Used-vehicle sales rankings show what shoppers keep choosing on the secondhand market. Two datasets feed this list: iSeeCars share rankings for vehicles aged one to five years, and Edmunds fourth-quarter 2025 figures for current-model-year used models. Here are twelve of the most-purchased used vehicles across both lists, trucks and sedans included.

1. Ford F-150: Pickup Stays on Top
The F-150 holds first place among one-to-five-year-old used vehicles with a 2.8% share, per Carscoops coverage of the iSeeCars data. The truck held the same rank a year earlier.
A repeat win at the top suggests steady demand rather than a one-year spike. Shoppers hunting for a used F-150 should expect plenty of listings, though heavy demand can also keep asking prices firm. Trim level, mileage and cab configuration still shape what any given truck costs, so the headline share is only a starting point.
2. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Silverado Holds Second
The Silverado 1500 ranks second among used vehicles aged one to five years, with a 2.5% share, according to the Carscoops ranking. That position is unchanged from 2024.
Together with the F-150, the full-size Chevrolet pickup shows how strongly American buyers lean toward trucks on the secondhand market. Its steady position implies a deep supply of examples for anyone comparing. Comparing cab size, engine choice and mileage across several listings remains the surest way to find a fair price.
3. Nissan Rogue: Compact SUV on the Rise
The Rogue climbed from seventh to fifth in the 2025 used-car ranking, picking up a 1.7% share of one-to-five-year-old sales, as the Carscoops table shows.
Movement of two places in a crowded list points to growing used demand for compact crossovers. Buyers considering the Rogue can expect healthy availability, which tends to help with comparison shopping. Condition, mileage and history reports matter more than rank when a specific vehicle is being weighed.
4. Chevrolet Malibu: Malibu’s Big Jump
The Malibu leapt from 29th to eighth in the 2025 used ranking, taking a 1.5% share of one-to-five-year-old sales, per Carscoops reporting.
A move that large stands out in any ranking. A sedan with that kind of surge may reflect shoppers looking for a lower-priced family car, so those interested should check condition and history closely before buying. Even so, a surprise on a ranking is no substitute for a full inspection and a clean history report.
5. Ram 1500: Ram Takes Third
The Ram 1500 ranks third among one-to-five-year-old used vehicles with a 1.8% share, holding the same rank as in 2024, according to the iSeeCars study.
With the F-150 and Silverado ahead, Ram completes a podium of full-size pickups. Used truck shoppers weighing the three can use the share figures to gauge how common each is in the market. Differences in cab size, engine and mileage will matter far more than a fraction of a percentage point.
6. Chevrolet Equinox: Equinox in Fourth
The Equinox sits fourth with a 1.8% share of used vehicles aged one to five years, unchanged from 2024, as iSeeCars’ popularity study reports.
As the highest-ranked crossover on this list, the compact Chevrolet SUV shows how strongly shoppers favor that body style. Steady placement year over year hints at dependable supply for buyers who want one. Comparing trims and mileage across several listings is still the practical route to a fair price.
7. Ford Explorer: Explorer Moves Up
The Explorer rose from eighth to seventh in the used ranking, with a 1.5% share of one-to-five-year-old sales, per the iSeeCars data.
A single step upward is modest, yet it shows the three-row Ford holding its appeal among families. Shoppers can treat the placement as evidence of broad availability rather than a guarantee of value. Pricing and condition vary widely, so each example deserves its own inspection before any offer is made.
8. Toyota Tacoma: Tacoma Slips Back
The Tacoma fell from sixth to tenth in the used ranking, holding a 1.5% share of one-to-five-year-old sales, according to the iSeeCars table.
A four-place drop still leaves the midsize pickup inside the top ten. Because it shares the same percentage as several rivals nearby, the ranking reflects tight competition, and buyers should compare condition rather than rank. Trim, mileage and drivetrain still drive the final price more than any single ranking position.
9. Toyota Camry: Camry Leads Edmunds
The Camry tops Edmunds’ fourth-quarter 2025 list of most-purchased current-model-year used vehicles, with an average used price of $28,805 against $33,506 new, as Edmunds’ quarterly report details.
That gap of $4,701 is the largest among the Edmunds entries here. Shoppers who accept a used example of the latest model year capture a meaningful discount while still getting a nearly new sedan. Mileage and condition still vary by example, so each car deserves a full inspection and history check.
10. Honda CR-V: CR-V Takes Second
The CR-V ranks second on Edmunds’ fourth-quarter 2025 list, averaging $33,219 used versus $36,834 new, according to Edmunds’ used-car report.
The $3,615 difference shows what a buyer saves by skipping the showroom for a current-year crossover. At those prices, comparing certified programs and warranty coverage becomes especially worthwhile. Mileage on the Edmunds list is also worth checking, since examples at this age typically show light wear. Crossover shoppers can weigh that saving against warranty coverage and any desired options.
11. Honda Civic: Civic Is the Cheaper Option
The Civic places fourth on Edmunds’ fourth-quarter 2025 list, averaging 10,436 miles and $27,211 used versus $29,658 new, per the Edmunds figures.
Its average used price is the lowest of the four Edmunds models here, and the mileage is modest. Compact buyers hoping to stay under budget have a clear reason to consider a recent-year Civic. Trim level and warranty status still shape the final price on any individual car.
12. Toyota RAV4: RAV4 Rounds Out the List
The RAV4 ranks fifth on Edmunds’ fourth-quarter 2025 most-purchased current-model-year used list, at $30,612 used versus $34,549 new, as Edmunds’ quarterly data shows.
A $3,937 difference between used and new leaves room for options that a shopper might otherwise skip. Compact crossover buyers can use the numbers to negotiate or decide whether waiting for a new model is worthwhile. Mileage, trim and remaining warranty will still move the real price of any individual vehicle.
