Nearly 90% of passenger cars advertised on the used car market are worth less than HUF 10 million
Figure 1
In the domestic used car market in July 2025, 40.1% of the advertisements were for cars worth less than HUF 2.5 million, 26.6% for cars worth between HUF 2.5–5 million, 20.5% for cars worth between HUF 5–10 million and 12.9% for cars worth more than HUF 10 million. Compared to July 2024, the share of ads offering a car for less than HUF 2.5 million decreased by 2.2 percentage points, while the share of ads for between HUF 2.5 and 5 million remained almost unchanged. Compared to the same period last year, the share of ads between HUF 5-10 million increased by 1.3 percentage points and the share of ads above HUF 10 million increased by more than 0.5 percentage points. Taking all ads into account, the average asking price was HUF 5,400,000 in July this year and HUF 5,200,000 in the same period of the previous year.
Petrol cars account for almost half of the used car market
Figure 2
According to advertisements on the internet market for second-hand cars in July, almost 50% (53,940 units) of the cars offered were petrol cars and 41.0% (44,160 units) were diesel cars. Hybrid vehicles (petrol and diesel combined) accounted for 3.8% (4,060 units), electric for 5.0% (5,390 units) and other1 vehicles 1 for 0.3% (270 units). Compared to July 2024, there were 2,400 fewer used cars available. Compared to the same period last year, the number of electric cars in the selection of Használtautó.hu increased by 31.5%, while that of cars with other types of propulsion increased by 17.4%. In addition, the number of petrol cars decreased by 2.0%, that of diesel cars by 5.3% and that of hybrid cars by 3.8%.
Diesel cars covered on average more than 40% more kilometres than petrol cars
Figure 3
There is a positive relationship between the age of used cars and the number of kilometres driven. In terms of mileage, there is a large difference between the two main fuel types. The average mileage of advertised petrol cars was 157,000 km and that of diesel cars 221,000 km, i.e. diesel cars covered 40.8% more kilometres than petrol cars. The average age of the petrol cars advertised was 14.1 years and that of the diesel cars 12.3 years. The number of kilometres driven by petrol and diesel cars advertised in July grew by 1.3% and 2.3% respectively compared to July 2024. The average age of petrol cars increased by 1.4% over a year, while the average age of diesel cars increased by 3.4%.
Hybrid cars are currently the most expensive on the used car market
Figure 4
Looking at the average price of used cars by drive system, we see that hybrid cars are currently the most expensive on the market (average price in July 2025: HUF 12,420,000), with a 5.3% increase in one year. In contrast, the price of electric vehicles has fallen by 4.2% in one year. The price of petrol and diesel cars changed at similar rates over the period under review, with average prices close to each other. Diesel cars were more expensive than petrol cars in the months observed, by 5.9% on average. Of the five categories observed, vehicles in the other categories were the cheapest.
The data for the month of July show that several factors influence the price of used cars.2
All other things being equal, a petrol car loses 7.1% of its value every year, while a diesel car loses 7.9%. The average annual price decrease is 7.9% for electric cars, 6.3% for hybrids and nearly the same, 6.5% for other passenger cars.
Every thousand kilometres driven reduces the price of a car by 0.2%.
While a 100 cc increase in displacement increases the value of a car by 3.3%, a 10 kW increase in power increases the value by 3.8%.
Compared to cars in normal condition, those in excellent condition are on average 24.6% more expensive, those in spared condition 12.2% more expensive, those in undamaged condition 22.8% more expensive and those in nearly new condition 26.2% more expensive than the benchmark. The price of damaged, faulty cars is on average 59.2% lower on the same benchmark.
Volkswagen brand cars remain the most frequently advertised
Figure 5
The ranking of the 10 most popular brands remained relatively stable during the period under review. Since January 2024, there has been a longer-term decline in the number of advertisements among brands, but a slight increase has been observed since January 2025. Volkswagen had the most ads in July, with more than 7,000, followed by BMW with approximately 6,500. There was a change between places 3-5 between Opel, Ford and Mercedes-Benz, which had an advertising volume of between 5,500-6,000, followed by Audi with over 4,500 cases. There was a change in the 7th–8th place between Škoda and Toyota, which brands were listed in July with between 3,000 and 4,000 advertisements. They were followed by Renault with less than 3,000 cases. In addition, the 10th and 11th places also changed frequently according to the number of advertisements for Peugeot and Kia.
The average age of the 10 most popular brands is 12.4 years
Figure 6
The age of the cars belonging to the 10 most popular brands has shown a slow but consistent increase during the observed period. Opel, Renault, Peugeot and Volkswagen have the oldest cars, with an average age of 13–14 years in July. They are followed by Ford, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz with 12–12.5 years. The last three brands are clearly separated from each other, with Audi more than 11.5 years, BMW more than 11, and finally Škoda less than 10.5 years in the Használtautó.hu database.
The 10 most popular brands have an average asking price of HUF 5,490,000
Figure 7
The average asking price of the 10 brands with the most used car ads on Használtautó.hu shows stability. The quality differences between the brands are clearly visible. The three large, German premium brands, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, lead the order in terms of average asking price by a wide margin. They are followed by more everyday brands: Toyota, Škoda and Volkswagen in a group around 5,000,000 forints, Ford under 4,000,000 forints, and finally Renault, Peugeot and Opel in a group also under 3,000,000 forints.
Audi A6 has the highest average price among the most popular car models
Figure 8
Of the 10 most popular models advertised on Használtautó.hu in July, the Audi A6 had the highest average price (HUF 7,120,000) and the Suzuki Swift the lowest (HUF 1,640,000). In terms of age, the Kia Ceed was the youngest on average, at less than 8.9 years, and the Suzuki Swift the oldest, at around 17.9 years. For the 10 most common models, no correlation between average price and average age is observed between models this month.
