New figures have revealed that the UK used car market has bounced back in recent months.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders have reported that sales grew by 0.9% between July and September, after nine straight quarters of decline. Sales of used petrol models remains stagnant, but diesel sales rose by 1.4%. However, it is the demand for plug-in electric and hybrid models which saw the most spectacular growth, with sales up by 13%.
As with new cars, superminis remain the most popular buy in the used market, while black is the most popular colour choice.
The positive figures are still not enough to counter a disappointing first half to the year, with the overall UK used car market still down by 0.8% on 2018.
