The past two years have seen record-breaking growth in the value of used cars thanks to supply chain issues, which have slashed the availability of new vehicles.
Despite the market now showing signs of softening, though, Auto Trader reported this week that May was the 26th consecutive month of growth.
It wouldn’t appear that prices are going to fall off a cliff any time soon, but which models are still standing out from the crowd?
To find out, Auto Trader has been crunching its data to come up with a top 10.
Topping the list is the Suzuki SX4. The compact crossover had an average asking price of £4,162 in May, which represented a year-on-year-rise of 79.8 per cent.
Elsewhere, the Seat Alhambra, Renault Scenic and Toyota Auris all saw significant leaps in value.
Also featuring in the top 10 was the Toyota Prius, along with the Skoda Octavia, Ford C-Max and Citroen Berlingo.
Ford saw its people carriers rise in value, too, with the S-Max and Galaxy both featuring highly on the list.
The full list, as well as the accompanying numbers, can be seen below.
