Top 10 Cars with the Highest Resale Value in the UK

Variant: Macan 2.0T
Retained Value: 63.04%
Average New Price: £55,675
Average Retained Value: £35,100

If you're looking for a car that won't lose its value too quickly, the entry-level Porsche Macan 2.0T is a solid choice. After three years, it retains over 63% of its value, which is a great sign of how much demand there is for used versions. With no more diesel options, this model stands out for keeping running costs low. Sure, it’s not as exciting to drive as the more powerful V6 versions, and you won’t get that signature V6 roar, but it’s a smart pick if you're looking to spend less on depreciation in the long run.

Variant: V220 2.0d Extra Long Premium
Retained Value: 63.16%
Average New Price: £75,680
Average Retained Value: £47,800

It might surprise you to see a Mercedes van among the cars that hold their value the best, but the V-Class is a solid performer. The Mercedes badge always carries weight, and with the V-Class being a go-to choice for high-end private hire services and airport shuttles, it makes sense that it retains more than 63% of its value after three years. This Extra Long model offers seating for up to eight people and delivers a respectable 47.1mpg with its 220d engine. It’s got the reputation, space, and features to make it a smart buy if you’re after something that won’t lose value too quickly.

Variant: 1.0 TCe Bi-Fuel Essential
Retained Value: 63.35%
Average New Price: £18,745
Average Retained Value: £11,875

If you're after a car that doesn’t lose its value too quickly but don’t want to break the bank, the Dacia Duster is a standout option. The Duster is one of the most affordable cars in this list, and even after three years, it holds more than 63% of its value. For £11,875, you’re getting a smart, reliable ride that’s easy on your wallet. If you’re willing to spend a bit more for a higher-spec version, you'll find that Dacia models in general hold their value well, thanks to their affordable starting prices and steady demand for used ones.

Variant: P270e PHEV
Retained Value: 63.81%
Average New Price: £152,770
Average Retained Value: £33,675

Land Rovers and Range Rovers tend to hold their value well, especially in the UK. Despite some reputation for reliability issues, their stylish, classy image, strong off-road abilities, and limited availability keep them in demand, which helps prevent rapid depreciation. The Land Rover Discovery Sport, in its P270e plug-in hybrid form, is a prime example, retaining nearly 64% of its value after three years. It’s not just a good investment—it’s also a practical and comfortable ride, with seven seats and a cosy interior, making it a solid choice for those who want both luxury and utility.

Variant: 2.8D Invincible
Retained Value: 63.94%
Average New Price: £74,995
Average Retained Value: £47,950

Toyota Land Cruisers have built a near-legendary reputation for reliability and longevity, meaning they don’t lose value quickly. The latest model is set to follow the same trend. Part of the reason is that Toyota has limited its UK stock, with the current allocation already sold out and no clear plans for future availability. This has driven up prices above the list price, but after three years, once the initial hype dies down, experts predict it will still hold nearly 64% of its original value. If you’re after a tough, reliable vehicle that’ll stand the test of time, the Land Cruiser is a solid bet.

Variant: Flying Spur V8
Retained Value: 65.61%
Average New Price: £177,760
Average Retained Value: £116,625

There’s something about being in or even just looking at a Bentley Flying Spur that makes life feel a bit better. Whether you're behind the wheel, lounging in the back, or just admiring it from your driveway, the luxury and style are hard to beat. And surprisingly, the Flying Spur holds its value well for a big luxury saloon. After three years, the V8 model retains an impressive 65.61% of its original value. Sure, it’s still a drop of about £60,000, but no other luxury saloon comes close in terms of retained value. Honestly, though, you might want to keep it for longer than three years—it’s the kind of car that makes every drive feel special.

Variant: 911 GT3 (Manual Gearbox)
Retained Value: 67.79%
Average New Price: £149,060
Average Retained Value: £101,050

When it comes to holding its value, the manual version of the Porsche 911 GT3 stands out as a winner in the 911 lineup. While PDK might be the go-to choice for some, there’s a dedicated group of car enthusiasts who snap up manuals as soon as they hit the used market, which helps the GT3 manual keep nearly 68% of its value after three years. Sure, the mileage is likely to be low on most GT3s after three years, but that only adds to its appeal. In the meantime, owners will enjoy one of the best engine and gearbox combos you’ll find in any car.

Variant: AMG G63
Retained Value: 67.95%
Average New Price: £194,595
Average Retained Value: £132,225

If you want a car that screams presence, the Mercedes-AMG G63 is the one to go for. It’s the priciest ride in our top ten, but it also holds its value better than most, retaining almost 68% of its £194,595 price tag after three years and 36,000 miles. With its bold look, booming V8 engine, and dominating stance, the G63 is always in demand—and likely will be for years to come. It's a car that turns heads and keeps its value, no matter how many miles you put on it.

Variant: 110 P300e
Retained Value: 68.79%
Average New Price: £86,600
Average Retained Value: £59,575

The Land Rover Defender has been a consistent performer when it comes to holding its value, and the 110 P300e plug-in hybrid is no exception. It’s the model that keeps its value the best right now, staying strong with nearly 69% of its £86,600 price tag after three years. While the 90 model has been popular too, the 110 is currently the one that depreciates the slowest. If you buy one for £86k today, you can expect it to still be worth nearly £60k after three years—a solid return for a tough, stylish ride.

Variant: 718 Cayman GT4 RS
Retained Value: 69.64%
Average New Price: £128,300
Average Retained Value: £89,350

If you're after the car that loses the least value in the UK, look no further than the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. It's the only Porsche to top the 911 GT3 in value retention. With its limited availability, iconic badge, and status as the most exclusive version of an already popular car, it ticks all the boxes for slow depreciation. The RS is one of those cars that might even sell for more than its list price when it first launches. Even with 36,000 miles after three years, it will still hold nearly 70% of its original value. Plus, it’s one of the most thrilling driver’s cars out there.
