What is a vehicle valuation?

A vehicle valuation is an estimate of what your car is worth right now. A good valuation does not just look at the make, model and year. It also weighs up mileage, condition, service history and what similar cars are actually selling for today. Car Owl uses AI together with live UK market data to give you a clear, up to date figure for your exact vehicle, whether you plan to sell privately, part-exchange or simply want to know where you stand.

Stories From People Just Like You

Good site and very helpful. I found what I needed and will recommend the site to friends.

Very good and easy too use as a company

Car Owl gave an instant report to me flagging an issue with the car I was about to buy. This helped me take the right decision.

Gave me all the information I needed in one place.

Easy to use service that presented data in a clear and easy to consume way. Would happily use again and recommend to others.

Great service for instant and clear reports on a car with way more details than expected. Definitely recommended.

A clear and precise report.

My second time using car owl , and certainly didn’t disappoint, they guys really do take out all the hard work, great effective services highly recommend

Brilliant tool that helped me feel confident about buying a used car. I was able to check out the history of the vehicle before seeing it, to ensure I knew the info given was correct, and check it had no hidden issues. The fact that the check goes deep enough to show previous number plates that have been on a vehicle and at what time etc just shows the quality. Once I was with the car and happy I wanted to proceed, I was able to enter the vin number onto the report and it confirmed that it was in fact the correct car. Hoping not to buy a car any time soon but will definitely use again when I do.

Found a car I really liked online and was about to put down a deposit, but thought I’d run a quick Car Owl check first just to be sure. Turned out the mileage had been tampered with and it had failed multiple inspections in the past. The ad made it look spotless. Honestly can’t believe how much info the report showed. Would’ve never known otherwise. Car Owl probably saved me thousands. Honestly, don’t skip it

Revealed the car was still on finance. Without Car Owl I would have been stuck paying off someone else's loan. Highly recommend

Good site and very helpful. I found what I needed and will recommend the site to my friends and colleagues.

Professional & faultless service. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Would definitely recommend anyone to use Car Owl services!

Very good very quick and on the ball report

Motorcycle vin with only 7 characters was causing issues with background checks and correct registration. This was the only company that provided the correct information. Recommended

Got all the information on my car. for a good price

I used this to find the registration for a project car that I bought with no documentation so I could send off a v62… old vin so most places couldn’t help. But this came straight back with all of the relevant information 👌

Stopped be buying a potential stolen vehicle. So well worth the cost of getting it checked

First rate (indeed- unbelievable- instant) response to emails. Brilliant Customer Service- RATE for this day and era. Their Customer Service demonstrates that Big Firms CAN have a personal relationship with their Inquirers. Brilliant Customer Service. Simply outstanding. Ad multos annos to all at Car Owl.

Really worth paying for this detailed background check. Gave me sufficient information to make a better informed decision and after the checks were done we decided not to buy the vehicle. Money well spent!

Really pleased with the app. Actually found some information that I have been trying to find for a while.

Very good service

Good found out what I needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is an AI vehicle valuation

Our AI valuation uses live UK market prices alongside your car's mileage, condition and service history, making it far more accurate than a simple book price. It is a strong guide to what your car is worth, though a physical inspection always gives the final word.

Is the vehicle valuation free

Yes. Car Owl's AI vehicle valuation is completely free. You can run up to five valuations per day at no cost and with no obligation to sell.

What do I need to value my car

Just your registration number or VIN to start. We then ask a few quick questions about mileage, condition and history so the AI can tailor the valuation to your exact car.

How is this different from other car valuation tools

Most tools give every car of the same model the same price. Our AI looks at your specific car and what comparable vehicles are actually selling for right now, so the figure is built around your car, not an average.

Can I sell my car after getting a valuation

Yes. Once you have your valuation you can list your car for free to over 460 verified UK dealers, or run a full history check to reassure private buyers.
