How would only doing 5400km affect the average selling price of a 2013 Hyundai i30?

Hi, my mum is thinking of selling her 2013 Hyundai i30 which I think is the basic trim model. Given it has only done 5400km does this make a difference to the average selling price of $6710 listed for this model?

While it's true that super-low mileage can make a difference to a car's selling price, when it comes to mainstream cars like the i30, the difference may not be as much as you expect. Rare, old and collectible cars really benefit value-wise from low mileages, but a 10-year-old Hyundai really doesn't fall into any of those categories. So while it will make the car worth more, don't be surprised if it doesn't make thousands of dollars' worth of difference.

On the flip-side, many car buyers don't like cars that have travelled very low annual distances. Cars don't like sitting around, and a car with very low kilometres could have problems with dry seals and gaskets, flat-spotted tyres, and a build-up of condensation within the mechanical bits and pieces.
