Performing a Long Valuation

A long valuation is a valuation performed using the full range of search tree and valuation module options, when an exact replacement value for a very specific vehicle is required. A long valuation is very useful for finalising a total loss decision for fleet management or car dealers and other situations where specific vehicle details are important.

When performing a long valuation you can enter a much wider range of information:

Of course, you can decide how much information to enter. You may, for example, only wish to add details of repairs and aggregates. However, the more details you add, the more accurate the vehicle valuation will be.

You can view details of the long valuation by clicking Display Valuation in the Results section of the Calculation Output page. You can also create a report containing these details and if configured, choose whether to store the report as an attachment. Refer to Viewing Valuation Results and Creating a Valuation Report for more information.

Note: If you have already performed a vehicle valuation and have changed either the first registration date, Eurotax key or mileage, when you return to the Vehicle valuation page the system will display the following error message: The valuation input data has changed. You must choose whether to copy your changes to the Vehicle valuation page by clicking Update or ignore the changes and retain the current data by clicking Cancel. If you click Update, you should perform the valuation again.
