New car dealers' revenue is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 5.9% over the five years through 2022-23 to £101.9 billion. New car registrations have been inching downwards – the result of skyrocketing fuel prices and a weak pound restricting sales. At the same time, weak consumer confidence disposable incomes, caused by Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis – curbed spending on big-ticket discretionary products, like new cars. Many have been drawn to the used car market instead.

The vehicles sold must weigh less than 3.5 tonnes and include passenger cars, SUVs, specialised vehicles (like ambulances) and off-road motor vehicles. The sale of used motor vehicles or vehicles of a weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes are not included.
