Why Now is the Perfect Time to Snap Up a Used Electric Vehicle
The used car market in 2025 is offering a golden opportunity for anyone considering a used electric vehicle (EV). Prices for used electric vehicles have dropped significantly, making them an incredibly attractive option for savvy buyers.
At Car Auction Buying Service, we specialise in sourcing high-quality used electric vehicles from trusted auction houses, ensuring our customers get the best possible deals without the hassle.
What’s Driving the Price Drop?
Several key factors are pushing used EV prices down:
- Increased Supply: A flood of ex-lease and fleet vehicles are returning to the market.
- Rapid Depreciation: EVs tend to depreciate faster due to rapid technological advances and battery concerns.
- Market Saturation: With so many models available, competition among sellers is fierce, leading to better deals for buyers.
In fact, the average price of a used EV in the UK fell by 1.6% month-on-month in March 2025, sitting at around £25,190. Some models, like the second-generation Nissan Leaf, are now available for as little as £10,700 — a staggering £5,500 less than just a year ago.
With Car Auction Buying Service, you can take advantage of these market conditions. We guide you through the entire auction process, from identifying the right vehicle to completing the purchase seamlessly.

Why Buy Through Auction?
Buying through auction has always been a smart choice for those in the know. Now, with EV prices dropping, auctions offer even greater value. Here’s why:

- Wide Selection: Access hundreds of EVs from across the country.
- Speedy Process: Find and secure your next car quicker than the typical retail route.
