Kentekencheck.nl calculates a depreciation value. We show you what the market asks right now.
Kentekencheck.nl lets you look up your car's daily value by number plate. The value is calculated using a depreciation formula based on RDW data: list price, year and mileage. The result is a theoretical figure, not a current market price.
With your plate number you also get the current market price from us: what comparable cars are currently being advertised for. No formula, no theoretical figure. Just what the market asks right now.

Why a formula falls short
A depreciation formula works with list price, age and mileage. What it does not include: current supply and demand. And that fluctuates considerably.
- ▸ Diesels. After the nitrogen crisis, demand for diesels dropped sharply. The formula did not keep up. Buyers paid less; the price list said otherwise.
- ▸ Electric cars. High demand and limited supply push popular EV prices above the formula. Subsidies and lease rules amplify that effect.
- ▸ Popular models. A Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Yaris retains its value better than the average formula suggests, purely due to consistent demand.
Only when both add up can you say something meaningful about the value: the price and the mileage both need to be in line with what the market asks right now.

Frequently asked questions

The formula provides a guideline, but does not account for current supply and demand. Popular models are sometimes sold for more than the formula indicates; for diesels or less sought-after models, the opposite can be true.
