Murcia’s average vehicle is now more than 15.5 years old, and Clicars has opened its first local hub there. The company aims to help families replace unreliable cars with affordable, fully checked models without paying new-car prices.
The new Clicars Point is in Puente Tocinos, at Carretera de Alicante, 62. It is the company’s seventh physical location in Spain. Murcia’s car fleet is one of the oldest in the country: ANFAC reports that for every new car sold in Murcia, almost three cars over ten years old hit the road. More than a quarter of cars there have no environmental badge. ANFAC says: “Across Spain, the average age of the car fleet has reached 14.6 years, one of the highest in Europe, fueling demand for affordable used and reconditioned vehicles.”
Old cars bring higher repair bills and more breakdowns, while future driving bans add uncertainty. Clicars is betting its model will appeal to drivers who need a reliable vehicle but cannot afford a brand-new car. The company offers more than 1,500 certified vehicles, instant trade-in and payment, plus next-day delivery.
Local drivers favour SUVs, which make up half of all sales. Compact cars rank next at 32%. Peugeot leads the market in Murcia, followed by Citroën, Volkswagen, Opel and Toyota. The most popular models are the Peugeot 2008, Citroën C4, Peugeot 208, Volkswagen Golf and Citroën C3 Aircross. Diesel cars still sell best, while electric and mild hybrid models are gaining ground as buyers seek lower running costs and options that can better withstand future changes.
Clicars focuses on “reconditioned” cars. Each vehicle undergoes inspection and certification at the company’s Madrid and Valencia centres, including electronic diagnostics and dynamic tests. Only cars without structural or mechanical problems make the cut. Every sale includes a 100-day or 3,000-kilometer trial and a warranty of up to three years. Recent industry reviews say the used car market in Spain continues to grow, with about 57% of transactions in August 2026 involving vehicles older than 10 years. They point to strong demand for budget-friendly alternatives to new cars, especially in regions like Murcia where fleet renewal is slow.
Customers can check the full stock online and choose home delivery or collection at the store. Financing is available with no down payment and monthly payments starting at 90 euros. The service pairs digital convenience with a local point of contact.
CEO Alejandro García Mella puts it plainly: “Many drivers are forced to keep cars for 15 or 20 years, facing mounting costs and uncertainty. With Clicars Murcia, we want to be closer to their reality and make upgrading to a younger, more reliable car a real option, not a privilege.”
Spain faces growing pressure to update its car fleet. Older cars now top the emissions charts, as reported earlier. The country’s environmental and economic future is at stake.
Clicars’ move into Murcia answers a regional need. Leaving the fleet unchanged means more breakdowns and pollution, while limiting opportunities for families. By making safer, cleaner cars easier to get, Clicars is pushing the market to face the issue. Car renewal should be possible for everyone, not just a dream. The company’s approach offers Spanish drivers another way forward, with clear guarantees and real checks alongside straightforward terms. Reliability and price matter more than status.
