The valuation is for the car of that model with that mileage. Any marks, dents or faults, they subtract the cost to repair from the valuation.
However, they only start it up, walk around it, sit in it, maybe move it across the car park. If the car doesn't run well but sounds fine in a car park then it should get through fine, they don't have time to test drive or look for mechanical issues.

Anyone have experience with we buy any car? I've been trying to sell privately and if I reduce it anymore will be less than what they have quoted me, do they drop the valuation when you get there?
