Chasing the best second‑hand SUV under AUD $15,000? Think Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR‑V for bulletproof reliability, Subaru Forester for sure‑footed AWD, and value‑packed Hyundai ix35 or Kia Sportage if you like more kit for less.
At this money you’re usually looking at 2009–2015 petrol models with 120–220k km; condition and service history beat badges every time.
Avoid neglected examples and be wary of tired CVTs; listen for suspension clunks, check tyre wear, and demand a proper inspection and logbook stamps.
Set aside cash for immediate maintenance, then enjoy an SUV that doesn’t demand a second mortgage—how refreshing.
