What Trade and retail valuation means for you
Trade value is the lower figure, the offer a dealer makes when buying your car or taking it in part exchange. Retail value is the higher figure, the price they expect to ask a private buyer for the same car.
A private sale usually falls between the two. Condition, mileage, service history and MOT record all move a valuation, so check them before agreeing a price. Our Full Check (£9.99) includes a valuation.
