Because the calculations are made not only month-on-month but also on a quarterly and annual basis, underlying trends are readily revealed.

DrivenData Ltd, which compiles the New Car Price Index, calculates the information from its long-established New Car Database, widely recognised for being up-to-the-minute, reliable and accurate.
The company’s car and van databases include more than 3,500 vehicles and 300,000 pieces of information about every new vehicle on sale in the UK.
