2nd hand/ex demo "year old" examples are advertised (ebay, auto
trader) for 24000 or 24500, usually in cheapo white.

If these cars retain 45% value after 3 years shurely these used
prices are way over the odds?

What gives?

They are generally what's known as pre-registered. The dealer sort of buys
the cars himself to get the discounts offered by shifting over a certain
number. So they are generally new and unused, but you become the second
owner. Possibly last year's model too. But can be a good buy if the price
is right.

Obviously check the mileage. Some hire companies might change cars every
year. Or some lease deals. But those should be much cheaper.
