Free Car Valuation

There are a number of reasons why you might want to get a car valuation, including:

• Help you to set a realistic asking price when selling.
• Negotiate the best deal if part exchanging .
• Avoid overpaying when buying a car.

Help you to ensure that you’re adequately insured.

At BigWantsYourCar.com, all you need to arm yourself with is your car’s registration number and a couple of photos and we’ll do the car valuation for you – all for free. You can get your car valuation in the time that it takes to flick the kettle on and make a brew. You don’t even have to leave your home.

1. Enter your registration number in the box at the top of this page
2. Provide us with a few photos

We’ll take care of the rest. Based on this information you’ll get a valuation from us that’s valid for 7 days, so you’ve got plenty of chances to mull the offer over. Once you’ve seen how good our valuations are, though, you won’t be turning it down!

When you say to us, ‘value my car,’ there are a number of factors that we will take into consideration to determine a fair price. These include:

• Make and model
• Age
• Current mileage
• Overall condition
• Wear and tear (scuffs, scratches, dents, rust etc)
• Service history
• Specification and modifications
• Number of previous owners
• What fuel it uses
• The current state of the second-hand car market

Obviously, the better condition the car is in and the more paperwork that you have to back up the car’s history, the higher the valuation will be. A car that is minty fresh and has all the relevant paperwork will always fetch much more than a car that has been abused and has no service history to speak of.

If you have the car’s V5C registration document, MOT certificate, receipts for any work that you’ve had done, and any/all service history then this will definitely have a positive impact on the valuation that you are given.

No. Other companies may give you a car valuation and then try to short-change you once they’ve got you interested, but that’s not the Big way. Once we’ve given you a valuation, that figure is final, and you get a full week to consider it and do your research before you accept.

Finding out how much your car is worth is easy with BigWantsYourCar.com. All you’ve got to do is fire over your reg number, some car information and a few photos. No need to leave your house or speak to pushy salespeople – just send us the details and we’ll do the rest.

CAT N and CAT S are vehicle insurance write-off categories that replaced the old Cat C and Cat D groups in 2017. CAT N stands for non-structural damage, while CAT S stands for structural damage.

CAT N cars have sustained non-structural damage, such as damage to the bodywork, bumpers, or interior. This type of damage can be repaired and the car can be returned to the road.

CAT S cars have sustained structural damage, such as damage to the chassis, frame, or roof. This type of damage is more serious and requires more extensive repairs. CAT S cars must be inspected and approved by the DVLA before they can be returned to the road.

At BigWantsYourCar.com, we are not able to offer valuations on CAT cars.

Mileage is one of the most important factors that affect a car’s value. As a general rule, cars with lower mileage are worth more than cars with higher mileage. This is because cars with lower mileage are typically in better condition and have less wear and tear.

There are a number of factors that can reduce a car’s value, including:

• Age: Cars depreciate in value over time, so older cars are typically worth less than newer cars.
• Condition: Cars in good condition are worth more than cars in poor condition. Factors such as bodywork damage, interior wear and tear, and mechanical problems can all reduce a car’s value.
• Mileage: As mentioned above, cars with lower mileage are typically worth more than cars with higher mileage.
• Popularity: Cars that are more popular are typically worth more than cars that are less popular.
• Demand: Cars that are in high demand are typically worth more than cars that are in low demand.

Optional extras can have a significant impact on a car’s value. Popular options such as air conditioning, alloy wheels, and sunroofs can all add value to a car. However, it’s important to note that not all options are created equal. Some options, such as upgraded stereo systems and performance modifications, may not add as much value to a car as others.

Our car valuation tool is designed to give you an accurate estimate of the current market value of your car. We take into account a number of factors, including the car’s make, model, year, mileage, condition, and optional extras.

You can always count on BigWantsYourCar.com for fair, honest and fully accurate car valuations and quotes – with us, you won’t be ripped off.
