August 2010 new car registration figures

New car registrations were 55,305 last month which is down 17.5% from a year ago with the end of the car scrappage scheme and the fragile economy blamed.
However, so far this year, new car sales remain 13.2% higher at 1,300,413 units.

Registrations fell 17.5% in August to 55,305 units compared with scrappage-fuelled 2009.
Decline marks second consecutive fall, a pattern expected to continue through to year end.
Volumes, however, are up 13.2% to date against last year, at 1,300,413 units.
Full year forecast suggests 2010 registrations will finish at 2m, up 1.2% on 2009.

From SMMT:
“New car registrations were down 17.5% in August and conditions will remain challenging through the rest of the year,” said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive. “The industry enjoyed a better than expected first half of the year and, despite the difficulties, SMMT is forecasting that new car registrations will close just ahead of 2009 figures.”
