We checked out the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) Used Car Sales in the last quarter of the year, and have found out some interesting stats…

The UK’s used car market declined in 2020 as the number of cars being bought fell by 1,182,146 in comparison to 2019. This rounds of 2020 as the lowest performing year since 2012 as lockdown swept the nation creating it impossible to predict customer spend and the viability for businesses to open and sell.
