Second-hand cars for Tesco

TESCO has launched into the second-hand car market in Britain in the group’s latest venture to expand outside traditional supermarket retailing.

Tesco Cars went live online yesterday offering an internet-only service for buyers of used cars.

Its move to tap into the £24 billion (€27.17bn) motor market comes after Tesco bought a significant minority stake in online dealership Carsite for an undisclosed sum.
