Honda (UK) has joined forces with CAP and launched an online used car valuation tool, allowing owners of any UK registered car to obtain a valuation within seconds.

This complimentary tool has been created to supply impartial and invaluable information when users are thinking about changing their car.

All the data is supplied and regularly updated by CAP and works on all makes and models. The valuation tool can also be accessed via the used car or new car pages of the Honda website, or direct from a search engine.

On the first screen, users are asked to fill in their contact details plus information on the car, including registration number and mileage. They can also specify whether they plan to part-exchange, sell outright to a dealer or dispose of the vehicle privately. After submitting the form, users will then be given the opportunity to view their CAP part-exchange valuation.

However, the tool takes no account of the individual car's condition, so is presented as a range of values. Users are instructed to contact their nearest Honda dealer to get a more accurate price. Only one valuation per customer per month is allowed.

Olivia Dunn, head of marketing at Honda (UK), said: "Getting your current car valued is the first step on the road to replacing it and can be stressful, so by offering this service direct from our website and linking it to our new car and ‘approved used' ranges, we hope to make the purchase process as smooth and easy as possible."
