Used hybrid cars FAQs

What is the best second-hand hybrid car to buy?

You can’t go far wrong with a Toyota Prius – or any Toyota hybrid for that matter.

Toyota has championed hybrid cars long before most manufacturers took an interest, so they know how to build a reliable and efficient hybrid. A used hybrid made by Toyota is good for well over 100,000 miles of reliable driving if the car is cared for properly.

The Honda Civic is a cracker, too, as is the Peugeot 308 Hybrid.

Are used hybrid cars reliable?

You might think that having an engine and an electric motor means a hybrid has twice as many parts to go wrong. In practice, that’s not the case. The electric motor reduces the strain on the engine, and as a rule the electrical components are reliable. Some of the most durable and hassle-free used cars are hybrids.

Are used hybrid cars worth it?

Some car buyers see used hybrid cars are neither one thing nor the other. Unlike a fully electric car, they still produce exhaust emissions. What’s more, they’re more complicated and often more expensive than a conventional petrol model.

We disagree. Whether you are considering a full hybrid or a plug-in hybrid, these used cars are fuel-efficient and easy to live with. The best used hybrids are reliable and cheap to run, with lower emissions than a petrol or diesel on most journeys. So yes, for the right used car buyer hybrids are worth it.

How much are used hybrid cars?

They’re usually very reliable. Although more complicated than a car that relies entirely on a petrol or diesel engine, the electric motor takes some strain away from the engine, especially when pulling away and at low speeds. The best used hybrid cars are some of the most reliable models you can buy.

Will a hybrid car last 10 years?

Yes, a lifespan of 10 years should be no problem for a hybrid car. A quality hybrid that’s serviced on time and well cared for should easily last for more than a decade.

Will hybrid cars be phased out?

Yes, eventually. As hybrid cars still emit some pollutants from their engine, they will be banned from sale as new cars in 2035, alongside petrol and diesel cars. This ban was originally set for 2030 but has been delayed by five years.

When the original ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars was announced, some hybrid cars with lengthy all-electric ranges were going to be exempt, but that is no longer expected to be the case.
