Used cars in County Durham

County Durham stretches from the coast at Seaham, through numerous towns, into wide, rural landscapes and meets the edge of the North Pennines. Drivers here face a real variety of roads – from the tight lanes in old villages and winding countryside A-roads, to busier routes like the A1(M). Winter brings occasional snow and ice, particularly on higher ground, so a car that’s prepared for all weathers is something to keep in mind. It needs to be able to tackle the school run and trips to the supermarket, too. County Durham is exempt from the Clean Air Zone initiative, so daily emissions charges aren't an issue for drivers in the area. Still, many prefer lower-emission petrols, diesels and hybrids for running costs and longer journeys. Popular models include reliable hatchbacks, superminis and small SUVs. Before you buy, check for a current MOT and regular service history, especially with the mix of terrain and weather the North East can throw at your car.

AA Cars have 3,401 used cars listed in County Durham, 711 used cars are listed with approved franchised dealerships. 42% of second hand cars in County Durham are priced over the national average. This indicates there might be room for negotiation on any deal.

  • Are there any driving restrictions in County Durham?

    Always look out for local parking restrictions or seasonal closures on high routes in poor weather. Make sure you pay attention to pay-and-display rules and residential permits, particularly in city or market town areas. There are many bridges in County Durham, so remember to check weight limits if you are towing a caravan or trailer.

  • What is the best car type for driving in County Durham?

    Hatchbacks and small SUVs are a solid choice. They’re easy to park in town and have enough comfort, clearance and grip for rural roads or wintery spells. If you live in hilly or more remote villages, a car with good visibility, working heating and reliable tyres makes a noticeable difference.

  • Are there any charges to be aware of in County Durham?

    It depends on where in the county you choose to visit. There's a Road User Charge in place to enter Durham City, which must be paid in advance or within 24 hours of entry. There are no emission charges for private cars in County Durham. However, parking fees apply in many town shopping areas, so check signage before you leave your car.

  • What is the most popular car in County Durham?

    Cars like the Ford Fiesta and Mercedes A-Class are especially popular in County Durham – practical, efficient and affordable for local commutes and family use. Volvo XC40s and Nissan Qashqais are also a common sight for people who prefer crossovers that handle rural roads with a bit more confidence.

  • Are electric cars suitable for County Durham?

    Yes, electric cars are growing in popularity across County Durham. The area has an expanding public charging network, including points in Durham City, market towns and some rural spots. Electric cars are well-suited to local commutes, with improved support for longer journeys over time.
