MG RV8 depreciation insights
The MG RV8 depreciation curve follows a fairly typical pattern for entry‑level sports cars:{strong} in the first year you can expect a loss of roughly 15-20% of its initial value. Generally, the depreciation curve then tapers off, with the vehicle dropping around 5-7% yearly thereafter, until it hits its long‑term floor after five to seven years.
Key factors that influence this depreciation include:
- Condition and mileage—cars with under 50,000 km and well‑maintained service histories retain value better.
- Trim level and options—the higher-spec 2.7‑litre variants often fetch slightly higher resale numbers.
- Market trends—sports cars sometimes experience a resurgence in popularity when used‑car inventories drop.
- Regional supply—markets with limited MG brand availability may see different depreciation patterns.
In practical terms, a 2003 MG RV8 that originally retailed at £10,000 (pre‑depreciation) would tend to trade in for roughly £7,500–£8,000 after its first year, before settling in the £6,000–£7,000 range for older models over the next few years.
