Having a car regularly serviced can add as much as 26% to its sell-on value, it has been disclosed. With an average used car selling for £5,500, having a fully-stamped service book could be worth up to £1,500, said car parts company Kwik Fit. The company's survey of 2,026 adults showed that 34% would not buy a car unless it had a full service history, with those over-65 most keen to insist on this. Londoners were prepared to pay the most for a fully-serviced car, followed by Scottish drivers. Those in north east England, the West Midlands and Wales were the most relaxed about a vehicle's service history. Kwik Fit said last year saw the lowest number of used cars sold in a decade - 6.7 million. The company's customer services director, David White, said: "It's accepted that a fully-stamped service book will increase the re-sale value of a car but this research has been able to put a figure on it. "£1,500 is a significant number and makes a big difference to the value
of a car when an owner comes to sell. For a more expensive car 26% will equate to a very big number indeed. Motorists with
one or two stamps missing should bear in mind that some services will still carry a premium over none at all, particularly
if they've been carried out more recently." |
