BYD Dolphin Price Guide & Known Issues (2024-2026)

How much is a BYD Dolphin worth?

Used BYD Dolphin prices start from around £14,499 at UK dealers, with models ranging from 2024 to 2026. The exact value depends on the variant, year, mileage and condition - a high-spec Active will be worth significantly more than a base model with the same age and miles.

Part-exchange, trade, or private sale - what's the difference?

The same Dolphin can be worth three different amounts depending on how you sell it:

• Private sale - typically the highest price, but you handle viewings, tyre-kickers and paperwork yourself
• Part-exchange - convenient when buying your next car, but dealers will offer below market rate to build in their margin
• Trade sale - quickest route to cash, but usually the lowest offer

Our free estimate tool shows what similar cars are listed for at dealers right now - a solid starting point whichever route you choose.

Can I check the service history of a BYD Dolphin?

Yes. Our service history check pulls official records directly from BYD's manufacturer database, showing:

• Every recorded service - dates, mileage and dealer location
• Work carried out at each visit
• Gaps in the service schedule that could affect value

If you're buying a used Dolphin, this is one of the most important checks you can do. A full service history typically adds 10-15% to a car's value.

How are these estimates calculated?

We crawl thousands of UK dealer websites daily and record what they're actually listing cars for. When you enter a reg, we match your car's exact variant, age and mileage against current and recent listings to produce an estimate grounded in real market data - not inflated book values or outdated guides.
