How do car valuations work?

A car valuation works by assessing your vehicle’s registration, mileage and current market demand to produce a realistic guide price. This information is compared with recent sales of similar vehicles, taking into account factors such as age, condition and specification. Online valuations provide an initial estimate, with a final price typically confirmed after a physical inspection to ensure the vehicle matches the details provided. If you have any queries during this process, please feel free to give our team a call, use our enquiry form or visit our dealerships and we will be happy to help.
