Modifications to a car can both positively and negatively impact what it is worth at resale.

Some modifications may make the car more aesthetically pleasing, which can result in the value being higher as it appeals more to a car enthusiast. However, modifications can also have a negative impact on the resale value as it adds more risk for the buyer and could be hiding previous damage.

Modifications to the car’s mechanics also increase the risk involved, as there’s no guarantee they’ve been carried out to a high standard.

By selling your car to UnwantedCars.co.uk, we guarantee to give you the best price possible. We transfer the money into your bank the same day, enabling you to buy your next car quicker and with more money in your pocket.

Before you part-exchange your vehicle at a dealership, or before you commit to a price at one of our competitors, you should value your car by entering your reg and a few additional details to get a price from us.

If you're looking to get the highest price for your car you should consider the following first:


  • Repair any damage - Ensuring your car is in good mechanical and aesthetic condition makes it more appealing to buyers, which can increase the value of your car.
  • Have an up-to-date MOT - If you have less than 6 months remaining on your current MOT, it can have a negative impact on how much your car is worth due to the new owner having to get an MOT shortly after purchasing the car.
  • Keep all service records - Being able to show that your car has been serviced at regular intervals by a reputable garage will show buyers that the car has been looked after and can improve the value.
  • Clean your car - A car that is clean is more appealing and can ensure that no dirt is confused as a deeper scratch or dent.
