The short answer
How much is my VW ID worth?
Battery health leads across the MEB range, and software runs it close: these cars depend on firmware for range and charging, so bring the current reading. Trim shapes demand, with Style and Pro Performance the private-hire sellers and the ID.7 Match and Pro S the chauffeur picks. The transferable 8-year battery warranty counts, and private-hire mileage is expected, not capped. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours. Free UK collection, paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, no fees for sellers.
What we look for
Four things that shape your ID offer.
Trim and option pack
Style and Pro Performance trims carry the most private-hire demand. ID.7 Match and Pro S are the chauffeur sellers; the Tourer estate carries a small premium.
Mileage in PHV context
Private-hire ID.3 and ID.4 examples often show 60,000 to 130,000 miles. We price on body, battery and plate, not a cap.
Software version + over-the-air history
ID cars depend on software for range, charging and infotainment. Cars on up-to-date software command a clear premium, so bring the current firmware reading.
Model breakdown
ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7.
VW ID.3 (2020+)
First VW EV on the MEB platform, hatchback body. Original 58 kWh and 77 kWh battery options, refresh in 2023 with improved cabin trim. Active PHV stock; year 4-5 of service for early UK examples. Strong mid-market PHV trade demand, particularly the Family trim with rear cabin spec.
Typical condition: 60,000-130,000 miles. Active PHV + private-driver retirement stock.
VW ID.4 + ID.5 (2021+)
Mid-size crossover SUV (ID.4) and the slightly-sportier-roofline ID.5 sister model. 58 kWh and 77 kWh batteries, Pro and Pro Performance variants. GTX dual-motor performance variant a different segment. ID.4 the volume PHV chauffeur choice; ID.5 the lower-volume style alternative.
Typical condition: 40,000-110,000 miles. Active PHV + chauffeur stock.
VW ID.7 + ID.7 Tourer (2024+)
The executive saloon and Tourer estate, replacing Passat for EV chauffeur use. 77 kWh and 86 kWh battery options. Strong chauffeur + airport-transfer demand because of the larger cabin and the Tourer's boot capacity. Pro S Match the volume executive trim. Resale still settling as fleet replacement cycles deliver stock.
Typical condition: 20,000-60,000 miles. Premium executive stock, building.
Common questions
VW ID FAQs.
Do you buy retired chauffeur ID.7 examples?+
Yes. The ID.7 Tourer estate in particular is in strong chauffeur-trade demand because it's the EV replacement for the Passat estate in airport-transfer fleets. We price on battery SOH + service history + remaining warranty; chauffeur-typical mileage does not penalise the offer.
ID.3 vs ID.4, which makes more sense for PHV resale?+
Usually the ID.4. The crossover body gives more passenger comfort and boot space than the ID.3 hatch. The ID.3 turns over more in private-driver hands; the ID.4 turns over more in the PHV trade. We buy both and price each to its strongest market.
My ID.3 was an early build (2020-2021). Range is poor. Is it worth less?+
Depends on whether software updates have been applied. Early MEB-platform ID.3 cars had software-driven range issues that later firmware (3.x onwards) resolved. A 2020 ID.3 brought up to current firmware spec recovers most of the original range. Bring the current firmware version reading; we price accordingly.
GTX performance variant resale, different from base ID.4?+
Yes. GTX dual-motor cars sell through performance-EV channels rather than the mainstream PHV trade. The 295 bhp, AWD and heavier rear suspension aren't what PHV operators want. We do buy GTX examples, but they sell differently, and the offer reflects that.
VW warranty on the MEB ID cars, what's the position?+
VW 3-year manufacturer warranty plus 8-year / 100,000 mile battery warranty, both transferable to subsequent owners. The 8-year battery warranty is the longer-term value driver; remaining months affect the offer materially. Document the service history honestly.
Fleet sale of multiple ID models, can you handle it?+
Yes. Fleet sales of 3+ vehicles go through our Fleet team rather than the individual driver flow. /fleet/submit lets you submit the registration list in one go; we come back within 4 working hours with a fleet-level offer. MEB-platform fleets are routine.
Selling to us, whatever you drive
How quickly will I hear back after I submit my reg?+
A real valuer reads your submission and comes back with a firm offer within two hours during opening hours (Mon to Sat, 8am to 8pm). There is no instant figure on the site, because a person prices the vehicle rather than a form.
How long does the offer stand?+
Your offer holds for at least 72 hours, and the exact expiry date is printed on the offer itself. If it lapses, ask and we re-quote with current figures.
Do you collect, and does collection cost anything?+
We come to you anywhere in the UK at no charge, at a time you choose. If you would rather drop the vehicle at our Bethnal Green office, that is fine too.
When and how do I get paid?+
Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, after inspection and agreement. There are no selling or admin fees. The price holds if the vehicle is as described. Any change is explained first, and you can say no.
What do I need to have ready on the day?+
The V5C logbook in your name, photo ID, both sets of keys and your UK bank details. Bring the service history and any finance settlement letter if you have them.
