The fastest selling new and used cars 2024/25

5 fastest selling used cars

Here are the 5 fastest selling used cars in the UK, according to the latest Glass sales data from February 2025:

1. Tesla Model Y

The rapid turnover of used Tesla Model Ys can be attributed to their attractive pricing, young age compared to other used cars, and increased availability.

The Model Y’s minimalist, ultra-modern cabin, coupled with Tesla’s reputation for cutting edge technology (such as the innovative Autopilot system) have helped to make it one of the most desirable electric SUVs on the used market.

• Days to sell: 23
• Average retail asking price: £29,425
• Average transaction price: £28,798
• Average mileage: 29,840
• Average age: 2 years 11 months

2. Vauxhall Grandland

The Vauxhall Grandland’s speedy turnover can be linked to its competitive price, along with the young age and low mileage of the average used model.

The Grandland is a spacious, practical family SUV, available with several different engine configurations, including a 128bhp 1.5 litre diesel engine, and two 1.6 litre plug-in hybrid variants (offering either 222 or 296bhp).

The boot boasts an impressive 514 litres of space, increased to 1,652 litres with the rear seats folded.

• Days to sell: 25
• Average retail asking price: £21,275
• Average mileage: £21,196
• Average age: 12,992
• Average mileage: 2 years 6 months

3. Audi Q4 E-Tron

Audi’s Q4 E-tron has also proved to be a rapid seller on the used market, demonstrating an appetite for premium EVs among used buyers. The Q4 E-Tron is a well-equipped mid-sized electric SUV that strikes a good balance between luxury and practicality.

The build quality, interior, and infotainment system are all top notch, and the spacious cabin comfortably seats adults at the front and back.

There are several variants available, managing between 312 and 330 miles on a single charge, which should quell range anxiety for most commuters.

• Days to sell: 25
• Average retail asking price: £26,582
• Average transaction price: £25,823
• Average mileage: 32,593
• Average age: 3 years 3 months

4. Renault ZOE

The Renault ZOE is a punchy electric supermini that can achieve 239 miles on a single charge. Despite being discontinued in March 2024, it still sells quickly on the used market.

The final generation benefits from an overhauled interior and improved infotainment system. Just bear in mind that while the cabin is spacious enough at the front, it can get a little cramped for taller adults at the back.

You can charge to full capacity from empty in just three hours with a 22kW public charger. (This takes around nine hours with the standard 7kW home setup.)

• Days to sell: 30
• Average retail asking price: £10,009
• Average transaction price: £9,602
• Average mileage: 29,052
• Average age: 4 years 7 months

5. Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 benefits from an excellent range (318 miles for the entry-level RWD, 328 miles for the Performance variant, and 436 miles for the Long Range RWD), great performance, and world-class tech.

The sleek, minimal interior gives the Model 3 an upmarket feel, and there’s no shortage of space at the front and back of the cabin.

An increasingly competitive EV market led Tesla to drop their prices, which is great news for used buyers seeking an affordable tech-driven EV. The average used price for a Model 3 is now below £20k, putting it well within the reach of many drivers.

• Days to sell: 30
• Average retail asking price: £19,817
• Average transaction price: £19,124
• Average mileage: 45,326
• Average age: 4 years 2 months

5 best selling new cars

In this section, we’ll run through the top five best selling cars in 2024. This list is based on new car sales data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Trader (SMMT).

These figures cover sales for ‘24’ and ‘74’ plate cars – and not the new ‘25’ plate models, which launched on 1st March 2025.

1. Ford Puma (48,340 registrations)

The facelifted Ford Puma is a punchy compact SUV with a sleek, overhauled interior, a larger infotainment system, and sportier looks than most of its competitors.

It’s fun to drive, offering the perfect balance between economy and driving performance. All variants except the ST version have a 1.0-litre petrol engine with mild hybrid technology, which is a great fuel saver in stop/start traffic.

The Puma has impressive boot space for a car of its size - and enough interior room to comfortably accommodate a family of four.

2. Kia Sportage (47,163 registrations)

Kia’s Sportage is an impressive family SUV with ample boot space and legroom, a smart interior, and sharp styling.

Despite its economical starting price, the Sportage holds its own against more premium competitors, with the lower trims offering especially good value for money.

Drivers and passengers alike can enjoy a smooth and comfortable ride. All engines come with some level of hybrid assistance (mild, regular, and plug-in hybrid). The Sportage HEV version is the nimblest of all – managing 0-60mph in just 7.1 seconds.

3. Nissan Qashqai (42,418 registrations)

The Nissan Qashqai remains a top seller thanks to its winning mix of practicality, technology, and style. A refreshed exterior with sharper styling and more contemporary flair boosts its kerb appeal, whilst the interior boasts higher quality materials, and an overhauled infotainment system.

There’s a spacious cabin, ensuring a comfortable ride for families – and the advanced parking assistance system takes the hassle out of urban expeditions.

With a range of trim options (including the sporty N-Design, and the luxurious Tekna+ variant) and a reputation for reliability and value, it’s easy to see why the Qashqai is one of the most enduringly popular crossover SUVs on the UK market.

4. Nissan Juke (34,454 registrations)

Nissan’s Juke has earned another top five spot for the Japanese automaker, thanks to its bold design, sleek interior, practical safety, and competitive pricing.

The latest iteration improves on its predecessor in numerous ways, offering a roomier cabin, smarter tech, and a refined layout. Thanks to its spry handling, the Juke shines on winding country roads.

The equipment is generous with dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera, and a 12.3” infotainment system all available as standard.

Finally, the range of attractive finance deals for this model helped to ensure strong sales in 2024.

5. Tesla Model Y (32,862 registrations)

The Tesla Model Y’s success in the UK stems from its performance, utility, smart technology, and competitive pricing.

Thanks to its roomy interior, strong safety credentials, and 372-mile range, the Model Y is a great choice for families and drivers with regular long commutes. Model Y owners also benefit from Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network, which helps to allay range anxiety.

The infotainment system receives frequent software updates, keeping it at the cutting edge of technology. Finally, a slew of attractive finance and leasing deals have helped to convert more drivers.
