Buying a used car is a fantastic way to acquire a great vehicle without having to part with extortionate amounts of money. After all, not everyone has the inclination or the money available to be able to afford to purchase a brand-new vehicle.
The only issue with buying used cars is that you have to be a bit more savvy and alert regarding your purchase. When you purchase a used car you will be responsible for taxing the vehicle before it is out on public roads. The price of road tax can vary dramatically depending on the fuel type and CO2 emissions. There are currently thirteen bands for road tax, ranging from £0 - £200 per year.
There are a variety of used cars currently for sale with cheap road tax rates ranging from £0 - £35. Cheap tax cars are available from a variety of different manufactures, some of our top choices include:
The famous VW Golf can be purchased across the used car market with a £0 road tax fee, there is the low-emission 1.6-litre TDI diesel versions and the plug-in hybrid Golf GTE available. The Golf gives you a great drive providing good power whilst still producing low C02 emissions.
Another popular choice on the used car market is the Ford Fiesta. Pre 2017 Fiesta models can be picked up with the 1.0 litre Ecoboost petrol engine offering £0 road tax charges. The Ford Fiesta is a cheap to run, reliable car that will retain value throughout ownership.
Peugeot’s smallest city car can also be picked up on the used car market, offering the £0 road tax incentive. This is available with either a 1.0 or 1.2-litre PureTech engine. Even though the power output of the Peugeot 108 seems unexciting, this is a very small and light car making it nippy at lower speeds.

We highly recommended that you buy your used car through a dealership instead of dealing directly with an individual. When doing this, you gain yourself a middle man; an individual who can oversee the deal and ensure both parties are satisfied and all aspects is handled according to plan. Furthermore, some dealers offer the likes of fixed price repairs, meaning you always know what you are going to need to pay for a repair, removing some uncertainty.
