EVs dominate fastest selling used cars list
Six electric models are among the 10 fastest selling used cars on Auto Trader this month, with the Kia Niro taking just 13 days on average to find a buyer.
This compares to a market average of 32 days.
Electric cars also make up the three fastest selling models, with the Niro followed by the Nissan Leaf and the Hyundai KONA.
Meanwhile, electric is the fastest selling fuel type overall in November, with the average model selling within 26 days, down from 28 days in October and 29 days in September 2025.
The data also revealed that alternatively fuelled vehicles made up nine of the top 10 fastest selling cars, with the Kia Picanto the only petrol car making the list.
In terms of fuel types, plug-in hybrids have been selling in an average of 31 days in November while petrol cars are selling in 32 days.
Marc Palmer, Auto Trader head of strategy and insights, said: “It’s great to see car buyers continue to move towards used EVs; the Niro’s position at the top of our rankings, and the dominance of AFVs this month, really underlines how fast the market is maturing and the opportunity for retailers.
“This is mirrored in broader industry data which shows used EV sales have enjoyed record uptake and rapidly increased market share over recent months.
“The message is clear; electric vehicles, particularly ‘middle-aged’ models, open up affordable and clean motoring as well as a path to profit. While the overall market pace has slowed to a seasonal average, capitalising on the sustained EV momentum by stocking the right models and pricing them accurately using data, will be critical as we approach the end of the year.”
