vehicle valuation – is the price right? DEKRA evaluates vehicles properly

When it comes to determining the purchase, sale or replacement value of motor vehicles, you’ve come to the right place: we have the expert knowledge to value vehicles properly.

We make reliable statements about the condition of the vehicle during the vehicle valuation. All vehicle details are recorded and all value-relevant factors are documented in a comprehensible manner and taken into account in terms of value. We thus offer a reliable basis for determining the value of a vehicle when buying or selling it.

You can contact us by phone through our service number. But you can also contact one of our DEKRA branch offices. One of our experts will then contact you directly and make you a concrete offer.

Vehicle valuation by computer (car, TRP, GLW, KRAD)

We determine the following values for cars, vans up to 3.5 t (without special bodies) as well as motorcycles and off-road vehicles, depending on their intended use:

Dealer purchase value (TCV)
Dealer sales value (HVK)
replacement value (WBW)

In this service, all vehicle details are recorded and carefully documented with the help of EDP. All value-relevant factors are checked, documented in a comprehensible manner and taken into account in terms of value:

General vehicle data (such as model, first registration, mileage)
Standard and optional equipment
Value increasing factors (like AT-aggregates, value increasing repairs)
Necessary repairs (such as damage, wear and tear of safety-related and other parts, missing inspections)
Missing parts (such as removed or dismantled standard accessories, incomplete on-board tools)
Decrease in value from previous damage (repaired accident damage)

The vehicle is subjected to a critical inspection of the interior, engine and trunk as well as the body including a check of the underside with the chassis. We also check the function of equipment parts and test the vehicle during a test drive.

Service for lease returns

We determine the condition of cars, vans up to 3.5 t (without special bodies) as well as motorcycles and off-road vehicles for you.

If the condition of a vehicle deviates from the standard due to damaged parts or accident damage, the EDP condition report is used to clarify the extent to which necessary repairs or previous accidents contribute to the reduction in value.

This service is designed in particular to process transactions for lease returns with a contract in which a residual value has been firmly agreed and only factors that increase or decrease in value need to be taken into account.

We document the following facts:

General vehicle data (such as version, first registration, mileage)
Standard and special equipment
Value-increasing factors (such as AT units, value-increasing repairs)
Necessary repairs (such as damage, wear of safety-relevant and other parts, missing inspections)
Missing parts (such as removed or dismantled standard accessories, incomplete on-board tools)
depreciation from previous damage (repaired accident damage)

Your vehicle will be subjected to a critical examination of the interior, engine and trunk as well as the body including inspection of the underside with chassis. In addition, we check the function of equipment parts and undertake a short driving test (i.D.R. on the premises). The EDP-controlled condition report thus contains almost the same scope of services as a vehicle valuation, but only the lower values are shown. The purchase, sales or replacement value is not determined in this process.

Various factors are taken into account in the valuation process

DEKRA evaluates your commercial vehicles with IT support. These factors are taken into account:

General vehicle data
Equipment
Value-enhancing factors
Necessary repairs
Value reduction from previous damage

We also determine the following values:

Dealer purchase value
Replacement value (also as part of a damage appraisal if the 70 % limit is reached: repair costs / replacement value)

For vehicles that deviate significantly from the series, the assessment is prepared individually.

Commercial vehicle condition report

The large number of modern forms of financing in which the vehicle owner is not the same as the vehicle user generally requires a condition report on the vehicle after the agreed useful life has expired. A condition report details defects and the cost of repairing them.

Documentation for vehicle handover in accordance with the contract

We consider the following items in the commercial vehicle condition report:

Repair requirements and costs
Damage amount
Other defects
traces of use

The vehicle value is not reported in this inspection.

We determine the other values of recreational and special vehicles

The spectrum of recreational vehicles is broad. You can find out more about DEKRA’s vehicles and services here.

Residential vehicles

(camper trailers, camping trailers, motor homes, series, self-built, custom-built, mixed types such as horse transporters with living compartments).

caravans and motorhomes have a high emotional value. We create a comprehensible valuation for residential vehicles (series, self-built or extended) and determine the following factors:

dealer purchase value
Dealer sales value
Replacement value

fun vehicles and fun-mobiles

(trikes, quads, buggies)

The same valuation criteria apply to these vehicles as to residential vehicles. DEKRA determines the following values objectively and in line with the market:

dealer purchase value
Dealer sales value
Replacement value

Trailers for sporting purposes

(z. B. horse, boat and motorcycle trailers)

We provide an objective evaluation for this type of machine:

For insurance purposes, the replacement value
For the trade the purchase value

Manual vintage car appraisal creates certainty

We prepare manual appraisals (also called manual vehicle appraisals) for all vehicles that deviate in any way from the standard or for which no listings are available.

In these appraisals the vehicle is described in detail. In addition to the technical data, there is also a detailed description of the condition of all subassemblies. Details such as restoration work or conversions are also listed and – as far as traceable – documented.

After an extensive market research we determine the realistic market value for you. This gives you a precise basis for buying, selling and insurance.
