Factors that can influence your car’s value

Together with our partners Cartell, we use data from thousands of Carzone's live and historic stock to calculate the estimated market value of a car. Carzone car valuations are recommended for guidance purposes only. We use details such as the year and mileage to work out the approximate market value, however there are many other factors that may impact the car’s value including the following.

Car condition

The values we provide are indicative amounts that consider the impact of the vehicle's condition. A well-maintained car with no damage will be worth more than one with scratches, dents, or other damage. Condition ratings of Excellent, Good, and Fair indicate how the condition can affect the price you can achieve.

Service history

A car that has a full-service history from a trusted dealership, will be worth more than a car with no service history or track record of maintenance. Similarly, an up to date NCT certificate and motor tax disc can raise the car’s value.

Outstanding issues

If there is a part not working or a fault with the engine or electrical systems, it will negatively affect the price of the car. Before selling a car, it is recommended to fix any outstanding issues.

Previous owners

The number of previous owners can impact the overall value. A car with one or two previous owners may have a stronger resale value than a car that has had many owners.
