Valuation

What is a car valuation?

A car valuation is an estimate of the current market value of a vehicle. It takes into account various factors such as the make and model of the car, its age, condition, mileage, and any special features. A car valuation can be performed by a car dealership, an independent car valuation service, or through an online car valuation tool.

Why should you get a car valuation?

Getting a car valuation can be beneficial for several reasons. Firstly, it can provide you with an accurate estimate of your car's worth, which can be helpful if you are looking to sell your car or trade it in. By knowing the true value of your car, you can ensure that you receive a fair price and don't get ripped off.

Secondly, a car valuation can also help you to make informed decisions about buying a car. If you are considering purchasing a used car, getting a valuation can give you an idea of whether the asking price is reasonable or not.

What factors affect the valuation of your car?

As mentioned above, the following factors can have an impact when valuing your car:

Step 1

Age

As every car is affected by depreciation, this results in the vehicle losing value over the years. So the valuation will take into account the level of depreciation your car has faced.

Step 1

Mileage

Mileage indicates how much the vehicle has been driving and the likelihood of wear and tear. A car with a high amount of miles over a short time may receive a lower valuation especially if any wear and tear hasn’t been fixed.

Step 1

Modifications

Any modifications done to your car can increase a valuation as it makes the vehicle more unique and desirable. This also goes for rare versions of vehicles as well.

Step 1

Previous owners

Having multiple previous owners can affect the valuation negatively as there is less of a chance of the vehicle being properly maintained.

Step 1

MOT

A car with a recent, valid MOT certificate is more likely to get a higher valuation since it's been determined that the vehicle meets the legal road safety requirements.

Step 1

Service history

Providing a documented history of servicing can positively impact the valuation of your car as it shows that the vehicle has been well looked after.

Step 1

Brand

More prestige, luxury or performance-focused vehicles are likely to receive a higher valuation due to the build quality, tech and choice of engines.
