With city cars sitting at the cheaper end of the spectrum, there’s generally less to go wrong with them, and they should cost less to fix too.
So the main things to be aware of concern the cosmetic condition, particularly any damage that might have come from parking. These include dents, scuffs, door dings and kerbing damage on the alloy wheels. Providing the damage isn’t too extreme, this should be relatively affordable to repair, though is still worth factoring into the cost.
Make sure to check for a proper maintenance record too. At this price, owners might have scrimped on servicing, which could cause potential issues down the line.
Looking to buy a used car? Here's some help and advice to get you through to purchase.
Use our comprehensive checklist to ensure you know what to look for when buying a used car.
Considering car tax, insurance and fuel consumption before you buy will help keep costs to budget.
As the name suggests, city cars make a tremendous amount of sense in urban areas, where their small dimensions are a perfect fit with narrow streets and parking that can be hard to come by.
But even though many city cars might still have quite a small footprint, some have a decent amount of space inside, and could quite easily be used by smaller families.
They’re also ideal for those shopping on a budget, with typically compact and efficient engines resulting in low running costs, while also making these models cheaper to insure – something worth thinking about for new or younger drivers in particular. They’re generally quite inexpensive to buy too, making it more affordable to buy a newer car that might still be in warranty.
The city car market isn’t quite as popular as it once was, but there’s still a great selection of choices. Platform sharing is quite common in this class, so you’ll notice that the Peugeot 107/8 Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo are largely the same car, and likewise with the Seat Mii, Skoda CItigo and Volkswagen Up!. All of those models listed are sound choices.
If you fancy something with a bit more style, it’s hard to go wrong with the chic Fiat 500 or indeed a Mini. There are an increasing number of electric options too, though these will be noticeably more expensive to buy. Great EV options include the Mini Electric, Honda e and Fiat 500e.
