The fastest-selling used cars so far in June are all electric models, according to the latest Indicata Market Watch report.
It found that the most popular car in the UK was the Tesla Model 3, followed by the VW ID5 and the Cupra Born.
This follows unprecedented demand for used electric cars, which made up more than 10% of all used car sales in the month.
However, despite this demand, prices remain flat and are still 11% lower than they were in January 2024.
Dean Merritt, Indicata UK national retail strategy manager, said: “Our MarketPlace online portal continues to see strong demand for used EVs, but high sales have thinned out available stock in the past couple of months. More used EVs taken in part exchange are now being retailed rather than traded with consumers and dealers very positive about stocking and in turn buying used EVs.
“Now that the Middle East conflict is showing signs of calming down it will be interesting to see if the demand for used EVs continues or slow down as ICE fuel prices gradually get back to normal.
“Whatever happens there has been a step change in the perception of EVs over the past few months which has been very positive, at a time when the volume of used vehicles hitting the market continues to rise.”
