With Trade demand for stock having increased in recent weeks, vendors have noted that the bulk of this demand has been for diesel engined variants. On average a diesel model on a bread and butter car, like a Ford Focus 1.6TDCi, compared to an equivelent 1.6 petrol model has increased by between £300 and £400.

Other C segment cars seem to have enjoyed similar levels of demand for the diesel engine. Citroen C4 is another example. Larger cars see a polaration of this situation to the point where there is only demand for diesel and petrol variants are vertually never asked for especially where 7 seaters like S-Max, Galaxy and Quashqai are concerned.
