Automotive trends: Used car markets and rising mirror thefts

In Serbia, purchasing a reliable used car with a budget of 1,000 to 1,500 euros remains possible but challenging. According to Petar Veličković from the Polovni Automobili website, vehicles in this price range represent less than five percent of the approximately 76,000 passenger cars currently listed. These vehicles are typically over 15 years old with high mileage, increasing the risk of significant repair costs for engines, transmissions, or corrosion.

Meanwhile, in London, a surge in the theft of exterior rearview mirrors has been reported. In the Chelsea district, thieves targeted approximately 15 vehicles in a single night, including luxury models such as the Range Rover Sport, Porsche Taycan, Audi RS 7, and Mercedes G 580. Modern mirrors are increasingly targeted because they often integrate expensive technology, including heaters, cameras, and blind-spot sensors, making them lucrative for organized theft groups.
