About Vauxhall's car range
Vauxhall's current UK range centres on the Corsa supermini, the Astra family hatchback (available as both hatchback and estate), the Mokka small SUV, and the larger Grandland SUV. The Corsa in particular has consistently been one of the UK's best-selling cars over the years, reflecting its position as a mainstream, budget-friendly choice for a huge range of drivers.
Vauxhall has historically had a strong presence in UK fleet and company-car business alongside its retail sales, and that combination has helped keep the brand a familiar sight on UK roads for decades.
That fleet and retail history means there's a large and varied used market for Vauxhall models, especially the Corsa and Astra, spanning a wide range of ages, mileages and price points. Ex-fleet cars can be a relatively affordable way into a used Vauxhall, though as with any used purchase, it's worth checking the service and ownership history carefully before you buy.
Financing a Vauxhall car
Buying through a Vauxhall dealer will typically mean being offered finance through the dealership as one option at the point of sale. That's a fine starting point, but it's only one route — comparing it against independent lenders through a site like this one lets you check whether a better-suited deal is available elsewhere.
Whichever route you take, compare the same basics: deposit required, contract length, total amount repayable over the term, and, on a PCP deal, the mileage allowance and the options available at the end of the agreement. Our HP car finance calculator can help you compare how repayments look across different terms, and it's worth checking your numbers against our affordability/settlement calculator before you commit, or before paying an agreement off early.
Because Vauxhall's used market spans such a wide range of budgets and buyer circumstances, from an affordable used Corsa to a family Grandland, it's worth comparing lenders that cater to a broad range of situations rather than assuming one type of finance suits everyone.
- Moneybarn — considers a broader range of credit histories than some mainstream lenders, which can suit the wide mix of buyers drawn to an affordable, high-volume model like the Corsa.
- Oodle Finance — an online lender focused on used car finance, with a straightforward digital application that can suit buying a used Vauxhall quickly.
FAQ
Q: Why are there so many used Vauxhalls on the market?
A: Vauxhall has historically had a strong presence in UK fleet and retail sales, especially with models like the Corsa and Astra, which means a large number of used examples come onto the market each year across a wide range of ages and prices.
Q: Can I get finance on an ex-fleet Vauxhall?
A: Yes, ex-fleet cars are financed the same way as any other used car. It's still worth checking the service and ownership history carefully, since fleet vehicles can carry higher mileage than a private car of the same age.
Q: Is it worth comparing finance on a lower-cost car like a Corsa?
A: Yes. Even on a lower-priced car, the total cost of credit and the monthly payment can vary between lenders, so a quick comparison is worthwhile. Our HP car finance calculator can help you see how different terms affect repayments before you choose.
