Dear Colleague,
This week’s new passenger car registration figures showed that the market declined by -2.9% in February. Positively, the alternative fuel vehicle segment continued to expand significantly, with battery electric vehicles up 243.1%. The light commercial vehicle market decreased by -2.0% following two months of growth. For a copy of the registration figures, please visit https://www.nfda-uk.co.uk/reports/statistics.
The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) has published their guide on consumer law for the UK used car industry. It was disappointing to see that following a number of responses, including our detailed comments on the draft guidance consultation, they have ignored the majority of the issues NFDA and other organisations had outlined. Please find more details in the news.
