I reveal five overlooked car brands whose SUVs can deliver serious used-market value—and explain why the biggest savings may come from depreciation, warranty coverage and servicing history.

I cover the Skoda Karoq and Kodiaq, Suzuki Vitara, Honda CR-V, KGM Rexton and Genesis GV80, including capped-price servicing, warranty checks, towing, fuel costs, parts availability and the compromises that come with each one. I also explain why a four-year-old Genesis GV80 can cost far less than it did new.

I finish with practical checks before buying any of these vehicles, including the VIN, recall register, service stamps, local workshop support, tyres and chassis condition. I also cover the Subaru Forester and Outback issues buyers need to understand before signing a deal.
