Motorists are facing a massive used car premium with some second hand vehicles costing some £26,000 than a brand new model. 

Ongoing shortages in the supply chain coupled with the spiralling cost of living crisis has seen the price of used cars rocket. 

A nearly new Landrover Defender with a list price of £62,000 will cost £10,000 more if the car is second and car relatively low mileage. This is especially true if the car is bought using a PCP plan, which are affected by changes in the interest rate. 

Buyers of cars such as the Landrover face paying a premium of more than £100,00
