I want to trade in my iPhone 13 however it has a small dent less than 1mm on the back left corner. I’m not sure if this dent is classed as significant enough to decrease value. Can anyone help?

Take it to the Apple Store to get a trade-in value on the spot. That way you will know exactly what you will get without having to send in the device and have a third party make that objective value determination. There is no determinate value to expect for a small dent, but I think you are more likely to see the value reduced when using the Mail-in refund process. You always have the option of getting the device sent back to you, but the whole process is greatly streamlined if you have an Apple Store nearby for valuation.

If it doesn't affect the operation of the device, it probably won't matter.
However... we are not Apple. It is not up to us.
