Fastest selling used car in Nottingham is Ford Mondeo

Quickest models off the forecourt across the UK named by trade bible Glass's

The fastest selling used car in Nottingham over the last month has been named by Glass's, publishers of the motor trade bible, Glass's Guide.

It is the Ford Mondeo at an average price of £7,152, at an average age of 73 months old and selling in an average of 38 days, the company's data shows.

Rupert Pontin, Glass's Head of Valuations, said: "The Mondeo has long been a firm favourite with business and family users nationwide and it is no surprise to see this as a quick used seller in the Nottingham area. Great economy and a high level of comfort combined with good spec levels across the range mean this is a great choice at almost any age."

The result for Nottingham gave a fascinating insight when compared to the priorities of different buyers in different parts of the country, he added.

"It is interesting to contrast with the unassuming but capable Mondeo, the bestseller in Nottingham, with the fun and funky Fiat 500 that tops the list in Birmingham or the high status BMW 3 Series that is the most popular in Edinburgh."

Nationally, the overall bestseller is the Dacia Sandero Stepway, taking 27 days to sell at a price of £8,346 and an average of 12 months old.

The complete regional results are:

• London - Nissan Qashqai
• Birmingham - Fiat 500
• Manchester - Skoda Octavia
• Leeds - Vauxhall Astra
• Newcastle upon Tyne - Ford Fiesta
• Bristol - Volkswagen Polo
• Cardiff - Honda Civic
• Glasgow - Vauxhall Antara
