In October 2025, the Spanish used car market continued to see rising prices. The average price of passenger cars put up for sale reached €13,198, which is 1.9% higher than the same period last year. As a result, the €13,000 price barrier was surpassed for the second month in a row.
In the first ten months of this year, 1.8 million used passenger cars changed hands in the country. This is an increase of 4.9% compared to the same period in 2024. The average deal price during this time was €12,999, also reflecting a year-on-year increase of 1.7%.
An analysis of price categories shows that nearly a quarter of all cars sold (23.3%) cost less than €3,000. Meanwhile, the share of vehicles priced above €36,000 rose to 6.1%, almost a percentage point higher than last month.
Special attention is paid by experts to the segment of older vehicles. In October, the average price for cars older than eight years reached €10,530, which is 5.1% more than a year ago. These vehicles accounted for 62.3% of all sales this month—out of 210,332 cars sold, 130,078 were over eight years old.
A rise in used car prices was recorded in all autonomous communities across the country. The largest jump was seen in Navarra, where the average price increased by 8.3% to €12,666. In Cantabria, this figure rose by 7.3%, reaching €12,826.
The most expensive deals are still being made in Madrid, where the average price for a used car is €15,130—1.6% higher than last year. The top five regions with the highest prices also include Aragón (€13,514, +5.8%), Castilla-La Mancha (€13,495, unchanged), and Catalonia (€13,186, +2.6%).
The segment of older cars, especially those over eight years old, is seeing the fastest price growth. Nationwide, their average price went up by 5.8% over the year. In some regions, such as Navarra, the Balearic Islands, and La Rioja, prices for older vehicles surged by more than 10%, with average checks rising above €10,400.
Experts point out that demand remains focused on cars older than eight years. Their market share stays high, and prices keep climbing due to limited supply and steady buyer interest. Meanwhile, nearly one in five vehicles was sold for less than €3,000, indicating continued demand for budget options. At the same time, prices for newer cars are rising more slowly, although interest in them is gradually increasing.
