What a used treadmill is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for treadmills, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £400 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £340 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £260 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £180 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £100 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a treadmill
- Higher motor power ratings for sustained running
- Belt and deck with even wear and correct tension
- Folding frames, which are far easier to move
- Console and heart rate features all working
What lowers it
- Worn or slipping belts and grooved decks
- Motors that struggle or smell hot under load
- Non-folding commercial frames that are very hard to move
- Dead consoles, which often cannot be replaced
How to work out what yours is worth
- Run it at walking and running speed and listen to the motor
- Check belt tension and look for wear down the centre
- Measure it folded and unfolded, and be honest about weight
Once you have those three answers you can place your own treadmill on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Are used treadmills worth much?
Prices are low relative to new, because supply is high and moving them is difficult. Folding models sell more easily than fixed frames.
What wears out on a treadmill?
The belt and deck. A belt worn down the centre or slipping under load is the most common fault and should be disclosed.
How do buyers collect a treadmill?
With help and a van. Give the weight and folded dimensions in the listing so nobody arrives in a hatchback.
