3 Ultra-Cheap Used Japanese Cars Older UK Drivers Are Buying Instead Of New EVs In 2026

New EVs cost over £40,000. A used Toyota Yaris Hybrid, Honda Jazz or Mazda 2 costs a fraction of that — and runs for a fraction of the price. So why is the mainstream car press ignoring this trend?

In this video, we break down exactly why older drivers across the UK are walking away from the EV revolution and choosing used Japanese cars instead. We cover real prices, real running costs, fuel economy, insurance, road tax, servicing, depreciation — and the honest pros and cons of each car.

Cars covered:
🔵 Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2012–2020) — from £4,000
🔵 Honda Jazz (2015–2020) — from £5,000
🔵 Mazda 2 (2015–2023) — from £4,500
