With the value of old diesel vehicles plunging in Australia, the second-hand car market in the Australia is in a slight stagnation period. Other disruptions in the market are coming, including Brexit and with plans for no diesel or petrol cars by 2040, we are not likely to see a huge surge in a diesel car or van prices anytime soon. Taking this into account, now may be a good time to ask “how much is my car worth?” and we’ll look at all the factors when it comes to car valuation.

Condition, Appearance, and Interiors

The condition of your vehicle is a very important aspect, especially if you’ve gone down the route of selling your car online via. eBay or some other platforms, as buyers will judge the state of the vehicle by its outward presentation.

Therefore, you want to make sure your vehicle looks appealing as possible and iron out as best as possible, obviously this is not something a novice will be able to do and will have to be taken to a garage for any permanent fixes incurring a cost.

How Old a Car is

If your car was made after 2001 you should be able to identify the age by the registration number.

With any car made before 2001, this should be the last character on your licence plate ranging from the letter A to Y.

Age is a factor in the value of your car but not the be-all and end-all of your valuation.

Mileage

Through some services, the greater the mileage – the lower the value of the car, the customer sees high mileage vehicles as having the most wear and tear.

Therefore, you may be thinking that if your car is above the annual average then you’d be looking at selling for a bargain price.

However, this isn’t exactly fair and the best practice is to get in contact with a certified vehicle expert as the valuation isn’t as simple as the above and there are other ranking factors when it comes to valuation.
