Ford proves most popular among Motorpoint customers with the brand featuring three times in its top five best-selling cars of last year.

The car supermarket sold a total of 40,000 cars last year, with the Ford Fiesta being the most popular model by far, followed by the Ford Focus and the Vauxhall Corsa. The Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Astra rounded off the top five of cars bought by Motorpoint customers across the company’s eight sites – Birmingham, Burnley, Chingford, Derby, Glasgow, Newport, Peterborough and Widnes.

Managing director of Motorpoint, Mark Carpenter (pictured), said: “Ford is definitely the manufacturer of choice with our customers, followed by Vauxhall, Hyundai, Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen. Ford lead the field when it comes to build quality, handling, performance and overall value for money and based on predictions for 2015 we don’t see that changing in the immediate future based on their current model range.”
