Car insurance policyholders who fail to look after the interior of their vehicle could lose up to £500 when they come to sell it, research shows.
A report by Carsite.co.uk found that poorly maintained trims and upholstery could be costing motorists up to £500, while a messy interior devalues a vehicle by between £300 and £400.
Cracked or chipped windscreens are also a problem for car insurance policyholders, as they can reduce the asking price of a vehicle by £250 to £300.
Choosing an undesirable colour is also a bad idea when buying a new or used car, as this can reduce the selling on price by up to £500.
“A well-maintained car is the best way to get a good resell valuation and fill your buyer with confidence,” said Alistair Jeff, of Carsite.co.uk.
Last week, Protyre warned Car insurance policyholders that the cold weather could be doing damage to vehicles that is less visible but just as problematic.
