Used Diesel cars

Let’s say you do a lot of long-distance motorway commuting or driving, with occasional European road trips, plus the daily driving duties. Chances are you are better off with a highly fuel-efficient diesel car that also eats up miles effortlessly with its torquey engine. Diesel cars can be less refined and more polluting than petrol cars, but they are still the most frugal option of the two.

The only thing to note while picking a used diesel car is the emission standards. Some older diesel models have higher emissions, newer ones, especially the ones that meet Euro 6 standards, are a better option as they are exempt from low emission zone charges, even ULEZ in London. Depending on the model, diesel cars could also be more expensive to service and maintain. But if it ultimately comes down to outright fuel economy, there’s no better option than a used diesel car!

  • Should I buy a diesel or petrol car?

    After evaluating your annual mileage and use, and if it involves long-distance/motorway driving plus a lot of miles, a diesel would be better than a petrol car. With a diesel, you get better cruising capabilities and much more fuel economy. This can add up to a lot of savings on annual fuel costs. However, if it’s short mileage, and mostly city use, a petrol will definitely be the better option.

  • Is it worth buying a diesel car?

    Yes, it is worth buying a diesel car today. Most diesel cars are highly fuel-efficient, returning over 45mpg and up to 70 mpg. So, if your commute involves long-distance driving, a diesel is always the better option.

  • How many miles can a diesel car engine last?

    Modern diesel engines are highly reliable. With good care, timely service and oil change, they can last over 300,000 miles easily. However, this varies between different models. Some diesel car engines last while some others may require work like timing chain/belt and turbocharger replacement after crossing 100,000 miles.

  • Can you jump start a diesel car?

    Yes, you can jump start a diesel car. It is the same process as a petrol car, although a diesel engine requires more electrical power to start, especially when cold.
