Kentekencheck.nl calculates a daily value with a formula. We show the real market price.
Kentekencheck.nl retrieves RDW data via your plate and uses it to calculate a daily value: list price, year and mileage run through a depreciation formula. That figure is a theoretical approximation, not what a buyer is actually paying today.
Enter the same plate with us and you see the current market price: what comparable cars are actually advertised for right now on AutoScout24 and Marktplaats. No formula, just today's market.

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
Via your plate, Kentekencheck retrieves RDW data such as year and original list price, and uses a depreciation formula to calculate a daily value from it.
Not always. The formula doesn't account for current supply and demand. A popular model may be worth more than the formula says, a less sought-after model less.
