Used hybrid stock reaches record high as UK market approaches 100,000 vehicles

October 26, 2026·2 min read

MarketCheck, the UK's leading source of used vehicle market data, has today revealed that the number of used hybrid vehicles advertised for sale in the UK reached an all-time high in September 2026, with stock levels approaching the 100,000 mark for the first time.

A total of 99,237 used hybrid vehicles were on the market during September 2026, the highest monthly figure recorded by MarketCheck.

The figures highlight the rapid expansion of Britain's second-hand hybrid market over the past three years.

In May 2023, MarketCheck recorded just 43,575 used hybrid vehicles on the market. By September 2026, that figure had more than doubled.

The latest figures also show that hybrid stock has continued to grow throughout 2026, despite some fluctuations during the summer.

September's total of 99,237 vehicles represents a new high, surpassing the previous record set in March and bringing the market within 763 vehicles of the 100,000 mark.

Alastair Campbell, MarketCheck UK, commented:

"The growth in the used hybrid market over the past three years has been remarkable. We've gone from around 43,500 vehicles on the market in May 2023 to almost 100,000 today.

September represents another important milestone, with used hybrid stock reaching its highest level since our records began.

For consumers, that means significantly more choice when considering a hybrid vehicle. For retailers, it demonstrates just how quickly the used market is changing as more electrified vehicles enter the second-hand sector.

We're now approaching the point where 100,000 used hybrids could be available on the UK market at any one time, something that would have seemed a long way off just a few years ago.”
