Vehicle Valuation

Looking to sell your car? Find out how much it's worth with a vehicle valuation.

A vehicle valuation can be an incredibly quick and useful way of seeing how much your car is worth before you sell, which ensures you to get a fair deal.

What gets taken into account when a vehicle is valued?

Age - Depreciation is the term used to describe the gradual loss in value of a car. As newer models with more advanced technology and features, such enhanced safety features, hit the market, this decreases the value of older vehicles because they just have less advanced features.

Condition - If a car has been maintained correctly during ownership, any damage has been repaired over the years and it's generally been taken care of, then you're a lot more likely to get a higher valuation for your car.

Ensure you clean your car regularly, and replace any consumables such as tyres with low tread before you apply for a valuation.

Mileage - The higher the car's mileage, the more likely costly upkeep will be needed in the future. A car with less miles on it is always more appealing to potential purchasers since it still has a lot of life left.

Service History - Ensuring your car has a regular and up to date service history is likely to get you a higher valuation, as it shows the car has been looked after properly during its life. Having an up to date MOT on your car can also positively affect your valuation.
