Why executors choose
Swift Values for car valuations

Most online motorbike valuations are not designed for probate.

Unlike ordinary cars, motorcycles can be much harder to compare using automated valuation tools. Values often depend on condition, originality, mileage, service history, modifications and demand from passionate collectors who may be looking for very specific makes, models or specifications.

For probate, HMRC requires a realistic open market value at the date of death, taking into account the bike’s actual condition, paperwork, keys, MOT history and overall presentation.

That’s why our valuers assess the actual motorcycle using photographs and supporting information, giving you a clear, defensible valuation you can submit with confidence.

No guesswork, no inflated online estimates, no second-guessing. Just a professional motorbike probate valuation, prepared properly.
