Tangelo’s most popular used car manufacturers

Accounting for 20% of all manufacturers sold at Tangelo so far this year, we're not surprised to see Mercedes-Benz once again topping our sales charts. Renowned for combining luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, Mercedes-Benz continues to be a firm favourite among used car buyers looking for premium motoring without the new-car price tag.

From stylish A-Class hatchbacks and practical C-Class saloons to spacious SUVs and sporty SLK roadsters, Mercedes-Benz offers something for every type of driver. Whether customers are searching for an efficient daily commuter, a comfortable family car, or a vehicle that adds a touch of prestige to every journey, the three-pointed star remains a popular choice. It's no surprise that so many Mercedes-Benz models have found new homes through Tangelo this year.

Accounting for 13% of all vehicles sold at Tangelo during the first half of 2026, BMW comfortably claims second place on our list. Famous for delivering a sporty driving experience alongside premium comfort and refinement, BMW remains one of the most desirable used car brands on the market. We've seen countless BMWs drive away with their excited new owners this year, particularly popular models such as the compact 1 Series and the ever-reliable 3 Series. Buyers continue to be drawn to BMW's reputation for excellent performance, high-quality interiors, and impressive efficiency across its range. 

The BMW 1 Series has proven to be our most popular BMW model of the year so far, appealing to drivers who want premium features, practicality, and engaging handling all wrapped up in a stylish package.

The German manufacturer has built its reputation on producing dependable, well-equipped vehicles that appeal to a wide range of motorists, making it a consistently popular choice in the used car market.

From first-time drivers looking for an economical hatchback to families seeking versatile everyday transport, Volkswagen's range continues to tick all the right boxes. Digging deeper into the numbers, it comes as little surprise that the iconic Volkswagen Golf takes the title of our most sold Volkswagen model, with the ever-popular Polo following closely behind.

The German manufacturers completely dominate our top four, with Audi taking fourth place after accounting for 7% of all Tangelo sales so far this year. Whether it's a sleek hatchback, a versatile SUV or a sporty coupé, Audi's diverse range ensures there's a model to suit almost every lifestyle and budget. Throughout 2026, we've welcomed a variety of Audi models into stock and watched them quickly find new owners.

Rounding out our top five manufacturers is Hyundai, demonstrating just how far the Korean brand has come over the past decade. Hyundai has earned a reputation for producing reliable, well-equipped vehicles that offer excellent value for money, making them increasingly popular with used car buyers.

From efficient city cars to spacious family SUVs, Hyundai's line-up delivers practicality, comfort and modern technology at affordable prices. The standout performer for Tangelo customers this year has been the Hyundai Tucson, a stylish and versatile SUV that has become one of the most popular family cars on UK roads.
