The valuation is intended as a practical price reference, reflecting current listing behaviour and demand for similar vehicles.
Use it to sense-check an offer, a trade-in quote, or an asking price before you negotiate.

Your result appears immediately with no account creation. It’s built to be fast and simple, so you can check value when you need it.
If you update mileage or you’re comparing multiple cars, you can run another check in seconds.
Tips to interpret the result
A value check is most useful when you understand what can influence the price buyers are willing to pay.
-
Private sale vs. trade-in
Private sales can achieve higher prices, while trade-in quotes may be lower to account for dealer preparation costs and margin. Compare like-for-like when evaluating offers.
-
Condition and presentation
Clean interiors, well-kept paintwork and recent maintenance can increase buyer interest. Minor repairs and a tidy presentation can improve perceived value during viewings.
-
History and documentation
Full service history, invoices and a consistent MOT record help reassure buyers. Gaps in history can reduce confidence and affect the final price.
-
Timing
Prices can fluctuate with seasonality and demand. If you’re not in a rush, monitoring the market can help you choose a better time to sell.
-
Specification differences
Trim level and optional features can change price meaningfully. Compare your car against similar specs when reviewing other listings.
-
Mileage accuracy
Use an accurate mileage reading. A difference of a few thousand miles can influence pricing, especially for newer vehicles.
-
Owner count
Owner history may affect buyer perception. Fewer keepers can make a car easier to sell, particularly in competitive segments.
-
Local market
Regional preferences can influence demand for certain models, body types, and fuel types. Consider your area when setting an asking price.
Used car value check questions
Helpful answers before you sell or negotiate
Is the result a guaranteed offer?
No. It’s an estimate to help you understand current pricing levels. A final offer depends on condition, documentation, and the buyer type.
Can I use this check for any UK-registered car?
Yes, the tool is intended for UK vehicles. If you have the reg and mileage, you can run a quick value check.
Why can two similar cars have different prices?
Differences in trim, service history, condition, and location can all shift the price. Even colour and options can affect buyer demand.
Do you store my registration details?
The value check is designed to work without requiring account details. If you’re privacy-conscious, you can use the tool without providing personal contact information.
What mileage should I enter if I’m viewing a car to buy?
Use the mileage shown in the advert or ask the seller. If it’s approximate, the estimate is still useful as a range to compare against the asking price.
Will the value change if I check again later?
It can. Used car markets move with demand, supply, and seasonality. If you’re selling soon, it’s worth checking again closer to the sale date.
