There are many factors that will affect the condition of your car - the age, mileage, condition, specification, warranty, and number of previous owners. Furthermore, seasonality can also affect what a vehicle is worth as a convertible is likely to be valued slightly higher in the summer months than during the depth of winter. To help you understand how we measure a vehicles price we split it into three categories – showroom condition, average condition, and below average condition. Below is a breakdown of how certain factors can influence which category your car might fall into and we would advise that you are as honest as possible at this stage to get a true picture of what your car is worth. Showroom Condition Requires no reconditioning, paintwork free from scratches, chips and dents. Similarly, the interior trim will need to be in unmarked condition. Wheels, Alloys and trims need to be unmarked and tyres a minimum of 5mm all round. Vehicle of original factory specification. The vehicle will require a full-service history and MOT. All current registration documents and a minimum of two keys. Please note all prices are used as a guide only and vehicles are subject to appraisal. Average Condition It will have service history and MOT certificate but will require some work done to bring it up to a suitable condition for sale. Although the car will be sound mechanically, the wheels, paintwork or bodywork may need minor attention. Please note all prices are used as a guide only and vehicles are subject to appraisal. Below Average Condition If your car has poor service history or less than a month remaining on your MOT certificate you should consider it as being in poor condition. A small percentage will be deducted from its value as a result. In addition, work will be required to fix dents, bumpers, wheel and paint damage. Mechanical issues may be present. Please note that all prices are used as a guide only and vehicles are subject to appraisal. How can I prepare my vehicle for sale? Clean your car It may seem obvious but getting out a bucket and sponge and making your car look as good as new will help it to appear more appealing. Keep your service records safe Ensure that you have all service history and MOT information to hand as not only does it help with the value but will need to be provided with the car at the point of sale. It would also be a good idea to have an up to date MOT carried out too. Check everything working? Check all the electrics to ensure that it is all working correctly. If not, it might be an idea to see whether it is financially viable to get elements repaired prior to trying to sell your car. Repair damage if you have damage on the car you may wish to consider getting it repaired prior to getting your car valued. Keep mileage low the lower the mileage the better, so if you can restrict your driving time to keep your miles lower this will help. Find your spare keys it is always helpful to have two keys so get them ready too. Frequently Asked Questions What will I need to hand to get my car valued?
