Used car prices grew for the 30th month in a row in September with values remaining high despite fears that the cost of living crisis could turn buyers away from the market
Data released by Auto Trader last week revealed that the average price of a used car now stands at £17,409 but even among such pricey company, some models continue to stand out from the crowd.
To find out which used cars are still climbing the most, Auto Trader has compiled a top 10.
The list is dominated by smaller vehicles and topped by the Fiat Punto, which moves up from the second place it claimed last month.
The hatchback had an average asking price of £4,854 in September, representing a year-on-year rise of 42.5 per cent.
The model replaces the Peugeot 107 at the top of the list, with the French model slipping into second place with a year-on-year price rise of 38.9 per cent.
That was followed by another Peugeot – the 207 – as well as the Ford Fusion and the Vauxhall Agila.
They are joined in the top 10 by the likes of the Renault Scenic, the Fiat Panda and the Vauxhall Meriva.
September’s list also included two Toyota models – the Avensis and the Prius.
