Welcome to our Monthly Market Intelligence Report, featuring the latest insight from the UK's largest new and used car platform.

In this edition we explore topics such as:

  • Despite the short-term disruption from the Euros and general election, activity remained strong as site visits to Auto Trader grew by 10% year-on-year.
  • June marked the strongest market health for used cars in over a year, with a 15% year-on-year improvement - driven by supply constraints in younger cohorts and strong consumer demand.
  • With demand remaining strong and supply constrained, used cars sold every 29 days in June, two days faster than the same time last year.
  • Used car sales growth continued in June, with estimated transactions up 5% in the first half of 2024.
  • Used car retail prices continued to fall in June, declining 10% on a like-for-like and year-on-year basis, driven by pricing pressures in nearly new and 10-15-year-old cars where supply exceeds demand
  • Retail price growth improved in segments where supply was constrained and demand was strong, including 1-3 and 3-5 year old cars.
  • On a month-on-month basis, retail prices moved broadly in line with seasonal trends (-0.5%), although slightly below the pre-pandemic average.
