Analysis

New vehicle registrations have followed a volatile but ultimately upward trajectory, with the rolling average climbing to record highs by late 2025 (strong rental purchases) before a sharp December dip; March 2026 marked the peak (14,361 units).

Used imports are different - with prolonged structural decline from ~9,400 units in early 2024 to a trough in April 2025 — their weakest month - with only modest, inconsistent recovery since.
