These are UK's fastest selling used cars according to Auto Trader

The latest insights from Auto Trader reveal an intriguing shift in the UK's used car market dynamics, with the Kia XCeed emerging as the fastest-selling used car across the country. According to the latest data, the compact crossover from the South Korean manufacturer is racing off retailers' forecourts at an astonishing pace, with an average of just 14 days from listing to sale.

Hot on the XCeed's tail in joint second position are the all-electric Tesla Model 3 and the Mercedes-Benz EQC, boasting equally impressive sell-out times of 14.5 days. The Hyundai Ioiniq 5 follows closely behind, taking a mere 15 days to find its new owner, while even the discontinued Ford Fiesta - the UK's best-selling used car last year - is proving to be a sought-after commodity, changing hands in just 16 days.

The trend towards SUVs continues to dominate the market, with six out of the top ten fastest-selling used cars falling under this category. Notable mentions include the petrol hybrid Ford Puma, Skoda Karoq, and Volvo XC60, reflecting Brits' unwavering enthusiasm for spacious and versatile vehicles.
