It's the average depreciation in the Spanish market for its engine, with the km it does and in normal condition. It doesn't come from real listings: some models hold their value better and others worse.
When to sell it?
The worst is over
The steep drop ended when it turned 3 years old. Since then it has lost less each year than the average of its first 10 years (2.100 €): as far as value goes, there's no rush to sell. Next year it will lose around 1.300 €.
This only looks at the loss of value. Keeping it longer also has costs: servicing, tyres and an ITV inspection every year from age 10.
And with another engine?
A car of its size (saloons and large SUVs) with the same age and km, at the typical new price for each engine. What it keeps in 5 years:
- Petrolnew 34.300 € · loses 1.280 € a yearkeeps 51 %
- Dieselnew 37.200 € · loses 1.360 € a yearkeeps 50 %
- Hybridnew 37.500 € · loses 1.520 € a yearkeeps 55 %
- Plug-in hybridnew 48.400 € · loses 1.660 € a yearkeeps 47 %
- Electricyoursnew 34.200 € · loses 1.000 € a yearkeeps 39 %
What it keeps, as a share of its new price. According to Ganvam, at 3 years an electric car is worth 23 % less than a petrol one; a plug-in hybrid, 9 % less, and a hybrid, 8 % more.
What it will be worth to the tax office
For taxes onlyIt's not what you'll get for it. The tax office takes the new price from its tables (34.200 €) and multiplies it by a fixed percentage depending on age: today, 47 %; in 2031, 19 %. It's the minimum base for ITP (transfer tax) if you sell it to a private buyer and for Inheritance and Gift Tax. It ignores mileage and condition, and from 12 years on it stays at 10 %.
