Nissan’s Juke was the fastest-selling used car in September, new data shows.

The Sunderland-built crossover took 11.4 days on average to sell on Motors.co.uk, figures given to Car Dealer by eBay Motors Group reveal.

The Juke was one of a handful of smaller models to appear in the top 10 list – which you can see further down this story.


It was joined by Toyota’s Aygo and Yaris as well as a number of Mercedes models.

All of the cars to appear in the top 10 list outpaced the average selling time of nearly 37 days on the used car platform, said the company.

eBay Motors Group marketing director Lucy Tugby told Car Dealer: ‘The fastest-selling used cars on Motors.co.uk in September were dominated by small, affordable, sub-four-year-old cars with up to 30,000 miles on the clock.


‘City cars performed particularly strongly, led by the Nissan Juke, with petrol examples averaging just 11.4 days in stock, significantly outpacing the 36.6 stocking days averaged across all dealer sectors.

‘Dealers stocking diesel versions of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class across various age bands and mileages were rewarded with some of the fastest sales of the month ranging from 13.7 to 16.2 days, highlighting the strength of premium badge appeal for buyers in the market for small runaround cars.’

She added: ‘Alternative-fuelled cars also performed well, with the all-electric Renault Zoe selling in just 14.8 days and the Toyota Yaris hybrid averaging 15.9 days.’
