Record number of used cars sold in Sweden in 2017: Here are the most popular

Used cars are experiencing a surge in popularity in Sweden, where 646,000 previously owned vehicles were bought in the first half of 2017 – more than the entirety of 2016.

The figures come from car industry organization the Swedish Association for Motor Retail Trades and Repairs (MRF). Their numbers show that sales of used cars up to five years old increased by five percent in the first half of 2017.

The organization also revealed Sweden's top ten used cars in terms of sales during 2017, and it seems the Swedes are a somewhat predictable bunch on that front. The three most popular were the Volvo V70, Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Passat.
