SignalAutomotive
UK car valuation

Price the exact car, not an average description.

Start with the registration and current mileage. Signal then keeps the derivative, condition and specification visible so you can understand the private-sale guide and likely part-exchange position.

Condition-adjusted

Four grades, with the movement shown.

Signal uses Good as its benchmark. The grade adjustment is shown as both a percentage and a cash amount in the result.

Excellent+3%

Exceptional presentation for age, with no material preparation expected.

GoodBenchmark

Normal retail-ready age-related condition; the starting grade.

Fair−6%

Visible wear, cosmetic work or maintenance required.

Poor−15%

Substantial defects, damage or preparation risk.

What you receive

A useful selling position, not one unexplained number.

01

Private-sale guide

A condition-adjusted guide for advertising the car yourself.

02

Part-exchange context

A lower buying position reflecting a trader’s preparation, risk and margin.

03

Evidence range

A range and evidence count that makes uncertainty visible.

04

Manual review

Photographs and history can be sent privately when the automated evidence is not precise enough.

Human review

Request a complete live valuation

Send the exact vehicle, condition and photo evidence to Signal for a manual market review. A licensed history check can be included where agreed; it is not run automatically.

VEHICLE / REGISTRATION LOOKUP

Identify the exact vehicle

Enter the registration first. Signal will retrieve and fill the vehicle details and available MOT mileage evidence automatically.

Make, model, registration year, fuel, engine capacity and available MOT mileage information will appear here after the lookup.

PHOTO EVIDENCE / 05

Five views needed for every complete valuation

Photograph the actual vehicle in good light. Registration plates may remain visible because the request is sent privately.

How pricing information helps Signal

Signal Automotive is an independent start-up building its own vehicle pricing system. Vehicle details and prices you choose to provide for valuation or optional pricing research help us develop and improve Signal’s estimates.

Asking prices and seller-reported outcomes remain labelled by their source; they are not treated as verified sales unless supported by suitable evidence. Optional research choices remain separate, and this acknowledgement does not sign you up to marketing.

Read the privacy notice for details about the information Signal uses and your choices.
