OUR experts on the auction floor give you the lowdown on what’s selling and what’s sitting

What’s hot

Mazda6 diesel
Dealers are all over the revitalised Mazda brand, and the Mazda6 diesel is one of the best in a burgeoning range

Peugeot 206 CC
There are more and more new affordable metal roof convertibles on the market, but none have reached the used buyer yet, apart from the 206 CC, which keeps prices high

Late plate Omega
The last of the Omegas were fully kitted and buyers love its size, equipment levels and comfort – a cracking secondhand buy much sought after

What’s not

BMW 3-series Compact
The 1-series makes it look old, and new shape Audi A3’s are hitting the market nearly new, and buyers are going for those instead

Ford Focus
The Focus just keeps selling and selling, but end-of-life means supported fleet deals and short-term cycles, which are pushing secondhand prices down

Mercedes-Benz A-class
The soon-to-be replaced effect is putting pressure on values, even though the new A-class is not here until next year
