Discover used Tesla cars for sale at Vertu, from the best-selling Model 3 saloon and Model Y SUV to the premium Model S and Model X. As the brand that brought electric cars into the mainstream, Tesla pairs long range and rapid performance with its own Supercharger network and over-the-air software updates, so a used example is a smart way into class-leading electric motoring. Every used car at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues and backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee, with flexible finance and free home delivery available.
More than any other brand, Tesla turned the electric car into something people actively wanted, combining long range, rapid performance and a minimalist, software-led approach that reshaped the market. Every Tesla is fully electric, and the used market is where that technology becomes far more affordable than the original price suggested.
The used Tesla range covers the Model 3 saloon, the Model Y SUV, and the premium Model S saloon and Model X SUV. Whichever body style suits you, there is a used Tesla built around it, and every one runs solely on electric power with access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network.
Every used car at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car is not right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.
Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, is available across our used car range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards your next one.
Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. Because electric cars take much of their depreciation early, a used Tesla can put a longer-range or higher-performance version within reach for the same outlay, while keeping the low running costs of driving on electricity.
Charging is where Tesla still leads. Owners have access to the Supercharger network, one of the most extensive and reliable rapid-charging systems in the country, which takes much of the stress out of longer journeys and remains a standout reason to choose a used Tesla over many rivals.
The ownership experience is unusual too. Teslas receive over-the-air software updates, so a used car can gain new features and improvements long after it left the factory, keeping it feeling current in a way few conventional cars manage. The minimalist, screen-led cabin is distinctive and easy to live with once learned.
Then there is the core appeal: long real-world range, rapid acceleration even on standard versions, and low running costs from home charging and minimal servicing. Together they make a used Tesla a compelling, forward-looking buy.
The table below groups the Tesla range by body type, with a note on why each one makes sense used and the fuel types you will find.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples span several model years, so specification and features vary by age and trim. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.
WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.
A few things are worth understanding when buying a used Tesla. On charging, owners can use the Supercharger network for rapid top-ups on longer trips, as well as charging at home or at other public chargers. Real-world range depends on the model and version, with Long Range variants covering more miles between charges than Standard ones, so it is worth matching the car to your typical journeys.
On technology, Teslas come with Autopilot, a suite of advanced driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping. Some cars have paid upgrades like Enhanced Autopilot added, which can carry over to the next owner. It is a driver aid rather than a self-driving system, so you stay in control at all times. Battery health, range and which software features are enabled vary from car to car, so a colleague can confirm the details of any specific used Tesla.

Spreading the cost of a used car is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.
Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.
A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. Our finance explained guide sets out the options in full.
Yes. Electric cars like Teslas have far fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel models, which means less to wear out or go wrong, and the batteries are designed to last for many years. Teslas also score well for drivetrain dependability, and over-the-air updates keep the software current.
As with any used car, condition and history matter, and battery health is worth checking on an EV. A colleague can talk you through the history and battery condition of any specific used Tesla.
It depends on what you need. The Model 3 is a sleek, well-priced saloon that suits most drivers and offers strong value used, while the Model Y adds SUV space and practicality on the same platform, making it ideal for families.
For premium space and the longest range, the Model S saloon and Model X SUV are the flagships, the Model X offering up to seven seats. A colleague can match the right model to your budget and driving.
Tesla batteries are designed to last for many years and a high mileage, typically retaining a large share of their original capacity over a long period. Some gradual reduction in maximum range is normal over time, as with any electric car, but it tends to be modest.
Battery health varies with age, mileage and how a car has been charged, so it is worth checking on any used EV. A colleague can talk you through the battery condition and range of any specific used Tesla.
The Supercharger network is Tesla's own system of rapid chargers, one of the most extensive and reliable in the country. It lets Tesla owners top up quickly on longer journeys, and is one of the biggest advantages of owning a Tesla, taking much of the stress out of long-distance electric driving.
Teslas can also charge at home and at other public chargers. A colleague can explain charging options and what to expect from a specific model.
Autopilot is Tesla's suite of advanced driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping, fitted to its cars. Some used Teslas have paid upgrades such as Enhanced Autopilot added, which can transfer to the next owner and add further features.
Autopilot is a driver aid rather than a self-driving system, so you remain in control at all times. Which features a specific used Tesla has depends on the car and any upgrades applied, so a colleague can confirm.
Yes. Vertu offers PCP and HP finance across its used car range, and accepts part-exchange towards any car. A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth, and Vertu will still buy vehicles that have finance outstanding to settle.
PCP keeps monthly payments lower with an optional final payment, while HP splits the full cost into fixed payments until the car is yours. Our finance explained guide covers each option in detail.
Yes. You can reserve or buy a used car online through Vertu, choosing home delivery or collection. Free home delivery is available up to 30 miles, and every used car comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee, so you can change your mind after it arrives.
