Fiesta rated best used car by values experts

Ford Fiesta, Britain’s best-selling car, has been declared Used Car of the Year 2012 by CAP.

Top of CAP’s criteria when choosing its Used Car of the Year were affordability, practicality, reputation and popularity in the used car market.

Mark Norman, of CAP, said: “It is always tempting for the motoring media and other industry observers to take ‘the petrol head’ approach when giving awards to cars which excite them, but the CAP Used Car of the Year Award recognises the contribution a car makes to both consumers and dealers.”
