What can you get for your budget?

The biggest step is at £20,000. Up to that price the typical car is 7 years old and has done 53,000 miles; above it, the typical car is 2 years old with 14,000 miles. Over two thirds of the cars are listed at £20,000 or less, so if your budget is close to that line, look on both sides of it.

Compare types of used car

A used SUV has a median asking price of £18,400, about two thirds more than a hatchback at £11,000. Age explains a good part of that: the SUVs listed are typically 3 years old, the hatchbacks 6. If it's space you're after, an MPV (£10,000) or an estate (£14,500) is typically cheaper than an SUV.

Body type	Cars	Median asking price	Typical price range
SUV	201,390	£18,400	£8,000–£38,000
Hatchback	129,971	£11,000	£3,500–£22,500

Electric, petrol, diesel or hybrid?

A used electric car has a median asking price of £23,900, but it is also typically just 2 years old with 16,000 miles. The typical diesel is 8 years old, has done 70,000 miles and costs £11,500. So a good part of the price gap between fuel types is really a gap in age.

Fuel	Cars	Median asking price	Typical age	Typical mileage
Petrol	216,344	£13,900	5 years	35,000 miles
Diesel	127,754	£11,500	8 years	70,000 miles
Hybrid (petrol)	58,748	£22,200	2 years	18,000 miles
Electric	38,113	£23,900	2 years	16,000 miles
Hybrid (diesel)	82	£17,900	2 years	25,000 miles

How to read the price ratings

We compare the asking price with those of similar cars, based on model, year, mileage and spec. Most cars get one of five ratings: Super price, Good price, Fair price, A bit pricey or Expensive.

The rating tells you about the price, not the car's condition, so a good price is no substitute for an inspection. Check the MOT history and service record, and ideally have it checked by a mechanic before you buy.

How to find the right car

A budget of £10,000 gives you 131,794 cars to choose from, far too many to compare. Narrow your search by age, mileage and county until you have a shortlist you can actually work through.
