An EPC rating (Energy Performance Certificate rating) is a measure of a building's energy efficiency, indicating how much energy it uses for heating, cooling, lighting, and hot water. The rating is represented by a letter scale from A to G, where A is the most energy-efficient (and environmentally friendly), and G is the least efficient.

We use real-time data to calculate your car’s value, including the latest market trends and pricing information. The valuation is based on your car’s make, model, and mileage. While we do our best to provide an accurate estimate, please remember this valuation is meant as a guideline and isn’t guaranteed.
6. Car Value Estimate
Your valuation may not be available because there isn’t enough market data for your vehicle. This can happen if the vehicle is rare, has limited sales history, or if the information provided was incomplete.
6. Car Value Estimate
Each valuation serves a different purpose:
· Buy: This is the estimated price you’d pay to purchase the car.
· Sell: This is the amount you could expect to receive if selling the car, which is typically lower than the buy price.
· Insure: This value reflects the car’s worth for insurance purposes, factoring in depreciation and replacement costs.
The figures vary because buying, selling, and insuring a car involve different criteria and calculations.
