About this deal

Normally we allow about 50-60% of the original option value after the first year. However, after five years the value of options is reduced to around 20-25% and at around 7 years, options add little or no value to the vehicle [ but can make it easier to sell]. At Parkers, our car valuation guide only lists the options that do increase a car’s value – helping you to calculate a more realistic price. A: Even though they can make a car more attractive to a potential buyer, not all added options fitted to a vehicle will guarantee an increase in value when you come to sell. Options such as body kits, cosmetic additions, LED headlamps, headlamp washers, uprated stereo and in some cases alloy wheels, don’t really enhance the price – but where they do, you’ll be given the chance to select them when performing a valuation. The added value of options reduces considerably as the car’s age increases.

However, if you want the exact spec of the car you want reflected in the valuation (for instance if the car has optional extras or an above- or below-average mileage), you can get that from one of our premium paid-for valuations. Q: Can I get a valuation on my car from previous years – i.e ‘What was my car worth in June 2018?‘ Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, Company number: LP003328; Category D – Now ‘CAT N’ (Non-structural). A damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair possibly because it falls within the ‘BER’ ‘Beyond Economical Repair’ category. The normal problem being, that to replace any parts would be more expensive than the car is worth and the decision is generally based on economic criteria rather than the severity of the damage. However, the car could be repaired and returned to the road.Make sure you get the best deal by getting an accurate valuation for your car. The Parkers car valuation calculator is a simple-to-use and extremely powerful tool. It gives you independent prices and accurate values on all UK registered cars from [and including] 2003/53 plate to the most current 2023/73 plates, using results from a massive number of transactions. Our team of independent experts visit hundreds of car dealers and auctions every month to research the actual selling price of thousands of cars.

A: Absolutely, yes. We’re more than happy to assist with any questions you have regarding the valuation of your vehicle although we don’t offer a one-to-one telephone support service.A: When you get a free valuation from Parkers, you get two ranges of values based on a standard mileage and equipment tally. You are presented with the private value, which is the typical price you’ll pay for a car in a private sale. What you can reasonably expect is a car with some or full-service history, few or no mechanical issues, decent bodywork and a reasonable amount of MoT left on it. You also get an expected dealer price, for which you can expect a car with a warranty, and for it to have no major mechanical, bodywork or paint issues. We get asked lots of questions about car valuations and how they work for you. Below, you can read our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), which should tell you everything you need to know about our car valuations. Q: Trust: Why should I value my car with Parkers? We cover vans and light commercials from and including 2008/08 plate [March 2008] onwards currently to 2023/73. A: Category C – Now ‘CAT S’ (Structural). An extensively damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road. The DVLA will require confirmation that the vehicle is now roadworthy and repairs carried out to a minimum standard. There is a certain amount of paperwork involved and a VIC Inspection and ‘Vehicle Identity Form’ must be completed.

Remember that mileage and [some] options can make a significant difference to how much your car is worth – sometimes adding hundreds or even thousands of pounds to a value, so it can pay to get a fully adjusted car valuation. Q: I have a classic car – can you provide a valuation?When it comes to damage, because the amount of variables is so great, there is no fixed pricing structure or formula. For example, a car with panel damage, kerbed alloys etc will fall into the ‘Private Poor’ category. A car which has only minor damage [failed electric windows is a good example] should obtain a pricing level just below ‘Private Good’. Normally, a price somewhere in the middle ground between ‘Private Good’ and ‘Private Poor’ will be a good indication but ultimately, it’s down to the amount of damage or the amount of non-working items the car has.
