2022 was a fantastic year for us here at Windmill Motors - we saw some incredible cars come and go! We’re not the only ones though - up and down the country, used cars have been selling like hotcakes. But which ones were the most popular?
The list is out, and we can finally see which used models were the most popular used cars of 2022. Let’s take a look…
Ford Fiesta
Some of the biggest news in 2022 was the discontinuation of new Ford Fiestas planned for 2023; the end of an era! There are, however, plenty of stunning used examples on the market, and it seems like many were snapped up last year; it’s no surprise to see this much-loved hatchback top the best-seller.
We currently have a selection of Ford Fiestas here at Windmill Motors, if one of these nippy future classics is for you!
Vauxhall Corsa
The Corsa makes its way towards the top of the list again in 2022, cementing its reputation as a reliable all-rounder with low running costs and a comfortable interior. Whether you’re commuting, or ferrying your small family around, you can’t go far wrong with a Corsa.
You can find a Corsa of your very own here at Windmill Motors.
Volkswagen Golf
It wouldn’t be a best-seller list without Volkswagen! The Golf is a hatchback you’ll want to consider if you like your car to be versatile, as this is as comfortable as the family runaround as it is as a solo traveller’s daily driver. With varying trim levels available amongst used models, you’re bound to find a Golf you love! Keep an eye on our website for our latest Golf models.
Ford Focus
Another high entry for Ford, and there are no raised eyebrows here - the Focus has long been very popular amongst families thanks to its well-equipped cabin and deceptively spacious interior. It’s a dynamic-looking model on UK roads thanks to the redesign that it’s undergone in recent years, so you’re bound to make an impact in your next Ford Focus.
Vauxhall Astra
The Astra provides a practical and well-equipped option for those looking for their next hatchback, so it makes sense that it was hugely popular in 2022! Despite smaller engine sizes, the Astra is still a car that feels powerful on the roads.
MINI Hatch
Cute and compact, the MINI Hatch is a classic that stands the test of time, as its presence on this list once again suggests. This car offers a dose of nostalgia alongside all the mod cons, and you can find examples of MINIs enduring appeal on our website.
BMW 3 Series
As a premium car with enough space inside to comfortably accommodate little ones, luggage, or lifestyle-associated cargo such as golf clubs, it’s no shock that used BMW 3 Series were popular throughout 2022. The most ideal cars are those that can turn their wheel to anything, and that’s certainly what the BMW 3 Series achieves.
Volkswagen Polo
Smaller than the Golf but with no less appeal, the Polo is loved by motorists far and wide, from first-time drivers to commuters and small families. It’s economical, solid in build quality, and has controls that are well laid out and easy to understand. The Polo is a great example of famous German build quality!
Audi A3
Another more luxurious list entry is the Audi A3, small enough to zip around the city, but big enough to handle life’s longer drives. Audi includes some impressive technology in their modern models, and the A3 is no exception; fall in love with it here at Windmill Motors.
Nissan Qashqai
The family favourite! The Qashqai is a crossover vehicle that has won us over in recent years, becoming an extremely popular car thanks to its SUV-like dimensions and lighter build, making it as fun to drive as it is practical. Need something like this in your life? Head over to our Qashqai page and check out the ones we have available.
