New used car dealer companies in the UK, by month

Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 · 6,572 in total

Previous months August 2026

Registrations dip over Christmas and pick up in the new year in almost every trade, so compare a month with the same month a year earlier rather than with the one before it.

2015 to 2026

How far back it goes.

Used car dealers companies on the register by year of incorporation, and this year measured against the same run of months last year.

New used car dealer companies in the UK, by year

2015 to 2026 · 2026 counts January to August only

Complete years 2026, part year
January to August 2026 4,388 New used car dealer companies so far this year
Same months, 2025 4,154 Up 6% year on year
2025, the last full year 6,338 Against 907 in 2015

Older years undercount. The register only holds companies that still exist. Anything formed in an earlier year and since dissolved has dropped off it, so the further back the chart goes the more it undercounts. That alone makes every trade look like it is growing. Some of the rise here is real growth and some of it is simply that recent companies have had less time to close. The long view of UK company formation works through it in full, across all 39 trades.

Sep 2025 – Aug 2026

Where they're starting up.

Every town with a page of its own for new used car dealer companies: 42 of them, covering 48% of the UK total for the trade. The rest are spread thinly across towns too small to count reliably.

New used car dealer company registrations by town. The bar shows the twelve-month figure relative to London, the largest. The mark and the bar carry the transport and logistics family colour.

Towns come from the post town on the registered office address, except where that office is a formation agent: those companies are counted in the town established from their directors' other companies, or not counted at all. A town needs at least 30 new used car dealer companies in twelve months before it gets a page, so the rows above do not add up to the national total. How towns are worked out.
