What we rate
9 factors · one ratingClearCar combines nine factors into a single rating from 0 to 100. Not every factor counts equally, and serious red flags such as accident damage or an admitted engine problem hold the overall rating down however good the price is. If an advert leaves things out, the data completeness indicator tells you. The model behind the rating is our own and is not published.
| Factor | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Price vs. market | How the asking price compares with the market value of comparable cars. |
| Condition & history | Accident and damage history, service records, inspection status and warning signs in the seller's description. |
| Mileage | How far the car has been driven for its age, and the wear that comes with it. |
| Age | How old the car is: depreciation, wear and corrosion risk. |
| Seller & protection | Who is selling: dealer or private, reputation and reviews, warranty and buyer protection. |
| Previous owners | How many keepers the car has had for its age. |
| Equipment | How well equipped the car is, with extra credit for sought-after features. |
| Emissions & running costs | Emission class and CO₂, and what they mean for running costs, low-emission zones and resale. |
