Used Hatchback Cars for Sale

Hatchback buying guide

Most used hatchback cars listed for sale on our website - particularly the most recent models - come with an impressive range of features. Air conditioning, in-car entertainment systems, LED headlights and parking sensors are some of the advanced features you can find. But getting the right deal and best value in your next vehicle can mean a balance between features and price.

For a used hatchback car that comes with the latest features, you'll often have to pay a higher price. But if the car has a high mileage too, there's always a chance of finding a bargain. It's a good idea to look at the CO2 emissions figure too. If the vehicle was registered between March 2001 and April 2017, for example, you might not have to pay any vehicle tax at all.

One thing that you don't have to compromise on is how practical you need your next vehicle to be. Some of the options available will be better than others. So, if this is important to you, look for those used hatchback cars that come with more flexible seating arrangements in the back - are they split-folded, do they fold as one and can they create an extended, flat boot space.

Some might even come with sliding rear seats so you can increase boot space without having to do without the kids' seating space in the rear.

How high is the rear bumper? Does the door frame rise higher than the floor? You may not give these features a second thought, but they could have an impact on how you get things in or out of your boot. You might not find it easy to slide heavier or bulkier items in over the bumper. It'll also leave the risk of scuffing the bumper or paintwork.
