Value drop and list price in Norway

By model year

Each row is one model year: approval rate, how often dangerous and major defects appear, and how many inspections sit behind the numbers.

Year	Pass rate	Dangerous defects	Major defects	Inspections
2017	55.8%-12.9%	2.1 %+1.2%	43.2 %+12.1%	95
2016	52.0%-12.0%	2.4 %+1.3%	47.1 %+11.4%	123
2015	48.1%-12.0%	3.4 %+2.2%	51.5 %+11.8%	262
2014	42.9%-10.7%	1.8 %+0.1%	57.1 %+10.9%	170
2013	47.2%-3.3%	0.5 %-1.4%	52.8 %+3.5%	648
2012	43.3%-1.3%	2.4 %+0.1%	56.2 %+1.1%	633
2003	3.7%-20.7%	3.7 %-0.6%	96.3 %+20.7%	27

Dangerous defects: failed inspection. Major defects: serious remarks—not the same as dangerous.

By mileage

The same metrics grouped by mileage band—approval, defects and counts per bracket—so you can sanity-check patterns against how far your car has driven.

Km range	Pass rate	Dangerous defects	Major defects	Inspections
< 50,000 km	63.3%-16.9%	2.3 %+1.9%	36.3 %+16.6%	215
50–100k km	47.0%-21.3%	1.5 %+0.5%	52.6 %+21.1%	830
100–150k km	40.5%-12.0%	2.5 %+0.6%	59.2 %+12.0%	687
150–200k km	32.8%-7.5%	0.8 %-2.0%	67.2 %+7.7%	241
200k+ km	35.6%+5.7%	3.4 %-0.5%	64.4 %-5.6%	59

Dangerous defects: failed inspection. Major defects: serious remarks—not the same as dangerous.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to use Sonja?

Getting an offer from Sonja costs nothing: valuation, follow-up, and collection are free. We do not charge commission—we buy the car directly from you. The offer applies to the specific car you enter in the form.

How quickly will I get an offer?

You'll receive an offer within 48 hours. After you accept, we arrange pickup and payment.

What cars does Sonja buy?

We buy most Volkswagen Beetle cars when they make sense in the market. We assess year, mileage, and condition for the specific car—submit the form for a concrete offer.

What is the difference from a private sale?

A private sale means listing the car, filtering inquiries—often including low offers from dealers—and having strangers visit your home for viewings. With Sonja you get one concrete offer and one agreed pickup.

Does Sonja use EU inspection data for the Volkswagen Beetle in its assessment?

Yes. We use historical PKK data (periodic vehicle inspection) for the Volkswagen Beetle as one of several factors in our offer. It gives us a clearer picture of the model's typical technical condition over time.

What do I need to do to sell my car?

Enter your registration number and mileage. We pull technical and ownership data from the road authority automatically and send you an offer.
