Free Audi Car Valuation

The free check decodes the VIN: make, model, year, engine and any open recall, with no sign-up. The full report adds DVLA and MOT history and confirmed identification.

Glass's Guide is the industry standard for dealers and insurers, and Parkers gives consumer guide prices — both statistical models. Automano's free check reports what the manufacturer encoded in the VIN; the paid report adds DVLA and MOT history.

Most UK insurers reference Glass's Guide or CAP HPI for total-loss payouts. You can dispute their valuation with comparable AutoTrader listings, a report with confirmed identity and history, and full service history.

Parkers gives a guide price, not a definitive value. Automano's free check tells you exactly what the car is; the report adds DVLA and MOT history before you set a price.

Automano gives you a free VIN decode with confirmed identification and official recalls, and a paid report that adds DVLA and MOT history plus confirmed identification.

Glass's Guide uses dealer transaction data; real sale prices vary by region and demand, by up to 20-30%. Automano's free check does not guess a price — it decodes what the car is, and the report adds DVLA and MOT history.

Plate lookup is not offered: enter the 17-character VIN. It is on the windscreen, the V5C or the door jamb.

Yes — the free VIN decode needs no email and no account. The report is delivered by email after purchase, and that address is used to send the PDF.

Depreciation depends on age, mileage, condition and accident history — as a rule a vehicle loses 20-25% in the first year, then about 15% a year. Automano's free depreciation calculator applies exactly that model if you want to work the number out yourself.

Book values use statistical models based on historical data, not real listing prices. Automano's free check does not estimate a price: it decodes what the car is. DVLA and MOT history come from the official registers.

The free decode is exact — it reports what the manufacturer encoded in the VIN. DVLA and MOT history in the report come from the official registers.

Glass's Guide updates monthly. Automano's free check has nothing to update — the VIN is fixed data. DVLA and MOT records in the report come from the official registers.

Yes. If a total-loss payout looks too low, provide evidence of real market value: comparable AutoTrader listings, a report with confirmed identity and history, and recent MOT certificates. The Financial Ombudsman Service can help if agreement fails.

Yes — depreciation varies by brand. German brands lose more in absolute terms but retain value as a percentage; Japanese brands depreciate least. Automano's free depreciation calculator applies the curves to your own figures.
