My bro's VW Tiguan only lost about 2-3k in 3 years which as a % is tiny and was wondering what other cars depreciate so little percentage wise?

I know theres the usual small hatches that are cheap to buy and don't loose money, but surely the Tiguan is better if you look at it as a percentage?

New Mini's always seem to hold value, or they used too!

M3 depreciated 1500 in 18 months.

RS depreciated around the same in 12 months by look of things.

Not bad considering!
