How This Works

Car depreciation is highest in the first year (typically 20–30% for mainstream cars) and slows each subsequent year. Depreciation is affected by make/model, mileage, condition and market demand. Premium brands often depreciate faster in percentage terms despite higher absolute value. Electric vehicles have shown high early depreciation due to rapid model development and battery concerns, though this varies significantly.

The best value-holding brands in the UK market consistently include: Toyota (particularly Land Cruiser and Hilux), Porsche (exceptional retention), MINI, Land Rover Defender, and Volkswagen Golf GTI. Japanese brands generally hold value better than European equivalents in the same segment. Diesel models have suffered significant value drops since the 2017 clean air zone changes. Avoid high-trim diesel SUVs purchased pre-2017 for the worst depreciation.
