What is the ANWB Koerslijst and does it match the market?

The ANWB Koerslijst, developed together with BOVAG, is the best-known car valuation tool in the Netherlands. You enter your plate or make, model and year and get back a daily value. That daily value is not a snapshot of the market, it's the result of a depreciation formula based on list price, age and mileage.

We don't calculate a formula. We show what comparable cars are actually costing right now on AutoScout24 and Marktplaats. For popular models that market price is often higher than the koerslijst; for models with plenty of supply it's often lower.

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

What is the ANWB Koerslijst?

The ANWB Koerslijst is a tool, developed by ANWB and BOVAG, that calculates a car's daily value using a depreciation formula: list price minus a percentage per year and per kilometre.

How accurate is the ANWB Koerslijst compared to the market?

The formula doesn't account for current supply and demand. A popular model may be worth more on the market than the koerslijst says; for less sought-after models it can be the other way round.

Where do I see the current market price alongside the koerslijst?
