I need a car for one year. What year should I be looking to buy for a good resale value?

Our answer:

Hi Helen,

Any Toyota, any Volkswagen, a Hyundai Tucson or a Nissan Qashqai. Beware though — the plethora of good PCP deals around at the moment means that values for one-year-old cars are actually quite soft, as buyers are seeing better value for money in a new model. Might be worth your while buying something that’s already a year old, at a decent discount, and chop it in as a two-year old.
