Factors That Can Negatively Affect Your Car's Value

Understanding these factors can help you maintain your car's value

Age

The value of a car decreases significantly within the first three years after it's registered, with the sharpest decline occurring in the first year.

Mileage

High mileage is one of the most influential factors in the depreciation of a vehicle's value. Cars with high mileage generally attract lower offers.

Service History

A complete and up-to-date service history is crucial for maintaining a car's value. Vehicles with full records are valued higher.

Market Trends

The value of a car is heavily influenced by market demand, which can fluctuate due to various factors like supply shortages and economic conditions.

Fuel Type

The transition to electric vehicles is reshaping the car market. The value of petrol, diesel, and hybrid cars is increasingly uncertain.

Modifications

Modifications, whether cosmetic, mechanical, or performance-based, often reduce a car's appeal. Most buyers prefer original specifications.

Previous Owners

The fewer owners a car has had, the more desirable it is to buyers. Cars with only one owner since new are particularly attractive.

Accident History

If a car has been involved in a major accident or flood, even if fully repaired, its value is likely to drop significantly.
