Covid-19: The silver lining for the second-hand car trader.

Its boom time for motorists and the used car market, July saw the new car market take a dip but used car sales grew 108.6% in the second quarter of 2021 according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

More than 2 million vehicles changed hands, up 6.6% on 2019 pre-pandemic levels, the best Q2 performance and almost the best quarter ever for the used car market.

This has seen an increase in both new traders riding the crest of the wave and previously experienced traders re-entering the market after a difficult 18 month period.

In addition to this new A-rated insurers have entered the market to both diversify and add a competitive angle to a previously hard market.
