Sales of taxis decreased 12.2% in December to 216 units.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "A second year of substantial decline is a major concern, as falling consumer confidence, confusing fiscal and policy messages and shortages due to regulatory changes have combined to create a highly turbulent market. The industry is facing ever-tougher environmental targets against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty that is weakening demand so these figures should act as a wake-up call for policy makers. Supportive, not punitive measures are needed to grow sales, because replacing older cars with new technologies, whether diesel, petrol, hybrid or plug-in, is good for the environment, the consumer, the industry and the exchequer. Despite the overall decline in 2018, demand for new cars in the UK remains solid, with volumes on a par with the preceding 15-year average, and the market still the second biggest in the EU, behind Germany. It is also one of the most diverse, with buyers able to choose from some 350 different models available in fuel types and body styles to suit all driving needs. Meanwhile, more than 80 exciting new generation models - 31 of them plug-in electrics - are set to make their showroom debuts in 2019, and with some compelling deals on offer, the industry is continuing to invest to grow the market despite the headwinds."

Sales of taxis decreased 5.3% to 215 units in November.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "Model and regulatory changes combined with falling consumer confidence conspired to affect supply and demand in November. The good news is that, as supply constraints ease, and new exciting models come on sale in the months ahead, buyers can look forward to a wide choice of cutting-edge petrol, diesel and electrified cars. It’s now critical that a Brexit deal is secured to boost consumer confidence and provide a stimulus to the new car market as we enter the New Year."

According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) on November 5, UK car sales decreased 2.9% to 153,599 units in October 2018.
Year-to-date sales decreased 7.2%, with 2,064,419 cars registered in the first ten months of 2018.
October sales for Ford decreased 14.1% to 16,820 units (11.0% market share), Volkswagen sales decreased 0.7% to 13,666 units (8.9% share), while Mercedes-Benz sales decreased 3.5% to 11,716 units (7.6% share).

Of the five most popular vehicles in October, 5,564 Ford Fiestas; 3,765 Volkswagen Golfs; 3,339 Mercedes-Benz A-Classes; 3,297 Volkswagen Tiguans; and 3,283 Ford Focuses were sold.

In October, private car sales decreased 1.0% to 69,231 units (45.1% share), fleet sales decreased 5.2% to 79,611 units (51.8% share), and sales to businesses increased 10.0% to 4,757 units (3.1% share).
Sales of all vans to 3.5 tons increased 14.1% this October to 28,494 units.
Sales of trucks between 3.5 and 6.0 tons increased 62.7% to 732 units in October.
Sales of taxis increased 81.5% to 196 units in October.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "VED upheaval, regulatory changes and confusion over diesel have all made their mark on the market this year so it’s good to see plug-in registrations buck the trend. Demand is still far from the levels needed to offset losses elsewhere, however, and is making government’s decision to remove purchase incentives even more baffling. We’ve always said that world-class ambitions require world-class incentives and, even before the cuts to the grant, those ambitions were challenging. We need policies that encourage rather than confuse. Government’s forthcoming review of WLTP’s impact on taxation must ensure that buyers of the latest, cleanest cars are not unfairly penalised else we will see older, more polluting cars remain on the road for longer."

Of the five most popular vehicles in September, 12,227 Ford Fiestas; 10,660 Vauxhall Corsas; 8,005 Mercedes-Benz A-Classes; 7,033 Nissan Qashqais; and 6,931 MINIs were sold.

Sales of taxis decreased 9.6% to 179 units in September.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "With the industry given barely a year to reapprove the entire European model line-up, it’s no surprise that we’ve seen bottlenecks and a squeeze on supply. These are exceptional circumstances with similar declines seen in other major European markets. The good news is that, as backlogs ease, consumers and businesses can look forward to a raft of exciting high-tech cars and a market keen to recover lost momentum."

UK car sales increase 23.1% in August
According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) on September 5, UK car sales increased 23.1% to 94,094 units in August 2018.
Year-to-date sales decreased 4.2%, with 1,571,986 cars registered in the first eight months of 2018.
August sales for Volkswagen increased 62.6% to 11,255 units (12.0% market share), Ford sales increased 21.4% to 11,208 units (11.9% share), while Audi sales increased 20.3% to 7,581 units (8.1% share).
BMW sales in August increased 30.2% to 5,998 units (6.4% share) and Vauxhall sales decreased 24.0% to 5,078 units (5.4% share).
Of the five most popular vehicles in August, 4,552 Ford Fiestas; 4,180 Volkswagen Golfs; 3,207 Volkswagen Polos; 1,902 Ford Kugas; and 1,847 BMW 3 Serieses were sold.
Compared to last August, gasoline-engine car sales increased 39.1% to 58,619 units (62.3% share), diesel-engine car sales decreased by 7.7% to 27,986 units (29.7% share), and alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) sales increased 88.7% to 7,489 units (8.0% share).
In August, fleet sales increased 19.7% to 50,157 units (53.3% share), private car sales increased 23.3% to 41,438 units (44.0% share), and sales to businesses increased 166.4% to 2,499 units (2.7% share).
Sales of all vans to 3.5 tons increased 5.0% this August to 16,394 units.
Sales of trucks between 3.5 and 6.0 tons increased 52.7% to 617 units in August.
Sales of taxis increased 192.3% to 76 units in August.
Mike Hawes, CEO of SMMT said "It’s great to see such strong growth, particularly in the important electric vehicle market. However, given August is always a small month in new car registrations ahead of the important plate-change month of September, it would be wrong to view the market as booming. Indeed, this past month has seen some significant variances as regulatory changes have disrupted some supplies. In the long term, however, the new emissions certification test will give consumers renewed confidence in the performance of all vehicles, helping them choose the latest, cleanest technology that best suits their driving needs, whether that be petrol, diesel, hybrid or plug-in."

It’s great to see alternatively fuelled vehicles benefiting from this growth, and government’s acknowledgement of the vital role new-tech diesel will play in its Road to Zero strategy should help more even more motorists benefit from the latest, safest and low emission technology over the coming months."
