The median sits below the average because a handful of higher recorded bids pull the average up. It describes this ended-listing sample only and is not a valuation comparable for a specific car.
Before you bid on one
- Work out a max bid for a specific Volvo V50 lot from its damage, repair cost and resale value, first analysis free
- The Volvo V50 passes its MOT first time in 60.4% of cases, from 30,103 real DVSA tests, below the 76.7% national average - worth budgeting for more than just the crash damage
- A typical DVSA-tested Volvo V50 is first registered around 2009 with about 130,266 miles by its test - check a specific lot's mileage against its age before you bid
- Don't assume this pass rate sets the price - MOT reliability barely predicts salvage price across the site as a whole, and the reason why matters more than the Volvo V50's own number
- Confirm the write-off category, finance and stolen status for a specific car, 5 credits
- Work out whether repairing beats selling
- Search the individual lots behind these figures (currently paused, see why)
- See which factor moves salvage price the most across the whole dataset
