Background

Founded in 2005, UsedCarExpert.co.uk (or .com/.net) is a used car buying advice site for UK motorists, visited and read by around 4m car buyers per annum. [2]

Car Buying Advice

They have a dedicated research program that uncovers the common car faults on used cars and publishes ways for the layman to spot and avoid these faults when buying a used car.

Their used car price guide is the first consumer price guide to show real average mileages and regional price adjustment. [3] [4]

They also have a significant used car review section, used car facts and figures resource and used cars for sale, both of which are regularly cited in the media.

Between 2008 and 2010 Used Car Expert published a magazine version of their website price guide and car reviews which sold in WH Smith and other newsagents around the UK, competing against What Car? and Parkers price guides. The magazine was endorsed by TV used car guru Mike Brewer.

In 2024, the website was acquired by automotive wall art brand, Limited100, as part of its expansion throughout the automotive sector. [5]
