Professional Probate Valuations for Cars & Motorbikes
Managing an estate is challenging, but valuing vehicles for probate doesn’t have to be. At Swift Values, we provide expert, HMRC-compliant valuations for all types of cars and motorbikes — whether you’re a solicitor administering an estate or an executor handling a loved one’s affairs.
From everyday family cars and modern hybrids to classic cars, prestige models, scooters and motorbike collections, our specialists can assess vehicles quickly and accurately through both our online and in-person services.
Not sure where to begin? Our online vehicle valuation offers a clear open-market estimate based on the registration number and photos you provide, and highlights whether any car or motorbike warrants a closer inspection or a full in-person appraisal.

Choose the Right Valuation Approach for Your Cars & Motorbikes
Whether you’re dealing with a single car or motorbike or an entire collection, we offer two probate valuation services to suit your needs — a quick, convenient online option or a detailed in-person appraisal when greater accuracy is required.
From Online Valuation – From £25+VAT
Our online service is ideal if you’re unsure what a vehicle is worth or whether it needs a full appraisal. Upload photos and the registration number, and one of our probate specialists will provide a fast, HMRC-compliant valuation — often the perfect starting point before deciding if an in-person inspection is required.
You can submit a single car or motorbike, or multiple vehicles as needed. Priced at £25+VAT per vehicle.
Simply add the photos, the reg, and we’ll do the rest.
In-Person Valuation – From £249+VAT
For high-value vehicles or larger collections, our in-person service provides a full appraisal at the property where the cars or motorbikes are located. A qualified valuer will inspect, photograph, and document each vehicle on-site, delivering a comprehensive HMRC-compliant report within around seven days.
