New UK car registrations fall 1% monthly in February? SMMT

Wednesday, March 5, 2025

Registrations of new cars fell by 1.0% last month, figures showed Wednesday.

Industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders said 84,054 new cars were registered in the UK in February.

That compares with 84,886 during the same month last year.

The fall was driven by a 17% drop in deliveries of petrol cars.

There was a 42% increase in the uptake of pure battery electric cars, resulting in a market share of 25%.
