For those on the lookout for a new car, many turn to the used car market, where you can find outstanding value for money, with the added bonus of knowing that your car won’t instantly depreciate in value as it would do with a brand new model.
The two most important things to look for when buying a used car are the asking price and the number of miles on the clock, but which models provide the very best value when we take both factors into account?
We’ve looked at the average sold price and mileage of hundreds of thousands of cars listed at ChooseMyCar to find out.

Taking into account both the average price and mileage of all vehicles with at least 50 live listings, the one that offered the best value was the MG ZS, a subcompact crossover SUV with an average price of just £13,731 and average mileage of just over 6,000 miles. It’s much cheaper than your average family SUV and also comes in an electric version called the ZS EV.

In second place was another subcompact crossover, the Citroën C3 Aircross, with a higher average mileage of 10,334 but an even cheaper average price than the ZS. The Aircross replaced the popular Picasso in 2017 and comes with an array of customisation options.

Third place goes to the Suzuki Celerio, with an average price of just £5,700 and average mileage of just over 16,000 miles on the clock. It’s Suzuki’s smallest car, but still bigger than most city cars and offers great value.

We’ve also used Google search volume to determine which are the UK’s most ‘in-demand’ second-hand cars at the moment, with over 100,000 searches each month for ‘used cars’. So, which are the vehicles which we’re searching for more than any others?
Monthly Searches
Kia’s Sportage is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs on the market, but it also turns out it's the most ‘in-demand’ used car out there too, with 6,000 searches for “Used Kia Sportage” every month, just edging out the ever-popular Ford Fiesta.
Monthly Searches
It’s the best selling car in the country, but when it comes to searches for second-hand cars, the Ford Fiesta just missed out on first place. The iconic supermini has been a favourite around the world for almost 45 years now and remains just as popular as it ever was.
Monthly Searches
Nissan’s Qashqai was one of the first crossovers to successfully tap into the modern need for an affordable, family-sized SUV and it remains popular 14 years after it first launched. It’s also seemingly very popular with those looking to pick up a used car, with just under 5,000 searches every month.
