Over the weekend, Car Dealer revealed the 10 used models that lost the most value in the 12 months to the end of December. But what about the other end of the scale?
What of those vehicles that have shot up in price over the past year, as used car prices across the board continue to stay high?
Using the same data, from Auto Trader’s latest retail price index, the best-performing models can now be revealed.
The list is dominated by superminis, city cars and hatchbacks, suggesting an increased demand for small, affordable motors.
The likes of the Suzuki Alto (17.2 per cent) and Kia Picanto (17.7 per cent) both feature on the list, as well as the Saab 9-3 (19.6 per cent).
Also shooting up in value in December was the Hyundai i10 (20.4 per cent) as well as the Ford Ka (21 per cent) and Fiat Panda (21.5 per cent).
Elsewhere, two Peugeots – the 207 (22.1 per cent) and the 107 (23.8 per cent) – were narrowly beaten by the Vauxhall Agila (26.4 per cent).
Topping the list was the Fiat Punto, which saw its average asking price on Auto Trader reach £4,423 in December – a rise of 28.5 per cent.
