SUVs are some of the fastest selling used cars on UK forecourts, according to Glass’s.

Top of the charts is the Nissan Qashqai, which is taking 25.3 days to sell.

It is joined in the top 10 by three other SUVs, Peugeots 3008, which takes 28.9 days to shift, the 2008 (28.1)and the Audi Q3 (27.5)

Also in the Top 10 were the Hyundai i10, taking 26.9 days to sell, the Volkswagen Bora (27.3), Audi Q3 (27.5) and Audi TT (28).

Rupert Pontin, chief car editor at Glass’s, said: “These results not only reinforce the popularity and desirability of the Qashqai but emphasise the growing importance of crossover SUVs in the used as well as new markets."

Glass’s also revealed the slowest selling cars on UK forecourts with the Vauxhall Cascada the worst performer, taking almost 103 days to sell. It was followed by the MG6, Mini Paceman, Nissan Leaf and F-Tyore Jaguar.

“It’s hard to believe that the Vauxhall Cascada is the slowest seller of all, which suggests that it’s either in oversupply or it’s overpriced. Realistically, it’s probably a combination of both,” said Pontin.

“Only time will tell. I’m also extremely surprised to see the Jaguar F-Type and Mini Paceman in such lowly positions.

“These have been very successful in the new market but perhaps buyers only want them as new cars or find that the second-hand models are overpriced,” he said.
