Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each MacBook family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.

A new MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) with 16GB / 1TB costs £1,999 in the United Kingdom. After selling yours at the best local quote, it costs £1,681 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: MAYBE.
