▸ Valuation · UK Network
procarvalue.co.uk is built for the trade side of UK vehicle data. The same lookups that sit behind retail checks, exposed at a pace that suits a forecourt or auction lane rather than a customer reading on a phone. Professional car valuation for dealers, traders and serious buyers. contracted UK provider data. From £1.99. What follows is the detail behind the lookup — sources, limits and the questions worth asking the seller.
Data sourced from DVLA, MIAFTR, contracted stolen-vehicle data and the UK lender register at lookup time.
Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.
Built and supported in the UK as part of the trade-facing side of the network.
If the settlement figure on an existing agreement exceeds the vehicle's market value, the difference has to be found in cash or rolled into the next agreement. Comparing the settlement letter against the valuation before committing to a change is the single most useful thing a PCP customer can do near the end of a term.
Where data density allows, the report includes a forecast value at 6 and 12 months from today, derived from the historic depreciation curve of the same model and trim. The forecast is shown as a range rather than a single number, because the underlying confidence varies widely between models with thick transaction histories and rare specifications with very few comparable sales.
A vehicle check returns information about the vehicle, not about people. Previous keepers appear only as a count and a sequence of dates; names and addresses are protected and are never returned. Your own search history is held against your account for support and dispute purposes and is not sold on.
/ Brand consolidation
procarvalue.co.uk has consolidated into Expert Car Check, the UK valuation and history service many of its users already cross-referenced. The data sources are unchanged: DVLA's vehicle record, DVSA's MOT history, MIAFTR for write-offs, contracted UK data providers for stolen-vehicle markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team and the support contact are the same. What's changed is that the work that was previously spread across several smaller brands now sits in one place, which keeps response times tight and the underlying registers maintained against current DVLA schemas. Bookmarks and historic links to procarvalue.co.uk continue to resolve here. If you were referred to procarvalue.co.uk by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

Reversible cosmetic changes are broadly neutral. Performance modifications narrow the buyer pool and usually reduce value, and they normally need declaring to an insurer. Modified vehicles are flagged as indicative rather than firm.
It's a forecast, not a guarantee. Confidence is high for high-volume models with thick transaction histories and lower for rare specifications. The forecast is shown as a range rather than a single number for that reason.
From a rolling window of UK transaction data: auction hammer prices, dealer trade-in figures and listed private adverts. Updated continuously rather than republished annually.
Trade is what a dealer pays another dealer or auction. Retail is the advertised forecourt price after preparation. Private is what a typical private seller actually achieves, sitting between the two.
