Frequently asked questions
Minor wear and tear like small scratches, stone chips, or car park dents won't drastically affect your valuation. We expect normal signs of use on older vehicles. However, larger dents, deep scratches, or panel damage will reduce the offer. Being honest about these helps us give you an accurate quote from the start.
Lower mileage generally means higher value, but it's not just about the total miles. We look at annual mileage compared to the car's age - a 5-year-old car with 100,000 miles suggests heavy use, whilst 30,000 miles indicates lighter driving. Very low mileage can sometimes indicate lack of use, which has its own issues.
Yes, colour can make a difference to your car's value. Popular colours like white, black, silver, and grey typically hold their value better, whilst unusual or bright colours might be worth slightly less. However, for luxury or sports cars, rare colours can sometimes increase value. We factor this into our valuation automatically.
A full service history shows your car has been well-maintained, which can significantly increase its value. Cars with regular servicing from main dealers or reputable garages are worth more than those without records. Don't worry if you've lost some paperwork - just tell us what you remember about recent services or repairs.
