Used cars sold in Poland during the first half of 2026 had a median age of 10 years and a median price of 67,421 złoty, according to an analysis by online vehicle platform Carvago.
The median price was 0.2% lower than a year earlier. Median mileage increased by 571 kilometres to 99,885 kilometres.
Carvago compared Poland with six other European markets and reported that Poland had the highest median vehicle age in the group. The company did not disclose its sample size or provide a detailed methodology, so its findings cannot be directly compared with official registration or transaction data.
Petrol vehicles accounted for 54.1% of the Polish used-car market, down 0.1 percentage point. Diesel’s share declined by 1.6 percentage points to 30.8%.
Electric cars remained at 2.2%, while hybrids gained 2.5 percentage points to reach 10.5%. LPG and CNG vehicles represented 2.2% of the market.
SUVs increased their share by 3.8 percentage points to 44.5%. Hatchbacks accounted for 18.5%, estate cars for 14.6% and saloons for 10.8%.
Volkswagen was the leading brand with an 8.2% share, followed by Audi at 7.5% and Toyota at 6.9%. The Kia Sportage was the most frequently purchased model, accounting for 2% of the market. The Škoda Octavia, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Tucson followed, each with a share of about 1.8%.
Carvago reported that the median age of used cars in the Czech market was 6.1 years. Electric vehicles represented 5% of that market, compared with 2.2% in Poland.
The company also published separate figures covering orders made through its platform in Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. These figures are not limited to Polish buyers.
Cars ordered through Carvago had a median age of four years, median mileage of 69,000 kilometres and a median price of 100,706 złoty. Electric vehicles accounted for 24.8% of orders across the seven markets, compared with 39.3% for petrol cars, 24.5% for diesel vehicles and 10.9% for hybrids.
The Škoda Octavia was the most frequently ordered model on the platform, followed by the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen ID.4. Four electric cars appeared in the 10 leading models: the Volkswagen ID.4, Škoda Enyaq, Tesla Model 3 and Volkswagen ID.3.
The difference between the platform’s orders and Carvago’s broader Polish market estimates may reflect its cross-border inventory and the profile of consumers purchasing vehicles online.
