Registrations have also declined by -5.8 per cent on August 2019 and overall registrations remain down by -39.7 per cent in the year to date - some 600,000 units behind this time in 2019, following coronavirus enforced lockdowns.
Registrations to private buyers held relatively steady in August, down by 699 units in the month, but demand from businesses of all sizes was much more subdued, with 2,650 fewer new cars joining UK fleets.
