New car registration data of 2015 -
Mike Hawes, the SMMT Chief Executive, said, September is traditionally one of the years biggest months for new car registrations. With plenty of attractive, affordable deals available on the new 65-plate, Britains car buyers whether private, fleet or business consumers were busier than ever. The market reached pre-recession levels some time ago, and we anticipate some levelling off in the coming months. It is too early to draw conclusions, but customer demand for diesel remained strong, accounting for one in two cars registered.
