Full list of 10 cheapest cars to insure in 2025
Many new drivers - or even those still learning - forget to consider car insurance when they're thinking about getting a new car. However, car insurance can be costly, with a number of different factors being taken into account.
Insurance premiums can vary widely, as factors such as age, driving history, and safety features, are taken into consideration when it comes to insuring different makes and models. According to MoneySuperMarket, in the UK, cars are categorised into one of 50 insurance groups.
Group 1 is the lowest risk and cheapest to insure and Group 50 - the fastest and flashiest cars - the highest risk and most expensive to cover. However, factors like age play a big role in how much you pay for car insurance.
This means that the cheapest cars to insure for new drivers differs from what is generally cheaper for everyone. Among the many factors taken into account when calculating premiums are the model of car, the driver's details and claims history.
Also considered are the car make and model, car modifications, and annual mileage. The driver's occupation and age are also factored into the decision.
MoneySuperMarket has created a list of the cheapest cars to insure, in order to give drivers an idea of the types of cars that are generally less expensive.

Dwellers in the Northern Irish city have a total of £923.28 left over every month after bills, spending 57.9% of their wages on wifi, rent and other costs. The average resident spends £1343.47 per month on outgoings, which is one of the lowest compared to other UK cities. The figure is a whopping £884.74 more than what locals in Plymouth have to live on after other outgoings are paid. Residents in the port city spend 93.5% of their wages on bills, leaving £117.54 left over at the end of the month. And plenty of other residents in the UK cities also have little to spend after shelling out on their mortgage and other bills. In Nottingham, the average household has just £175.53 worth of disposable income to play with every month after spending £1313.72 on bills. Meanwhile, in Birmingham residents have just £268.39 left over after paying £1728.36 on utilities. And the figures show that earnings after tax also varies greatly from city to city.

It comes despite the spending on energy falling by 9%, from £110.20 a month to £100.20, as Ofgem's new energy price cap came into force. Mortgage costs have also reduced as the market pins its hopes on a base rate cut in August. But many of these dips have been offset by other rising household costs such as childcare and water bills. Childcare and school costs have risen by 10%, while water bills have risen by 11% on average. Back in April, the average annual water and wastewater bill increased by £123, taking it from £480 to £603. Lis Barton, chief customer officer of MONY Group - the parent company of MoneySuperMarket - said checking you're getting the "best deal on essential household bills could soon add up to savings". She explained: "Energy bills have eased off for many this summer, helped along by a lower price cap, milder weather, and more fixed-rate deals on the table - offering a bit of breathing space in a still-volatile market. "However, there are some bills that are more difficult to cut, like water and childcare costs."

How to cut your bills IF you're struggling financially, you might be able to cut the cost of your bills to help you get out of the red. Council tax: You can apply for a council tax reduction on the website but you'll need to meet certain criteria. Your bill could be cut by as much as 100 per cent if you're on a low income or claim benefits. Carers who look after someone in the household for at least 35 hours a week are also exempt from paying. Water: Households might be able to save money by getting a water meter but it all depends on how much you're using. To check if it's finacially worthwhile, use the Consumer Council for Water's free ater meter calculator. Rent: If you have the space available and your landlord or local authority says it's ok to do so, you might want to consider getting a flatmate. Not only will you split the cost of the rent, but also the other bills. Hire purchase: If you're struggling to make your repayments on your hire purchase, you can usually end the contract by returning the goods. You will have to pay all the instalments due up to the time you end the agreement but this will limit the amount you owe. Contact Citizens Advice for free for more help with this. Gas and electricty: MoneySavingExpert says families can save £330 on average by switching from Standard Variable Tariffs (SVTs) to a better rate. Use a comparison site such as MoneySuperMarket or Energyhelpline to see what deals are available. Mortgage: If you get into debt with your mortgage payments, don't wait for your lender to chase you. Work out what you can afford using the Citizens Advice budgeting tool so you can discuss your payment options moving forward with your mortgage provider. Secured Loan: Your secured loan might be covered by the Consumer Credit Act and if it is, you may be able to apply for a Time Order. This is a special agreement by the courts allowing you more time to make payments. Secured loans not covered by the Consumer Credit Act include gas, electricity or water meters, payments that need to be written off in full, mortgages, credit union loans, loans from an employer and some short term trade agreements. County Court Judgements: If you receive a County Court claim form talk to a free debt advice service straight away. This includes Citizens Advice (0808 800 9060), StepChange (0800 138 1111) and the National Debtline (0808 808 4000). TV licence: Some households are eligible for a reduced fee or free TV Licence.

Motoring expert says this 'impressive' used car blows all competition away
A used car expert has commented on a used car that won awards when new, but is now a popular model on the second hand vehicle market A used car expert has highlighted how impressive one popular small car, claiming that few rivals can match the vehicle. Motoring enthusiasts are often giving tips for people looking for new vehicles on what to aim for. Just recently, an expert claimed one used car is "the most reliable" in the world. But now another car has come to the fore – the Mini Cooper. The vehicle was reinvigorated as a brand and motor vehicle when it was revived by BMW in the early-2000s. Since the car was brought back to life, now as the MINI, it has become a hit among millions of drivers around the world. As a result, it has become a fan favourite on the used car market for it's smart handling and reliability. Discussing the car, Auto Express ' Richard Dredge praised the Anglo-German model. He said: 'In 2016 the MINI was crowned Best Premium Small Car at our New Car Awards for the third time in a row. It was our overall Car of the Year in 2014. Then and now, the MINI is up against some stiff competition, but we reckon that none of its rivals can match the ever-popular model's cheeky looks, efficient engines, engaging dynamics and low running costs.' On which version of the MINI people should buy, Richard said it all depended on what option packs you were after and whether one would be happy with a manual or automatic gearbox, but recommended the Cooper. He explained: 'Air-con had to be specified at the time of ordering as a no-cost option on the One/One D and Cooper/Cooper D models, so check it's fitted. The One is spartan, so we'd go for at least a Cooper. 'Pin down what options or option packs are included on any potential purchase; the list is extensive. The Pepper and Chili packs bring different features depending on the trim level.' He also noted it was "impressive" how high the MINI MK3 ranked in AutoExpress' survey among owners. Whilst the MINI as a brand may be strong in the UK, there is uncertainty over the future of its Oxford plant. Earlier this year, in February, it was announced that parent-company BMW had announced a decision to delay the reintroduction of electric car production at the facility. In a statement, they said: 'Plant Oxford is at the heart of Mini production, manufacturing and exporting a range of models, which are sought after in the UK and around the world. "However, given the multiple uncertainties facing the automotive industry, the BMW Group is currently reviewing the timing for reintroducing battery-electric Mini production in Oxford. 'We have informed the UK government of our decision to review the timeline for reintroducing battery-electric production in Oxford. "As part of this discussion, we agreed not to take the previously announced grant, but we remain in close dialogue about our future plans."
