What Were The Top Used Cars of 2022?

The Most Popular Pre-Owned Vehicles of the Year

As a dealership that sees countless used cars come and go each year, at West Motors we’re always curious to see which ones have been most popular over the last twelve months. We have our suspicions each time December rolls around, and they’re nearly always confirmed when we see some familiar names on the list - so what were the top used cars of 2022? In this article we reveal the most popular marques of the year so you can get a good understanding of which second hand cars hold their value - and which don't! Read on to find out more.  

Ford Fiesta

Dressed up or down, the Ford Fiesta is a hatchback that definitely bends to the lifestyle of its driver, which is no doubt why it’s been a best-seller this year yet again! From family cars to a stylish runaround, there really is a Fiesta for everyone; could yours be waiting here at West Motors? Browse our Ford Fiestas in stock to find out. 

Vauxhall Corsa

Another hatchback that we see frequently on these lists is the Corsa, thanks in no small part to their low running costs, ease of handling, and wide selection of trim levels so that there’s something for everyone. These versatile hatchbacks can often be found on the West Motors forecourt; keep an eye on our website for the latest arrivals. 

Volkswagen Golf

The trusty Golf is a car we’re not surprised to see on this list again in 2022 - the sturdy build quality, easy-to-understand controls and surprisingly roomy interior make it a must-have for first-time drivers, commuters and families alike! Take a look at the Golfs currently available from West Motors to fall in love with this model yourself. 

Ford Focus

As a bigger car with all the charm of the Fiesta, the Focus is a very popular choice for small families. Competent handling means that it’s as at home on the motorway as it is on the school run, and there are plenty of features inside modern used examples to keep you connected and entertained on your travels. View the Ford Focus as West Motors today. 

Vauxhall Astra

Not to be underestimated, the Vauxhall Astra does give the Ford Focus a run for its money. Well-equipped and fun to drive, it throws a spanner in the works for those who think they know what best-selling family hatchback they want. The Vauxhall Astras we have in stock at West Motors are fantastic examples - could one of them be for you? 

Mini Hatch

Cute, compact, and bursting with charm, the MINI has long been a favourite on British roads, and we definitely see evidence of that here at West Motors. With various ‘packs’ available within modern MINIs, it’s not hard to find one that suits both your lifestyle and your budget. Take a look at the MINI we have available right now at West Motors - perfect if you’ve just passed your test! 

BMW 3 Series

We move into the more premium marques on the list with the BMW 3 Series, an all-rounder with a touch of luxury inside. Stylish and high-quality, the BMW is a car that can be a daily runaround for one as well as a family vehicle, which is, we’d imagine, why it’s been a bestseller this year. Make sure you check out the BMW 3 Series looking for new homes on our website.

Volkswagen Polo

Smaller than the Golf but still perfectly formed, the Polo still feels an impressive size inside, even for a small hatchback. These economical cars are an ideal choice if you like to keep your costs low, but your journeys comfortable. Take a look at the Polos in stock at West Motors. 

Audi A3

Another premium entry, the Audi A3 boasts great handling, a high-end interior, and a good range of engine sizes to suit every motorist. Modern models are home to some safety and driver convenience features that, once you get to know them, are hard to live without. Meet your next Audi A3 here

Nissan Qashqai 

The Qashqai is a family car that’s here to stay on these bestseller lists in our opinion; their popularity is almost unrivalled in the family crossover class. They’re spacious with a comfortable ride quality, and lots of fantastic features that work to keep everyone entertained as well as safe. Head over to the Qashqai section of our online showroom to see the current selection.
