What criteria are used to determine the trade-in offer?
To ensure you receive a fair and accurate valuation, we look at a variety of factors. A vehicle's value is determined first and foremost by its make, model, and engine type, followed by several key details:
- age & registration: The year the car was first registered (e.g., the registration plate/year).
- mileage: The total mileage on the odometer. Lower mileage typically increases a vehicle's value.
- specification & trim level: The specific model variant (e.g., Techno, Iconic) and any factory-fitted optional extras or technology.
- overall condition: The physical state of the exterior bodywork, interior upholstery, and tyres, taking into account any minor scuffs or dents.
- service history: A well-documented service record (ideally a full service history) can positively impact your car's value.
- market demand: Current UK used car market trends and the popularity of your specific model.
