Britain’s most expensive second hand cars revealed as prices soar – how much is your motor worth?

SECOND-hand car prices have raced up since 2019 — with the Vauxhall Corsa almost doubling.

The 950,000 Corsas in the UK which were sold in 2004 have on average increased to £2,197 from £1,136, a 93 per cent rise.

Next is the Vauxhall Astra, up from £1,069 to £1,998 — an 87 per cent jump, says Auto Trader.

The Renault Megane in third was up 80 per cent. All models were sold on the 04/54 plate.

In the same time, gold rose 21 per cent, UK homes 24 per cent and the FTSE100 3 per cent.

Corsa owner Andy Fitzgerald, 43, of St Albans, Herts, said his 2002 model had 120,000 miles on the clock, but was still going strong.

The garage owner said: “I love my little Corsa, but if someone offered me two grand for it, I’d bite their hands off.”

Erin Baker, of Auto Trader, said: “While you might not think your car is old enough to be a classic, it may hold a hidden value. Don’t view it as another junk item.

“Using only independent market data taken from millions of vehicles each day, it provides a totally unbiased valuation in minutes. It is the platform to find out what your car is really worth.”
