Used petrol cars FAQs

Should I buy a used petrol car?

A used petrol car is a good buy for a wide variety of uses. A petrol car is generally cheaper to purchase than a similar hybrid car or electric car.

How many miles is too many for a used petrol car?

Condition is more important than mileage. There’s no reason a petrol car can’t cover well over 100,000 miles provided it is well cared for, so check the service history and consider paying for a mechanical inspection to put your mind at rest.

Why are used petrol cars so expensive?

The price will vary a lot from model to model. The best petrol cars may seem pricey, but there are bargains out there and Carwow can help you find them.

Are petrol cars losing value?

Yes, over time a petrol car will lose value. This drop in the market price is steepest when the car is new, so you can save a lot if you buy a used petrol car rather than a brand-new one.
