BMW leads used electric car convoy
BMW leads Britain’s used electric car market but the Tesla Model Y is the nation’s most widely available used electric car
MarketCheck data has revealed that BMW remains the most represented manufacturer in Britain’s used electric vehicle market, although Tesla dominates the rankings for individual electric models.
The latest MarketCheck figures show 3,122 used electric BMWs currently advertised for sale across the UK, representing 8.28% of active used EV stock. Tesla follows closely with 3,050 vehicles and an 8.09% market share, with Volkswagen (7.82%), MG (6.56%), and Audi (6.19%) completing the top five.
However, despite BMW leading the manufacturer rankings, Tesla occupies the top two positions when individual electric models are compared.
The Tesla Model Y is Britain’s most widely advertised used electric car, with 1,667 active listings, representing 4.42% of all used EV stock. The Tesla Model 3 follows in second place with 1,227 listings.
Newer electric vehicle brands are also establishing a presence; BYD now accounts for 975 active listings, or 2.59% of the market.
Alastair Campbell, MarketCheck UK, said: “BMW continues to lead the used EV market when we look at total vehicles advertised, but Tesla remains incredibly strong at an individual model level.
“The Model Y and Model 3 are the two most widely available used electric cars in Britain, which is particularly notable given the number of different models now competing in this sector.”
