THE LAW OF AVERAGES: In 2019, a used car cost on average ￡12,800. Let's go shopping

摘要

What do the official used car sales figures tell us? I'm no longer sure. On the face of it, they seem to be reassuring and confirm that the nation's favourite pre-owned model just happens to be the Ford Fiesta. This all comes from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, and they indicate that the UK's used car market last year was more or less on a par with 2018's. So that's 7,935,105 sales in 2019, down a paltry 9935 on the 12 months before.
