Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Miele
- Washing machines and dishwashers of any age in working order, because the build quality means age alone does not condemn them
- Vacuum cleaners, particularly the cylinder models, which are simple, repairable and have parts available for decades
- Appliances with service records, since Miele repairs are worth doing and documented work genuinely adds value here
- Machines with the original accessories — the extra hoses, trays and tool sets — which are model-specific and expensive
What pulls Miele resale value down
- Machines needing a repair that costs a large share of their value, which is where even a good brand stops making sense
- Worn door seals on washing machines, which leak and are a straightforward but necessary replacement
- Blocked or damaged vacuum hoses and missing filters, which are the parts that go and are frequently absent
- Appliances that have sat unused for years, where the seals have dried and the pump has seized
Identifying and dating yours
- The model and serial are on a label inside the door or on the rear panel — photograph it, since Miele parts availability is model-specific
- Say honestly whether the machine is currently plumbed in and working, because buyers of expensive appliances will ask to see it running
- Photograph the door seal all the way round on a washing machine, as perished rubber is the commonest fault and easily missed
What lifts any hob, whatever the label
Hobs are built-in, so the cut-out dimensions matter as much as the condition when a buyer decides whether it fits.
- Induction hobs, which are most in demand
- All burners or zones working evenly
- Unscratched glass or intact enamel
- Original pan supports and control knobs
And what pulls one down
- Cracked glass, which makes the hob unusable
- Failed zones or burners
- Missing pan supports and knobs
- Older gas hobs, which sell for less
Working out what yours is worth
- Test every zone or burner at full power
- Measure the cut-out dimensions precisely
- Check the glass for chips and cracks
What to state in the listing
- Overall dimensions and the required cut-out aperture
- Fuel type and electrical load or gas type
- Number of zones or burners and control type
- Which zones have been tested and work, and any glass damage
Type, width and fuel: “60cm Induction Hob, 4 Zone, Touch Control”. Width is the search and the type is the hard filter, since induction needs compatible pans and a heavier supply. Say if the glass is undamaged, which buyers assume it is not.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure the cut-out aperture as well as the overall dimensions, since that is what has to fit.
- Establish the fuel and supply: gas, standard electric, or induction needing a dedicated circuit.
- Clean it thoroughly and test every zone or burner, noting which work.
- The hob from directly above, clean, whole
- The underside showing the connection and any cabling
- The rating plate with model and electrical load
- Each zone or burner, plus any chip, crack or scratch in the glass
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts around kitchen refits in spring and early autumn. Induction hobs in standard widths sell fastest.
Collection, and support it flat — glass tops crack if flexed. Never let a gas hob be disconnected by anyone unqualified.
What buyers ask
Is an old Miele still worth buying?
Often yes, which is unusual for white goods. They are designed for a very long service life and parts stay available, so a well-kept older machine can be a sensible purchase.
Do I need to disconnect an appliance before selling?
Yes, and safely. Water appliances should be isolated and drained; anything gas must be disconnected by a competent registered person rather than by you.
How much is a Miele hob worth?
Roughly £54 to £243 depending on condition, against £40 to £180 for hobs generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
