Median per year. New price: what the car cost new in the Netherlands, the RDW catalogue price (incl. VAT, BPM and factory options, without delivery costs). For cars imported used: the Dutch catalogue price of that version. Value kept: asking price divided by the car’s own new price. Drop per year: value kept against the next newer year; a plus means that year asks relatively more. Older cars have more miles, which is part of the drop. * Fewer than 5 cars: indicative only. Asking prices, not sale prices.

Who buys a used Volkswagen ID.3?

With 4,595 sales in 2025, the ID.3 was the second most-traded used electric car in the Netherlands, after the Tesla Model 3. Buyers are mostly private motorists who want to go electric without a Tesla budget, plus freelancers and commuters who charge at home. More than with a petrol car, the battery sets the value: Pure (about 45 kWh usable), Pro (58–59 kWh) or Pro S (77–79 kWh). Mileage matters less than measured battery health.

Early cars from 2020–2021 had software teething troubles; cars running recent software drive noticeably better. A heat pump improves winter range and value. In 2026 electric cars get a 30% discount on road tax. Note that buyers may hold off for the announced used-EV subsidy (OGEA), which is not open yet. Have an SoH test done (checking the battery), start with a free valuation and compare trade-in, auction and private sale.

Which ID.3 generations are there?

Which ID.3 generations are there?
GenerationWhat to know
ID.3 (eerste versie)2020–2023Pure, Pro and Pro S; early cars had software problems that updates have largely fixed.
ID.3 (facelift)2023–presentCalmer interior with better materials, new software and later the sporty GTX.

Which ID.3 versions are popular?

These are the versions buyers search for most. Name the exact version in your ad.

  • Volkswagen ID.3 Pro 58 kWh
  • Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S 77 kWh
  • Volkswagen ID.3 Pure 45 kWh
  • Volkswagen ID.3 1st Edition 58 kWh
  • Volkswagen ID.3 Pro Business 58 kWh
  • Volkswagen ID.3 GTX 79 kWh

What are the known weak spots of the ID.3?

  • Software (especially 2020–2021): glitchy infotainment and warning messages; ask which software version is installed
  • The 12-volt battery can go flat, leaving the car unable to start despite a full traction battery
  • Battery degradation varies from car to car; only an SoH test gives certainty
  • Without a heat pump, winter range is noticeably shorter

What does a buyer check on a used ID.3?

  • Battery SoH report, from a dealer or independent test
  • A fast-charging test and whether the home charging cable is included
  • Software version and whether over-the-air updates work
  • Heat pump and options such as head-up display and adaptive cruise
  • Rear (drum) brakes for rust from little use due to regenerative braking

How do you sell your ID.3 for the best price?

  1. Have an SoH test done before selling and include the report in your ad
  2. Get the software updated at the dealer; a fault-free car feels younger
  3. State the real range in summer and winter, not just the WLTP figure
  4. Private buyers may wait for the OGEA subsidy; a dealer bid via auction gives certainty now

FAQ about the Volkswagen ID.3

Is an ID.3 with 100,000 km still worth much?

That depends more on the battery than on the mileage. An ID.3 with 100,000 km and good SoH is more attractive to buyers than a lower-mileage car without a battery report. The battery version (Pure, Pro, Pro S), heat pump and software version also count. Have the battery tested, then get a free valuation by licence plate.

Should I wait to sell until the new EV subsidy opens?

Not necessarily. The used-EV switching subsidy (OGEA) was announced in a letter to parliament on 21 September 2026 but is not open yet; opening is planned preferably for Q4 2026, otherwise Q2 2027. It means €4,000, or €6,000 when scrapping a Euro 0–4 car, for EVs with a list price of €12,000 to €60,000. Read the latest status.

Which ID.3 battery is most in demand?

The Pro with 58 or 59 kWh usable. For most buyers it offers enough range at an affordable price, and there are plenty on offer. The Pro S with the big battery suits high-mileage drivers, while the Pure with the smallest battery is mainly for city use. Always state the exact battery in your ad and whether a heat pump is fitted.
