How the valuation is built
When you enter your registration and mileage, we look your exact car up - make, model, derivative, age and specification - and price it against live market data: what cars like yours are actually selling for right now, not a printed book price that's months old.
What pushes the value up
- Lower mileage than average for the car's age.
- Full service history, ideally with main-dealer or specialist stamps.
- Good condition - straight panels, tidy alloys, a clean interior.
- Two keys and complete paperwork.
- Desirable spec - the right engine, gearbox and options for that model.
What brings it down
- Accident damage, poor repairs or mismatched paint.
- Missing history, one key, or a private-plate transfer still in progress.
- Warning lights, worn tyres, or an MOT about to expire.
Why the online figure is an estimate
The online valuation prices your car sight-unseen, assuming it's in the condition typical for its age and mileage. The final offer is confirmed when we inspect the car together - if it's as described, expect the same figure. If something's different, we'll show you exactly what and why before you decide anything.
