Top 10 fastest selling used cars this year - from BMW to Ford and Honda
Selling your car can sometimes not be an easy task - but some motors are quicker to shift than others.
The second-hand car dealership Auto Trader looked at around 450,000 used car listings on its site and analysed how long they were kept live by dealers between June last year and June 2023.
By noting how quickly the motor adverts were removed from its platform, Auto Trader worked out which 10 cars were the most popular and the fastest selling.
According to the firm, all of the cars in the top 10 sell in under 15 days – for comparison the average used car takes around 34 number of days to sell on Auto Trader.

After this, the next five cars on the list took an average of 13 days to sell and these included the Kia Ceed, Kia Sportage, Honda Civic, Audi SQ2, and the Jaguar E-Pace.
The next two cars on the top 10 list took on average two weeks or 14 days to sell when listed on Auto Trader's website.
These cars were the Dacia Duster and the Ford Galaxy.
Taking the final spot, or tenth place on the list, was the DS 3 Crossback which took an average of 15 days to sell.
All but one of the models in the list - the Ford's Galaxy - were listed as "nearly new" - this means the car is less than one year old.
Ford's Galaxy Titanium made it into Auto Trader's top 10 list (HANDOUT MOTOR PR)Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, said: "With nine of the 10 fastest-selling cars in the UK over the last year aged under 12 months old, the shortfall in brand-new car supply continues to have a big influence on car buying decisions.
"Although the supply of new cars is slowly improving, many would-be, brand-new car buyers who aren’t prepared to wait are preferring to turn to the second-hand market for ‘nearly-new’ alternatives.
"It’s also interesting to note that hybrid models made up the majority of the fastest sellers.
"Fully electric prices are softening, but for many, they aren’t quite in reach yet, so for those car buyers who still want great economy and lower emissions than traditionally fuelled vehicles but without the price tag, hybrids are a good option."
