before deciding whether financing can be extended. Tata Capital, a non-banking financial company established in 2007 and headquartered in Mumbai, offers a used car loan through its vehicle loan range that emphasises a largely digital application journey, limited paperwork and multiple ways to apply, including online, at a branch, over the phone and through its virtual assistant and messaging channels.
The product highlights flexible repayment tenures and financing linked to the appraised value of the pre-owned car, so eligible applicants may fund a significant share of the vehicle's assessed worth and reduce the down payment required. Approval, funding share and final terms depend on eligibility, the applicant's credit profile and the condition and valuation of the specific vehicle, and outcomes are not guaranteed. Prospective borrowers should confirm current terms directly with Tata Capital before applying.

A used vehicle is riskier collateral and depreciates faster, so lenders price the rate higher and finance a smaller share of the value. NBFCs often approve older cars and thinner files that banks decline.
Every row is date-stamped with the day we last checked it, and links to the lender’s published material so you can confirm it yourself. A row we confirmed against the source reads “Verified”; one we could only sight reads “as of”, and is not presented as confirmed. Anything we have not re-checked in 60 days is marked “rate under review” rather than left to look current. We do not claim a fixed re-checking cycle — the date on each row is the honest answer.
No. Viewing rates is not a credit enquiry and has no score impact. A hard enquiry happens only when you formally apply to a lender.
