New Car Registrations A Quarter Up On 2009 |
The scrappage scheme appeared to have fuelled the eighth consecutive month of growth in the new car market, as it accounted for 19.6% of sales.
With the scheme coming to an end at the end of the month, the SMMT said new registrations were likely to decline in the second half of this year.
Although the February 2010 total of new registrations reached 68,686, this was 1.3% below the February 2008 figure and 12.2% below the average for the month of February from 1999 to 2009.
The top-selling models in February 2010 were:
1 Ford Fiesta
2. Ford Focus
3. Volkswagen Golf
4. Vauxhall Astra
5. Vauxhall Corsa
6. Hyundai i10
7. Volkswagen Polo
8. BMW 3 Series
9. Kia Picanto
