What affects your car's value?

Several key factors influence how much your car is worth. From mileage to service history, each detail plays a role in shaping your vehicle's market value. Understanding these can help you make informed decisions—whether you're selling, trading in, or just checking.

  • Condition & service history

    A well-maintained car with a clean MOT and full service history usually commands a higher price. Visible damage such as dents, scratches, or worn-out parts can significantly reduce value. Regular maintenance and timely repairs not only keep the car in good shape but also reassure potential buyers.

  • Mileage

    Mileage is one of the most important factors in a car valuation. Generally, the more miles a car has driven, the lower its value. Exceeding the average annual mileage (around 12,000 miles) may suggest higher wear and tear, increasing the chances of mechanical issues—resulting in a lower resale price.

  • Age

    Older cars tend to have lower market value, mainly due to depreciation and potential maintenance concerns. However, a well-maintained older car can still hold its value better than a newer one in poor condition.

  • Colour

    It might come as a surprise, but your car’s colour can slightly influence its value. Popular colours like black, white, grey, and red often attract higher resale prices. Unusual or bold colours may appeal to fewer buyers, which can make resale more difficult. In some cases, repainting to a neutral shade can be a worthwhile investment.

  • Vehicle specifications

    Extra features such as leather seats, upgraded infotainment systems, alloy wheels, sunroofs, or safety tech can positively influence value—especially if they were optional extras at the time of purchase.

  • MOT and tax status

    A vehicle with a valid MOT and road tax is often more attractive to buyers, saving them time and immediate expenses. A car with no valid MOT may lose a significant portion of its value.

  • Number of previous owners

    Cars with fewer previous owners often hold more value, as they’re perceived as better maintained and more reliable. A long list of past owners might raise concerns for potential buyers.

  • Location

    Where you’re selling your car matters. Some models are more popular in urban areas, while others may hold value better in rural regions. Market demand can vary by region, affecting the final valuation.
