Deciding whether to keep or sell an older vehicle is a common dilemma, as you need to balance the cost of maintenance with the value of the vehicle, or decide to switch to a different car which could come with its own set of problems.

If you are happy with your current car then this is a good reason not to change. It is difficult to anticipate what problems you may encounter in future, but the fact that it has been reliable in your care so far is a good sign. Although you say it will be worth around £1500 in a year from now, it is unlikely to lose a great deal more value from that point onwards. If you do wish to change to something else then now is the best time to sell in order to maximise its value.
