UK private car deals today: 25 October 2026
Data for 25 October 2026
As of 25 October 2026, we have added 17,613 new listings to the UK car market in the last 24 hours. From these, 1,301 come directly from private sellers, offering a welcome alternative to forecourt prices. The day's standout opportunities are genuinely thin on the ground: a detailed scan shows only six private cars currently priced below the typical dealer sticker level. Sellers have clearly priced the vast majority of stock at or above the going trade rate.
For the determined handful of buyers, isolated savings are still visible. A 2016 Ford Focus appears at 39 per cent below the typical dealer price, a 2016 Citroen C3 is 28 per cent under, and a 2019 Mazda CX-3 is also priced 28 per cent below trade. With so few cars in this bracket, a quick decision may be necessary if the specification and history check out.

Before you buy
A price below dealer is a starting point, not proof of a good car. Check the MOT history, run an HPI check and see the V5C before you pay anything.
