What can effect your cars value?

Simply enter your registration number on this page, confirm a few details such as mileage and condition, and you’ll receive an instant online valuation. You can then decide whether to book an appointment at your nearest Chorley Group dealership.

Your valuation is valid for a set period (usually several days), giving you time to think things through and arrange your visit. If the market or your car’s mileage changes significantly after this period, you may need to request a new valuation. If you have any other questions about this, speak to one of our Chorley Group Team and we will explain everything.

No. There is absolutely no obligation to sell. You are free to use the valuation as a guide to your car’s current market value and decide what to do next.

Once the sale is agreed and all paperwork is completed, payment is processed electronically to your bank account. Funds usually clear within a few working days, depending on your bank. If you have chosen to part exchange your car, the value of your current car will be taken off the value to the car you are going into next. This all depends on outstanding finance.

To help your appointment go smoothly when you visit Chorley Group to drop off your car, you should bring:

• V5C logbook (in your name and correct address)
• A valid photocard driving licence or other photo ID
• Proof of address (such as a recent utility bill or bank statement)
• Service history and MOT certificates
• All sets of keys and any locking wheel nut

If you have outstanding finance, also bring your latest finance statement or settlement letter.

Yes, in many cases you can. We’ll work with your finance provider to obtain a settlement figure and discuss your options. If your car’s value exceeds the settlement amount, you can keep the difference or use it as a deposit on your next car. If you need help with this, you can speak to one of our team and we will be able to help you in the process.

We will consider most vehicles, but the car must be able to start and be safely moved. If your vehicle is a non-runner or has significant damage, please speak to your local Chorley Group dealership in advance so we can advise you on the best next steps.

If your car has a private registration you want to keep, you should arrange to transfer it with the DVLA before completing the sale. Once the plate has been retained or transferred, we can proceed with the vehicle’s standard registration.

Your car should have a valid MOT on the day you hand it over. If your MOT has expired or is due soon, it is often worthwhile arranging a test before selling, as a fresh MOT can help reassure any buyer and may support a stronger valuation.
