Vehicle value swings of up to £7,000 could leave policyholders ...

Vehicle value swings of up to £7,000 could force insurers and drivers to revisit how they set cover, according to data from Percayso Inform’s Vehicle Intelligence Platform. The report cites example resale movements that show large volatility: an electric Audi Q7 saw its average resale value rise from £37,240 in June 2025 to £43,940 in June 2026, up nearly £7,000. By contrast, a Range Rover Evoque fell by a little over £5,000 over the same 12 months. Across a wider set of models, Mercedes-Benz E-Class increased from £31,160 to £38,380, while Audi Q3 rose from £23,740 to £29,060, Kia Cee’d climbed from £12,769 to £15,980, and Dacia Sandero Stepway went from £10,450 to £12,360. The article warns that policyholders using agreed value could receive less than current worth if prices rise, and that insurers face underwriting risk when valuations change rapidly between renewals and losses.
