Free car valuation

Valuing your car can require a bit of time and effort as you consider a range of factors including age, condition, service history and other particulars. You might still find your final figure is well off compared to an actual offer from a professional dealer.

So, don’t waste time with guesswork and ask a dealer instead, over 3,000 of them, with Motorway. Our car valuation tool is run on data based on the real-time marketplace activity of verified dealers, meaning the estimated sale price you will receive is totally up-to-date and based on industry trends. You just need your reg and mileage to get started.

There are plenty of car-buying sites that will provide you with a price for your car, but only Motorway gives you a valuation that is based on the trends happening in our very own dealer marketplace. That means we can give you a valuation that is always up to date and reflects the current buying habits of professional dealers.

Lots of factors impact how much your car is worth, including:

• Age
• Service history
• Mileage 
• Emissions rating
• Demand
• External factors like the 2030 electric switchover

The overall condition of your car in terms of maintenance is also key, so it’s always good to keep your vehicle looking its best with a car wash and wax. 

Precisely who you are selling your car to can also make a difference. Finding a private buyer can sometimes land you a higher price, as the figure doesn’t need to be adjusted for the dealer to make a margin. That said, in some instances, the time, effort and stress that comes with finding your own car buyer might make this difference in price seem negligible. 

Motorway’s valuations are powered by live data from our marketplace, so we use real dealer activity to create a realistic car valuation. It works — over 90% of sellers make their reserve price or receive even more.
