A newly published report has revealed an unexpected leading seller for the month of October in the used car market.

Indicata’s real time used vehicle management portal has recorded the sales of more than 90,000 cars sold by used car dealers throughout the month of October, focusing on cars aged between six and 36 months of age.

While Ford is a strong contender for the top spots regardless of the time of year, it is usually the Ford Focus or Ford Fiesta which is riding high, and while both those models are performing well, it’s Ford’s SUV, the Kuga which is taking top spot.

The growing trend for SUV’s is reflected in the list, with five of the top ten used cars coming from that category, but it is the dominance of the Ford variant which is raising eyebrows. Of the 1,624 Ford Kugas sold in October, 71% sold within 30 days. The Hyundai Tuscon, Kia Sportage, Peugeot 3008 and Renault Kadjar complete the dominance of SUV.

Of the top ten fastest cars on the list, the Volkswagen Up is the most affordable, with an average sale price of £8,590, of which 359 were sold, within an average of 43 days. The Peugeot 3008 is the most expensive, with an average price of £20,030, though that hasn’t stopped it leaving showrooms within an average of 39 days.
