More of the best car deals
The best-selling cars in the UK are popular for a reason. All 10 cars on the list offer affordable transport, useful technology and practical load carrying solutions that mean they meet the requirements of the vast majority of drivers.
So how do you get a deal on one of these in-demand models? Between 80% and 90% of new cars now hit UK roads by being financed using some form of Personal Contract Purchase, or PCP for short.
This page is the place to find the best PCP deals on the UK’s best-sellers. Here we’ll try to avoid tantalisingly low monthly payments calculated on unrealistically low annual mileage allowances, very high interest rates, which can be bumped up if you have a lower credit rating or bloated customer deposits.
We’ll also keep an eye on leasing deals, as the top-selling models are frequently offered at discount rates, although these deals rarely hang around. We’ll search far and wide to hopefully find the right deal on one of the UK’s best selling cars that works for you.

Best deals on the UK's best-selling cars of July 2025
Here are our picks of the best PCP deals on the top-selling new cars in the UK for the month of July:
1. Ford Puma - 2457 sold in August
£305 a month: 4 year PCP at 2.9% APR
The Ford Puma was the best selling car in the UK in 2024, just as it was in 2023, and jumps back to the top spot in August's round-up of the UK's new-car registration data. Ford’s small family SUV has benefitted from a facelift this year to keep it on the pace. The Puma is very well equipped as standard, which is why we've chosen the entry-level Titanium model here.
Ford Solutions PCP Puma offers include a low 2.9% APR, and opting for a low annual mileage limit drops the monthly payment below £300. We've bumped it up to a more realistic 9000 miles here. Vehicles are generally in stock and ready to go, too, so delivery times are as short as one week.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £4518 | 48 x £304.80 (£14,630.40) | £9241 | £28,409.19 | 9000 | 30th September 2025 |
2. Kia Sportage - 1785 sold in August
£387 a month: 3 year PCP at 5.9% APR, £1000 deposit contribution and zero deposit option available
The Kia Sportage has shot right back to the summit of the top 10 list thanks to the arrival of the Sportage facelift that's just begun appearing in dealers. Excellent value for money, as long as you don’t opt for the top of the range models, the fresh-faced Sportage has a practical interior, lots of standard safety kit and is relatively cheap to run.
The facelifted Sportage hybrid in top-spec GT-Line S trim features 19-inch alloys, black chrome detailing and front and rear heated seats, and Kia is currently offering it with a £1000 deposit contribution. A 37-month deal on this car with 10,000 miles a year is detailed below. Zero deposit is an option, taking monthly payments up to £712 with the same deal.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £10,700 | 36 x £387.23 (£13,940.28) | £21,835.68 | £47,475.96 | 10,000 | 30th September 2025 |
3. Tesla Model Y - 1650 sold in August
£349 a month: 3 year PCP at 0% APR with £2000 deposit contribution
After a significant hiatus, the Tesla Model Y makes a return to the list of top 10 best-selling new cars in the UK. In order to counter the sales slowdown of Tesla models in the UK, the firm has introduced competitive finance deals to encourage buyers to return to the brand.
Right now, you can get a freshly overhauled Model Y RWD with 0% APR and £2000 towards your deposit on a 36-month deal, with monthly payments starting at £349. The 0% APR and deposit contribution are available range wide. One thing to note is that the customer deposit required is significant, although you do get 10,000 miles a year on your deal.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £9488 | 36 x £349 (£12,564) | £23,288 | £45,339 | 10,000 | 30th September 2025 |
4. Tesla Model 3 - 1593 sold in August
£299 a month: 4 year PCP at 0% APR with £3000 deposit contribution
The Tesla Model 3 also makes a return to the top 10 new car sales charts, just behind the Model Y. As with its SUV sibling, the Model 3 has been updated recently, including mild styling tweaks, and improved interior and revisions to the suspension to make it more comfortable to drive.
If you're in the market for one of the best electric saloon cars out there, the Model 3 range is currently available with 0% APR and a £3000 deposit contribution over four years. This means monthly payments start at just £299 for the RWD model.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £8641 | 48 x £299 (£14,352) | £17,296 | £40,289 | 10,000 | 30th September 2025 |
5. Volkswagen Tiguan - 1526 sold in August
£452 a month: 4 year PCP at 7.9% APR with £1850 deposit contribution
The latest Volkswagen Tiguan might feature a design that's unlikely to set your pulse racing, but it's easier to love for its solid all-round ability as versatile, reliable family transport. It's well equipped, spacious and has a good choice of engines for all needs, too.
Volkswagen is offering a £1850 deposit contribution across the Tiguan range on a four-year PCP deal at 7.9% APR. A generous 10,000 miles per year limit is included. We've gone for the entry-level Tiguan Life, here.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £5584.50 | 47 x £452.34 (£21,259.98) | £15,492.60 | £44,197.08 | 10,000 | 30th September 2025 |
6. Jaecoo 7 - 1367 sold in August
£299 a month: 4 year PCP at 1.9% APR
The Jaecoo 7 makes a welcome new entry to the top 10 best-selling new cars list. Jaecoo might not yet be a well recognised brand, but the 7 is a family SUV that's decent to look at, good value and feels high quality, too. There are two 7 models to choose from. We've gone for the petrol powered car below, but there's also a plug-in hybrid that comes with 0% APR finance on PCP.
Opt for pure petrol power and you still get a relatively low 1.9% APR on PCP on a 48-month PCP agreement term limited to 8000 miles per year.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £4567.19 | 47 x £299 (£14,053) | £12,411 | £33,465.50 | 6000 | 30th September 2025 |
7. Audi A3 - 1290 sold in August
£278 a month: 4 year PCP at 8.9% APR with a £3575 deposit contribution
While the Audi A3 Sportback isn't dramatically different from its predecessor, it remains a very classy compact car that's packed with kit. If you take list prices into account, you'd have to work out whether the A3 is worth the premium over a Volkswagen Golf.
Audi is chipping in a £3575 deposit contribution on regular A3 Sportback models, so we've gone for an entry level A3 Sportback Sport for our example below. Go for a plug-in hybrid A3 Sportback TFSIe and you get £4500 towards your deposit and 6.9% APR.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £5939 | 47 x £277.61 (£13,047.67) | £13,672.40 | £35,619.07 | 10,000 | 30th September 2025 |
8. Vauxhall Corsa - 1290 sold in August
£180 a month: 4 year PCP at 0% APR
The Vauxhall Corsa has always been popular, hence why it's often to be found on the top 10 sales list. Synonymous with decent value, the Corsa is always competitively priced right across the range, whether you opt for petrol or electric power, and the latest version is arguably the best yet.
Opt for a PCP deal and Vauxhall is currently offering the Corsa with 0% APR, with monthly payments starting as just over £180 on a four-year deal on a Corsa YES 2025. The customer deposit is reasonable, but the offer only includes 6000 miles per year.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £4112.18 | 47 x £180.06 (£8462.82) | £7985 | £20,560 | 6000 | 30th September 2025 |
9. MINI Cooper - 1251 sold in August
£250 a month: 4 year PCP at 3.9% APR
The MINI Cooper has always appealed every bit as much to the heart as the head, and seemingly it has pulled at plenty of heartstrings this month, climbing back into the top 10 best-selling cars list.
MINI is currently offering the Cooper C with a relatively low 3.9% APR, so a four-year PCP with £3000 customer deposit means affordable monthly payments of a nice, round £250. If you work your way up the MINI range, the APR changes, so Cooper S models are 4.9% APR and JCW MINIs are 5.9%.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £3000 | 47 x £250 (£11,750) | £13,250.63 | £28,000.63 | 8000 | 30th September 2025 |
10. MG HS - 1138 sold in August
£279 a month: 4 year PCP at 0% APR
The MG HS rounds out our round-up of the top 10 best-selling new cars in the UK for the month of August. The latest HS is an all-round better family SUV that its predecessor, offering a sharper design, better quality interior and improved infotainment. There's choice of hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, too.
Opt for the MG HS Plug-In Hybrid, as we have below, and you get 0% APR and monthly payments starting at £279 over four years with a customer deposit of just over £5500. You can also do a 4.9% APR deal over the same time period which cuts the deposit to under £4000 and includes a £1000 test drive voucher and £500 deposit contribution but bumps monthly payments up to £369. Hybrid+ models start at £359.
| Deposit | Monthly Payments | Optional Final Payment | Total Payable | Mileage Per Year | Deal Available Until |
| £5528.50 | 48 x £279 (£13,392) | £13,324.50 | £32,245 | 8000 | 30th September 2025 |
Where does the car sales data come from?
The official data on the number of new cars registered each year is recorded by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The SMMT is a trade association which aims to promote the interests of its members to government, other stakeholders and the media.
The data is for the number of car registrations in a given time period, not the actual number of cars sold. For that reason, the data includes cars which are preregistered and then may be sold by dealers at a later time in order to help meet sales targets for a given month or quarter.
What is the most popular car colour?
Perhaps it's something to do with the weather, but the most popular car colour in the UK is grey, and has been for the past six years. Not only that, black and white have rounded out the top three for the same time period. But not any more, as blue is back on the podium for the first time since 2010
According to the SMMT 543,464 grey cars were registered in 2024, meaning 27.8% of new cars in the UK were chosen in that colour, the biggest-ever share. Black cars cars accounted for 423,397 cars, and 291,928 blue cars hit the roads, meaning the top three colours represented 64.5% of all new cars registered in 2024.
At the other end of the scale, turquoise turned most people off, dropping from 3627 registrations in 2023 to just 362 last year – the colour’s steepest decline and its lowest performance since 2002.
How does a PCP work?
A PCP agreement allows you to pay an initial deposit towards the cost of the car, either with cash or a part exchange, or combination of both.
You then take out a loan to be paid back over a set time in the form of monthly payments - usually over two to five years. This breaks the repayment of the loan down into much more manageable chunks, and is effectively you covering the cost of the car’s depreciation.
At the end of the agreement, you have the option to give the car back and walk away, part-exchange the car and start a fresh PCP agreement on a new car, or pay off the outstanding amount - at the point is when you actually own the car.
How can I make the monthly cost as low as possible?
The first golden rule is to make sure you don’t get sucked in by a deposit and monthly payment amount that you can only just afford. Think about what might happen if your circumstances change and the impact that this could have on your ability to keep up with your monthly payments.
As to making the PCP deal itself more affordable, if you can afford a larger deposit, this can trim the monthly payment. The length of your agreement and the number of miles you agree to drive per year make a difference, too.
Generally a longer deal with fewer miles makes for the lowest monthly payment. PCP is effectively financing the car’s depreciation, so choosing a popular car from this top 10 list should mean that it will hold its value well.
