What Factors Affect My Car’s Value?
Make & Model
Certain models depreciation, reliability and demand impact the value of your car more than you may expect.
Service History
A complete service history with a dealership shows that the car is well-maintained and means it’s worth more than a car with service history gaps at a local garage.
Age and Kilometers
Depreciation is accompanied by age and mileage. The older and more mileage your car has, the lower the value of the car. The depreciation does differ from model-to-model.
Interior and Exterior Condition
Scratches, dents, stone chips and other wear & tear makes cars less desirable in the market. Potential buyers tend to be put off by the spend and work needed.
Number of Owners
General rule of thumb. The fewer previous owners the better, as this means there’s less undisclosed problems with the vehicle.
Current Market
The market fluctuates on a daily basis based on supply, demand, and sold prices. Using live data, we are able to provide an accurate price for you at the time of valuation.

Car Valuations FAQs
Our valuation is based on the current supply, demand, and sold prices of the market. Provided that the details you’ve entered match the actual condition of the car, the online valuation will match what you will receive after your appointment.
Unfortunately, if there’s any information on your car that was not disclosed such as incorrect mileage, tyres condition, or cosmetic damages, it may affect the final offer provided after your appointment.
We strive to simplify our valuation process to make sure you’re only required to provide as few details as possible, while ensuring we’re able to provide you with an accurate valuation. Before starting your online valuation, please make sure you have the following information;
- Reg number
- Mileage
- Full name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Exterior and interior condition
There are a range of factors that impact the value of your car. While some are within your control, some are not. Here’s some ways you should consider to improve the value of your car;
- Have a complete and reputable service history
- Repair any damage
- Clean your car
Although the optional extras or upgrades make a car look appealing, not all upgrades are a guaranteed increase in resale value. For example, Body Kits, LED headlamps, and other cosmetic additions are ones that don’t guarantee price enhancements.
