Current Used Car Market Updates
The used car market has remained very active over recent months, with strong interest in well-specified vehicles that combine performance, comfort and value. While prices have stabilised compared to previous years, demand is still high for the right cars — especially those with sought-after trims and solid reputations.
From our experience dealing with customers both locally and across the wider region, buyers are becoming more informed and selective. Many are now placing just as much importance on condition, service history and specification as they do on the brand itself.
Sportier Trims Are Drawing the Most Interest
A clear trend we’ve noticed recently is growing demand for sportier trim levels. Cars that look sharper and deliver a more engaging driving experience are moving quickly as soon as they arrive in stock.
BMW M Sport Models
BMW continues to perform very well for us, particularly M Sport models. Drivers are drawn to the combination of sporty styling, strong road presence and enjoyable driving dynamics. Whether it’s a hatchback or a saloon, the M Sport trim ticks a lot of boxes for people looking for something practical that still feels fun to drive.
Audi S Line Models
Audi S Line vehicles have also been selling strongly. The upgraded interiors, subtle exterior enhancements and solid build quality make them appealing to buyers who want a premium feel without sacrificing everyday usability. They suit a wide range of buyers — from commuters to small families — looking for a comfortable and stylish car.
Volkswagen R-Line Models
On the Volkswagen side, R-Line models continue to attract steady interest. They offer a sporty appearance and well-finished interior while maintaining the practicality many drivers need. That blend of style and usability makes them a favoured choice for those who want something smart and reliable.
What Buyers Are Prioritising Now
Across all brands, customers are paying close attention to:
- Overall condition
- Service history
- Mileage relative to age
- Specification and trim level
Many buyers prefer cars that are ready to drive away without needing upgrades or extras. Well-maintained vehicles with good specifications tend to sell quickly, regardless of badge.
A Market That Rewards Quality
Buyers are willing to move quickly when the right car becomes available, but they’re also taking their time to make sure it’s the right fit for them.
For anyone considering a change of car, keeping an eye on the market and being ready to act when the right vehicle appears can make all the difference.
We’ll continue to share insights on what’s selling well and how the used car market is evolving throughout the year.
