There are a few ways to learn the value of your car. There are a number of websites and platforms that offer free valuations on vehicles based on data collected from the registration number. They will look at things like mileage and the number of previous owners, among others, to offer you an up-to-date valuation. Often the website will tell you how much you could get if you were to sell it privately as well as the amount you might be offered if you part exchange.
There are a few things that can affect the value of your car i.e. if it is in a bad condition, wear and tear or deficient parts, are all likely to decrease its value. Gaps in service-history and the lack of an up-to-date MOT are also likely to bring the value down when it comes time to sell.
If you want to try and improve the value of your car, you can take some of these steps:
Have any minor dings or scratches repairs
Ensure the interior and exterior are clean and tidy
Ensure all your paperwork is in order
Provide service or work history
