Sell your Tesla Model 3
The UK’s most traded Tesla, and the one where specification separates two cars of the same age by thousands. We value Model 3 on variant, wheels, software and condition — not just year and mileage.
Not every Model 3 is the same car.
Model year changes what a car is worth. We value the generation you actually own.
The original UK Model 3. Chrome trim on the earliest cars, then the 2021 update brought the heat pump, powered boot and revised interior. Buyers treat 2021-on cars noticeably differently.
The comprehensive refresh: new front and rear lighting, revised interior, indicator stalk changes and improved refinement. A different car to value.
Model 3 variants we buy
Every variant in the range, valued on its own market rather than a single model average.
Standard Range rear-wheel drive. The volume car, and the one where condition matters most because supply is highest.
Dual motor. Consistently the strongest residual across the range.
Track mode, uprated brakes and 20-inch wheels. Wheel and tyre condition carries more weight here.
What moves a Model 3 valuation
The six things a specialist checks on a Model 3 that a generic buyer usually will not.
- 01Wheels18-inch Aero, 19-inch Sport or 20-inch Überturbine. Kerb damage is the single most under-declared item on a Model 3.
- 02SoftwareEnhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capability. We ask whether it transfers rather than assuming either way.
- 03BatteryWarranty position against age and mileage, and any replacement or service history.
- 04PaintWhite is the volume colour, so paint condition is scrutinised more closely than on rarer finishes.
- 05InteriorBlack or white. White interiors are valued on condition — bolster wear and staining are visible.
- 06GenerationPre-Highland and Highland cars sit in different parts of the market.
