Alastair Campbell of Marketcheck UK commented:

“Anyone on British roads will have noticed the surge in use of Teslas, and many of those were company cars or sold under the EV SalarySacrifice employee schemes.

“As these cars are coming off these deals and entering the used market, the combination of increasing volumes, Tesla’s own price cuts and higher interest rates are driving the sale price of these cars down in the used markets.

“They’re more affordable and private buyers are now starting to pick up some amazing bargains which is leading to the average days on the market starting to fall.

“We have seen 2020 Tesla Model 3s with as few as 65k miles on sale for £16k.

 

“Considering the performance and technology in these vehicles and the fact that they can be charged for as little as £5 per night this is extremely good value for money.

“There has never been a better time to buy a used Tesla in the UK market.”
