These are the most popular used car colours sold in the UK*

In the last three months, people in the UK bought more than two million used cars. That, according to data from the SMMT, keeps the UK’s used car market at “near recent record highs”.

As you would expect, the top ten used cars bought over the last three months nearly mirrors that of the new car market. Ford’s Fiesta and Focus took the top two spots, followed by the Vauxhall Corsa, VW Golf, Vauxhall Astra, BMW 3 Series, An Mini, VW Polo, Renault Clio and Audi A3.

Where’s your imagination, Britain? Think of all the lovely old Defenders and TVRs and Jags and Alfas just sitting there waiting to be snapped up and have your entire life savings poured into? Anyway. What was interesting is that the SMMT also revealed the UK’s favourite used car colours.

So, over the last three months, here’s what you snapped up. Counting down from 10…

As referenced by this rather yellow and really rare Ferrari Sergio. Look, it’s more interesting than an Audi A3, anyway.

Yay for orange! This colour, interestingly, “showed the strongest growth” over the last three months, with sales of orange coloured cars up 9.9 per cent.

Come on Britain, beige? Really? Why not look at this picture of a Chiron instead.

Interestingly, this was the most popular used car colour in 1996. Maybe don’t repeat that sentence to any of your friends, mind. Show them this Porsche 911 GT3 RS instead.

Ah, rosso you say?

Ah, white, every muddy pond’s trusted ally.

We once spent an unnecessary amount of time detailing fifty shades of this particular colour. The reason escapes us. Here’s one of them.

The Focus was the UK's second best selling used car over the last three months. Here's a blue Focus. RS.

Evidenced by a Mercedes-AMG E63 S doing excellent, silly things.

We suspect the UK’s used car market doesn’t offer many Batmobiles up for sale. But anyway, here’s a Batmobile.
