Used Cars in Preston

Preston sits at the heart of Lancashire, bridging city life with lush countryside. If you’re thinking about buying a used car here, remember that Preston blends both urban hustle and rural charm – busy streets through the centre and winding roads out into the Ribble Valley. Around the centre, you’ll encounter a network of one-way systems, bus gates and regular roadworks near the station and shopping districts. Beyond, the landscape opens up – expect twisty lanes, noticeable hills and often rainy weather that can turn roads slick or prone to flooding. That makes a car with good grip and visibility a smart choice.

Local drivers often opt for small hatchbacks for everyday town driving, while crossovers and small SUVs make sense for rural routes, especially in winter. There’s no Clean Air Zone, but emissions still weigh on planning in residential pockets. For motorists, it pays to double-check road regulations and parking permits before heading into the city centre – rules can change quickly.

Browse some of the best used cars Preston has to offer in our vehicle listings. Our advanced search tools can help you find exactly the car that you want. Use our make, model, transmission or fuel type filters to narrow down the results. Enjoy added extras such as vehicle history checks and AA inspections when you buy through us.

  • Are there any driving restrictions in Preston?

    Yes – but not in the way you might expect. There’s no Clean Air Zone, but bus gates like the one recently applied on Corporation Street strictly limit access to buses, cyclists and Hackney carriages. Cameras enforce these restrictions, so always plan ahead if your route winds through the centre.

  • What is the best car type for driving in Preston?

    For quick trips in town, compact hatchbacks fit the bill – they’re nimble, easy to park and efficient. If you spend time on hills or slip-prone rural roads, a crossover or small SUV offers better visibility and grip – a functional mix for both city and country driving.

  • Are there any charges to be aware of in Preston?

    There’s no congestion fee, but parking in the city centre often costs – and many spots require a permit. As with restrictions, violations around bus lanes or gates can hit your wallet, so check signs and rules before you park.

  • What is the most popular car in Preston?

    You'll mostly find cars like the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and compact SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai – cars known for being dependable, practical and comfortable on both town streets and open roads.

  • Are electric cars suitable for Preston?

    Absolutely. A growing number of EV charging points are becoming available – from public outlets in car parks to home installation options. For example, Avenham car park now features multiple EV spaces near ground-floor exits. Charging infrastructure is steadily improving, making EVs increasingly practical for both commuters and countryside drivers.
