There is no general rule, though used cars between two to five years old are a good guide. Vehicles within this age range should be in relatively good condition provided they have had proper maintenance. They will also have experienced their most significant depreciation if you are concerned about value.

t Vertu Motors, you’ll find a wide range of used cars from top manufacturers. Many offer a comprehensive manufacturer warranty giving you peace of mind throughout ownership. Toyota for example offers a warranty period of up to ten years (or 100,000 miles) with all new and used cars.

Yes. Buying a second-hand car is significantly less expensive than buying a new car. You can still enjoy driving around in a newer-style model with modern technology for a fraction of the price compared to buying new.

hen buying a used car you should make sure:

• All documentation such as the V5C logbook is present.
• The vehicle includes a full service and MOT history.
• The used car will meet your needs and you are happy with the colour, specification, and technology.
• The car is in good condition for its age and mileage and everything works correctly.
• There is no unexplained damage and the car has not been involved in any serious accidents.

This depends on your needs and how you intend to use the car. If you’re just looking for a small runaround, then a higher mileage will be fine. However, if you need a larger car for frequent long-distance journeys, then a lower mileage will be better as the car will have endured less wear and tear.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you protection when buying either a new or used car. This means that you are entitled to ask for a full refund up to 30 days after buying anything that is proven faulty or damaged.

When buying a used car at Vertu Motors, you are also entitled to a 14-day money-back guarantee if you change your mind. Learn more about the terms and conditions for this here.

Our used cars will all come with a manufacturer warranty. However, this will vary by make and model. Our helpful sales team will explain this to you based on the particular vehicle/s you are interested in.

Again, this varies depending on the make and model of the used car. However, you’ll notice that most used cars are a lot more affordable to buy than new cars. Especially when you use one of our budget-friendly finance options.
