Small diesels make big impact on used car market
There has been a marked rise in the popularity of used diesel-powered superminis over recent months, with price premiums over equivalent petrol models more than doubling on certain vehicles since last year.
According to EurotaxGlass's, publisher of trade 'bible' Glass's Guide to Used Car Values, two- and three-year old examples of best-selling superminis such as the Ford Fiesta and Peugeot 206 equipped with low-capacity diesel engines have seen their price premiums increase from around £200 last year up to £500 now.
Technological enhancements to diesel engine refinement and the opportunity for consumers to make significant cost savings have both contributed to the rise in demand.
