Don’t want to wait months for a new car but fancy the peace of mind you get from a long warranty? We’ve picked the best used cars with long warranties
Most new cars leave the factory gates with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty, but a handful of manufacturers are rather more generous with their cover.
That’s great news if you’re planning to keep your next car for a long time – or if you want to buy a used car that still has several years of warranty cover.
You'll find used cars for sale on our website that have years left under the manufacturer’s original warranty. Here are 10 of our favourite used cars that still have long warranties on them. Remember you can always add on our extended warranty to any Motorpoint purchase. Boom!
See what's covered by the Motorpoint Extended Warranty:
Kia Sportage
Warranty length from new: 7 years/ 100,000 miles
We’ve put the Sportage top of this list because every new Kia is sold with a seven-year transferable warranty. That means you can buy a two-year-old Sportage from Motorpoint (at a huge saving over a brand-new one, naturally), and you still have a whopping five years of warranty cover. Five years! Some people change houses more regularly than that.
We could also talk about how the Sportage is an excellent all-round family SUV that has plenty of space for all your gubbins, as well as decent infotainment technology such as Apple CarPlay. But we’re running out of space so we won’t. Oh.

Toyota C-HR
Warranty length from new: up to 10 years/ 100,000 miles
Another brand that’s made a name for itself on the back of rock-solid reliability backed by a long warranty is Toyota. And one of the Japanese brand’s biggest sellers is the C-HR, a medium-sized SUV that combines striking design with super-efficient hybrid engines and a practical interior.
As standard, C-HRs registered since June 2021 have a pretty ordinary three-year/60,000-mile warranty. Cars registered before that have a five-year, 100,000-mile warranty, but, BUT, all used Toyotas can be warrantied until they’re 10 years old or have 100,000 miles on the clock. Have your car serviced at a Toyota dealer and you’ll get a year’s warranty tacked on – regardless of how many previous services have been done at a main dealer. Not that you’re likely to need to use it, mind.

Hyundai Tucson
Warranty length from new: 5 years, unlimited miles
It’s hardly an industry secret that the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson are, under the skin, essentially the same car. They share the same choice of engines, similar interior technology and the same boot space (give or take a few litres). The choice of which you buy, then, is really dictated by which you like the look of most.
The Hyundai’s five-year warranty may be two years shy of the Kia’s, but it’s still a brilliant bit of added value when you’re buying a nearly new one from Motorpoint. Hyundai doesn’t impose a mileage limit, though – perfect if you’re a motorway mile-muncher.

MG HS
Warranty length from new: 7 years/ 80,000 miles
MG’s bigger SUV could well be its best-value model. In the HS you get vast amounts of interior space and plenty of room for five people, plus a smartly designed interior with tactile shortcut buttons for the home screen and climate control functions. There’s even a plug-in hybrid available, which is capable of 32 miles of whisper-quiet eco-friendly electric driving from a fully charged battery.

Renault Clio
Warranty length from new: 5 years/ 100,000 miles
Often, it’s manufacturers from Japan, Korea and China who offer the most generous warranties to UK customers, with many European carmakers offering a pretty average three-year deal. Renault is an exception – its cars got a five-year warranty from the date of first registration after 2019 and before 2023. Cars built after this get a standard three-year warranty.
We love the Renault Clio. It’s a supremely stylish supermini with the must-have phone connectivity, economical engines and practicality stats that some of its rivals could only dream of. The latest car also has a fantastically frugal hybrid offering which, if you spend most of your time around town, can drive on electric power alone for over half the time.

Lexus UX
Warranty length from new: up to 10 years/ 100,000 miles
Lexus is the more premium arm of Toyota, and the UX uses a lot of the same parts as the Toyota C-HR and Corolla. Its warranty is the same, too, so stick with a main dealer for servicing and your UX will be covered until the first half of the next decade.
The UX is one of Lexus’ smaller and more affordable models, but it still boasts the traditional Lexusisms – the quiet, unruffled driving experience, the impeccable build quality and the smugness that comes from knowing the hybrid system is saving loads of fuel. And the slightly fiddly infotainment system, admittedly.

Toyota Corolla
Warranty length from new: up to 10 years/ 100,000 miles
The Toyota Corolla is one of the world’s best-selling cars and one of the longest-running nameplates. It’s always been a bastion of reliability and sensibility – it’s a top choice for anyone keen to rack up a six-figure mileage – but the latest one also comes with eye-catching style, which is nice.
Now only sold as a hybrid, the Corolla is smooth, refined and easy to drive. Besides the hatchback in our pictures, it’s also available as the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports estate, which is ideal if you want to save a few quid on fuel and also carry a large dog in the boot.

Kia EV6
Warranty length from new: 7 years/ 100,000 miles
Electric cars typically have a long warranty on their high-voltage battery packs – so you can feel reassured that you won’t have to face a high cost of repair or replacement. From 2024, Kia’s electric models get an eight-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, which is alongside the standard Kia seven-year warranty. The battery warranty covers you if the battery pack drops below 70% of its original capacity in that time.
Kia’s electric cars are thoroughly impressive, with its midsize EV6 offering more talents than the majority of electric SUVs. It’s fast, fun, spacious and techy, and has a long range to boot.

Cupra Formentor
Warranty length from new: 5 years/ 90,000 miles
Cupra is the sporty tentacle of the VW Group octopus and, until recently, it offered the same three-year warranty as VW, SEAT, Audi and Skoda. But cars registered from April 2024 get a boosted warranty offering – an extra two years or 30,000 miles.
That’s simply another reason to buy a Cupra. Customers love the sporty look and feel of the Formentor crossover, Leon hatchback and Born EV, plus the high-end interior materials and the copper trimmings. The fantastic Formentor comes with petrol or plug-in hybrid options, and top models can outrun many a hot hatchback.

KGM Torres
Warranty length from new: 5 years/ 100,000 miles
The KGM Torres is an all-new model from the artist formerly known as SsangYong. It offers rugged, eye-catching looks and a huge amount of space – both for passengers and stuff. There’s a petrol or an electric one – the petrol one has a five-year/ 100,000-mile warranty, while the EV has a seven-year/ 90,000-mile one.
