UK used-car sourcing market — live report
Not an annual PDF. This page regenerates from Dealerly’s pipeline, which scans 7 UK marketplaces every 5 hours.
Price direction across tracked listings
| Direction | Listings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Rising | 756 | 13% |
| Falling | 683 | 12% |
| Stable | 4,166 | 74% |
A falling-heavy split favours patient buyers: sellers repricing downwards are sellers who overpriced at listing. A rising-heavy split means stock is moving and hesitation costs money.

Method
Dealerly scans eBay, Motors, Cinch, Gumtree, Cazoo, Facebook Marketplace and PistonHeads every 5 hours. Listings are enriched with DVSA MOT history and DVLA vehicle records where a VRM is visible, deduplicated across platforms by VRM on the same basis, and scored against real dealer-retail comparables — similar cars for sale at dealers, matched like-for-like. Aggregates on this page are computed from that pipeline at page-generation time; no figures are hand-entered. Individual listings are never republished here.
