Commentary | New Car Registrations November 2025

November saw a respectable month for new car sales, but now we need a strong December to push us over the 2m mark for the year. Our forecasts predict the new and used car markets combined will return to pre-pandemic levels next year, despite the mixed signals in the Budget on electric vehicles – more Electric Car Grants but a pay-per-mile tax to come in 2028. In our view, it’s just too soon to be eating into the cheaper running costs that electric vehicles enjoy over petrol and diesel models.”
