Your next diesel car, hassle-free
Yes, diesels are under scrutiny, but let's be realistic: if you do high annual mileage or your journeys are mainly on the motorway, a used diesel is still a very sensible economic choice.
When a used diesel makes sense
If you drive more than 20,000 miles a year and most of it is on the motorway, the fuel economy of a modern diesel is hard to beat. A Euro 6 diesel (2019 onwards) is cleaner than you might think and offers incredible efficiency at 55-65mpg on the motorway.
That said, if you live in a city centre and drive mainly in urban areas, a hybrid might work out better for you. Diesel shines on long journeys where its 55-65mpg really makes a difference.
Diesel cars are sold with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Browse used automatic cars for sale to see only the automatics, with the different kinds of automatic gearbox explained.
