A new study has revealed that the Volkswagen Golf is the most listed second-hand car in the UK.
The study, conducted by insurance experts Howden Insurance, analysed data from Auto Trader UK to find out how many listings of each make, model and colour car are available, to determine the most listed second-hand cars.
The average price for each model was also established.
A spokesperson for Howden Insurance said: “Buying a second-hand car is often the most practical choice for many people, as well as the only one they might have, especially with rising costs in the market. The study highlights just how many of the same models are available, showing how these are not just popular but also reliable options, as so many were bought new in the first place.
Here are the 10 most commonly sold pre-used cars in the UK in 2025.
