Used car prices grew for the 29th consecutive month in August with values remaining sky-high despite fears of a crash.
Data released by Auto Trader yesterday (August 2) revealed that the average price of a used car now stands at £17,039 but even among such pricey company, some vehicles stand out from the rest.
To find out which models are still climbing the most, Auto Trader has compiled a top 10.
The list is topped by the Peugeot 107, which moves up from the fourth position it claimed last month.
The hatchback had an average asking price of £3,652 in August, representing a year-on-year rise of 43.2 per cent.
Also moving up the list was the Fiat Punto, which rose from fifth to second in the list.
Last month’s winner – the Seat Alhambra – drops off the list completely but new entries include the Renault Twingo and Toyota Prius.
Returning to the list after also appearing in July’s top 10 are the likes of the Peugeot 308, Hyundai ix20 and Renault Scenic.
