THE BREAKDOWN OF UK CARS ON THE ROAD BY CAR AGE (2018) 7 years old + The UK used car market remains strong with 7.61 million vehicles sold in 2018. Although the number of used car sales showed a small decline of 2.2% year-on-year, the used car market remains approximately 3.2 times the size of the new car market. New car sales were marginally down in 2018 as a result of the lack of supply from 4-6 years old manufacturers which were hindered by the introduction of Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure. Despite the prevailing supply constraints, there were still 2.37 million new vehicle registrations in 2018 which is above the 10 year average of 2.35 million. Less than 3 years old The recent strong sales figures have been driven by increased petrol car sales (up 9% y-o-y), and Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) sales (up 21% y-o-y). Registrations of AFVs have increased by 290% since 2015, highlighting their popularity amongst consumers 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 60% which is pushing manufacturers to continually advance their technologies. There are 40 plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) now available in the UK market, with a further 20 due in 2019 alone. The drive for greener vehicles alongside regulatory change has instigated a structural Some dealerships are looking to reposition their properties by proactively rolling out shift in the automotive market. The majority of manufacturers now expect that a enhanced and consumer focussed aftersales services. The main determinant of this quarter of sales will be from EVs by 2023, as emphasised by average waiting times market is the number of vehicles on the road, which has risen 0.9% over 2018 to 34.6 with orders for a new factory ordered cars now taking 10-12 weeks, whilst wait times million vehicles. for EVs are often reported to be in excess of 6 months. The graph highlights that in 2018, 79% of cars on the road in the UK were over 4 years old. This underpins the strong demand for servicing, maintenance and repair, which continues to remain robust for safety, economic and performance reasons. Furthermore, this provides an opportunity for dealerships to expand and innovate their aftersales offering, and it is widely anticipated that automotive retailers will need to adopt these changers in order to maintain their respective market share. There is a distinction between the manufacturer and distributor sides of the UK motor industry which is particularly important in light of some recent notable manufacturing relocations and Brexit related noise. Not all the recent UK manufacturing relocations are Brexit related, with Honda’s recently relocating to Japan in order to better serve the larger Asian and US markets that account for 95% of their global sales. This is unsurprising as 80% of cars made in the UK are exported to over 160 different markets. In comparison, the UK car dealer market is in robust health. Car pricing will be influenced by trade tariffs but to a large extent this impact will be softened by the prevailing low interest rate environment which funds up to 90% of new car and 50% of used cars purchases. Amidst all this activity the car dealership remains central to the delivery of the evolving product and represents the key point of contact with customers with 79% of motorists buying their most recent car from a dealership. 6 VOLKSWAGEN • TERMINUS ROAD, CHICHESTER, PO19 8TX The Automotive Investment Market.
