The same car is worth different amounts depending on how you sell it. A private sale usually gets you the most but takes time and effort, part exchange is the least but is instant and hassle free, and the forecourt figure is what a dealer would then ask for it. Seeing all of them together is what tells you whether the part exchange offer you have been given is fair or several hundred pounds short.
Our valuation is calculated at the mileage recorded for your car rather than a notional average, which matters because the gap between an average mileage example and a high mileage one can be thousands. That is also why a clocked car is such an expensive mistake: you pay the price of the mileage on the dial and own the wear of the real figure underneath it.
It reflects a car in normal condition for its age and mileage. It cannot see a kerbed alloy, a full service history, a desirable options list or a scraped bumper, all of which move the real world price. Treat it as the accurate starting point that keeps a negotiation honest, then adjust for the condition in front of you.
Enter your registration. We return an independent trade guide valuation at your car's recorded mileage, showing private sale, part exchange, forecourt and trade figures.
The vehicle preview is free. The valuation comes with the full report from £4.99, which also includes MOT history, mileage timeline, spec, tax and factory paint.
Part exchange is always the lowest figure because the dealer takes on the cost and risk of reselling. If the offer is well below the part exchange value shown, that is worth questioning.
