Using information from our REAL customer data, we’ve compiled a list of the most popular cars on finance. See which used cars other drivers buy and whether they would be right for you! Our data analyses the previous year’s data and provides the top 10 popular used vehicles bought on finance! Let’s take a look.
1. Nissan Qashqai.
The Nissan Qashqai is one of the most popular family SUVs on the market. It’s long been a firm favourite with UK drivers and is our most popular car on finance this year! Not only does the Qashqai come with low road tax, but it’s also a great car for the school run and has low running costs. The Nissan Qashqai is a great all-rounder and can be very adaptable. The latest version of the Qashqai comes with plenty of safety equipment as a standard and a smart, sophisticated interior.
2. Ford Focus.
The Ford Focus is the first of two Ford cars on our list of the most popular cars on finance. Ford has long been a favourite amongst UK drivers, and the Ford Focus is no different, so much so it’s one of the most stolen cars in the UK! But don’t let that put you off, the Ford Focus is highly desirable due to its huge interior space and its great value for money. There are plenty of engine options to choose from, but we feel it excels best when you choose a diesel engine for those weekend family road trips.
3. Ford Fiesta.
The 2nd Ford on our list is the unstoppable Ford Fiesta. The Fiesta was the UK’s selling car of the year for 15 years in a row until it was knocked off the top spot in 2023 by the Ford Puma. However, the Ford Fiesta is still a popular choice for used car buyers. The Fiesta is small but mighty and can suit a range of drivers. It’s a perfect car for first-time drivers because it offers low running costs and low insurance rates too. Although it could be roomier, it’s still comfortable, practical, and fun to drive.
4. BMW 1 Series.
It’s easy to see why the BMW 1 Series is a great car to buy. It provides luxury without being too unobtainable for used car buyers. BMW finance deals can help you spread the cost into affordable payments and get a popular hatchback for less! The BMW 1 Series comes with some of the best technology around and it’s also great fun to drive! On the inside, it comes with BMW’s well-refined interior quality and plenty of space throughout.
5. Vauxhall Astra.
The Vauxhall Astra is a popular choice for drivers because you can get one for under £10k, and you get plenty for the money. The Vauxhall Astra is one of those cars where what you see is what you get. Granted, it isn’t the most exciting car you can buy but it is well-equipped, spacious and dependable. The Vauxhall Astra can provide great MPG and won’t set you back too much when it comes to running costs.
6. Ford Kuga.
Looking for an impressive family SUV? Look no further than the Ford Kuga. The Ford Kuga was loved by many of our customers because it’s practical, comfortable and won’t cost you an arm and a leg. The Kuga comes well-equipped and there are a few different options to choose from, including an impressive PHEV version. Did you know we also featured the Ford Kuga on our list of the best cars for dog owners? Due to its large load space and long body, it can be the perfect car for your furry companion.
7. Mercedes-Benz CLA.
Buying a car on finance through Refused Car Finance doesn’t have to mean you have to get a low-cost car. The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a luxury and affordable car, thanks to our used Mercedes car finance deals. It oozes style and sophistication whilst also being a powerhouse on the road. It is an executive car so there’s plenty of room up front but rear space can be limited. It probably wouldn’t be your first choice for a family car but it will certainly turn heads on the road.
8. Volkswagen Polo.
The Volkswagen Polo is one of the best cars to buy on finance because it’s affordable, cheap to run and very versatile. It’s a dependable supermini which comes with a strong body style and a range of efficient engines. The Volkswagen Polo is a reliable car with a full 5* NCAP rating for extra peace of mind. On the inside, it’s comfortable and roomy and there’s plenty of space for all. The Polo falls into a low insurance category and is also one of the cheapest cars to insure.
9. Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
The second Mercedes-Benz, popular among our customers this year, is the Mercedes Benz C-Class. The C-Class is a compact executive car that can come in various body styles. Choose from an estate, coupe, convertible or saloon to suit your needs. The C-Class comes with the luxury and style you’d expect from the Mercedes Brand. The C-Class is larger and has a more classic styling, whereas the CLA is sportier and more aggressive than the C-Class.
10. Vauxhall Corsa.
Ah, the good old Vauxhall Corsa. We feel like we mention the Corsa a lot but we can’t help that it’s one of the most popular cars to finance! It is an all-rounder. Busy family? New driver? Pensioner? The Corsa can suit you! The Vauxhall Corsa is a small car which has lots to offer. It has a decent boot size, a good scale of equipment and a range of efficient engines. If you’re looking to buy an electric car, check out the Vauxhall Corsa Electric.
