MOTORING experts have shared a list of five of the best used cars you can buy in 2024 for under £5,000.

You could bag yourself a new set of wheels in perfectly good order for the same price as the deposit on a new model.

Alex Robbins, contributing editor for The Telegraph,  wrote: "If you have £5,000 saved to spend on a car, don’t fritter it away on a deposit for a PCP finance deal on a new model; why not consider spending it on a cheaper used vehicle that you’ll own outright?

The main plus of the Auris is its phenomenally low running costs despite being a very decent size compared to most hatchbacks.

The hybrid powertrain combines an electric motor with a titchy petrol engine to eke out over 60mpg.

All the while, you pay zero road tax thanks to the model's green credentials.

Models from between 2010 and 2012 are usually well within the budget, starting from £4,500.

Honda is famed for the reliability of its SUVs in particular.
Building on the legacy of the legendary Land Cruiser, the CR-V provides "loads of space" for very little cost as well as four-wheel drive.

Alex heavily recommended the model as the perfect choice for pet owners.

And with 2006-12 examples starting from as little as £3,500 it's a great bang for buck offering.

Summer is on the way whatever the Met Office may say so what better time to enjoy a great British afternoon out in a convertible?

One excellent option for sunny days can be had from as little as £1,500 for version from 2009-15.

Dubbed best for families by Alex.

It combines a spacious interior with a "gutsy" engine and miserly fuel economy.

The model also matches the price of the Mini, with 2004-13 models starting at £1,500 even though it's a fair bit larger.

With models from between 2006 and 2014 staring at £2,500 the TT offers a top-notch sports car package at a bargain rate.

The car, named for the Isle of Man TT race, was discontinued last year so grab one while you can before the prices go up.
