What £10,000 Buys You
At this budget you’re typically looking at a car three to six years old with full service history and a recent MOT. You get modern safety equipment, better economy and technology like reversing cameras and smartphone connectivity as standard on most models.
You also take far less depreciation than buying new. A three-year-old car has already lost the steepest part of its value, and the next few years are much gentler on your money.
Nearly New and Low Mileage
The cars in this range tend to be the ones people keep longest — newer Nissan Qashqai and Juke models, and compact SUVs like the Vauxhall Mokka X. If you’re upgrading from an older car and want something that feels a generation ahead, this is the range to look at.
