Data compiled by Indicata has shown the Ford Kuga to be the UK’s fastest selling used car in October.

The Kuga was closely followed by the Ford EcoSport, which on average took just 30 and 31 days for dealers to sell.

Indicata’s national business development manager, Neil Gilligan, said: “Our new report should help support all used car dealers to only buy the most popular stock for their forecourt."

Ford was the most popular used car brand in October with three cars in the top ten – the Ford Kuga, EcoSport and the Fiesta.

71% of the 1,624 Ford Kugas offered for sale nationwide actually sold within 30 days. Models selling more than 300 cars in the month qualified for inclusion in the table.

SUVs continue as the consumer’s used car favourite with five appearing in the top 10. The VW UP was the fastest selling budget car with an average price of £8,590 and the Peugeot 3008 the most expensive in our list at £20,030.

Indicata recorded the fastest selling used cars out of 91,553 sold by dealers during October between six and 36 months of age*.
