Battery health
The biggest value driver. Standard Range LFP packs hold up especially well under private-hire duty; Long Range packs degrade a little more. A battery health report lifts the offer.
Tesla Model 3 specialist
The Tesla Model 3, original or Highland. Private hire or chauffeur, priced on battery health, plate and spec. Offer in two hours, paid the same day.

The short answer
Battery health is the biggest value driver on a Model 3. Standard Range LFP packs hold up especially well under private hire duty, while Long Range packs degrade a little more, and a battery-health report lifts the offer. Hardware version matters too: HW3 cars carry strong demand for FSD-eligibility and HW4 Highland cars command a small premium, with transferable Autopilot or FSD adding more. Active private hire examples often show 100,000 to 200,000 miles and Supercharger duty ages the drivetrain gently, so we price on battery, body and plate, not a cap. A live TfL private hire plate adds the licensed-trade premium, and we ask you to document any kerb-rash on the low-profile alloys honestly. No algorithm. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours. Free UK collection, same-day payment, no buyer fees.

A live TfL private-hire plate adds licensed-trade premium. Body condition matters because the weight and low-profile alloys are hard on tyres and bumpers, so document kerb-rash honestly.

Common questions
Yes. A working private hire Model 3 at 200,000 miles is a normal-shape vehicle in the 2026 trade; the drivetrain is genuinely durable. We price on battery SOH + body condition + plate-fitment, not an algorithmic mileage cap. Tesla's 8-year / 100,000 (Standard) or 120,000 (Long Range) mile battery warranty is transferable; remaining warranty months affect the offer materially.
Yes, under current Tesla policy as of 2026, FSD is tied to the vehicle, not the owner. A Model 3 with paid FSD commands a meaningful premium on resale because the feature transfers. Documentation of the FSD purchase in your Tesla account is the evidence the next owner needs.
Both sell well. Hardware 4 trades higher for its remaining warranty and newer build, but Hardware 3 cars with paid FSD or low miles often beat base Hardware 4 cars on value. For chauffeur buyers, the Highland interior matters more than the hardware version.
LFP packs degrade more slowly under private hire deep-discharge use and are less prone to range loss in cold weather. LR NCA packs have higher headline range but show typical EV degradation curves. In the 2026 trade, LFP Standard Range cars often command stronger resale per kWh remaining than Long Range cars at the same age and mileage.
Yes, indirectly. UK Tesla Model 3 cars retain Tesla Supercharger network access automatically (no extra step), which is a meaningful value driver for private hire drivers who use the network for shift charging. We price the supercharger access into the offer as part of the Tesla-ecosystem value the next owner inherits.
