April car sales figures suggest there is pent-up demand for new models Rob Hull For Thisismoney.co.uk © Provided by This Is Money MailOnline logo The motoring industry showed shoots of recovery in April with dealers posting strong sales despite showrooms being shut for half of the month.   A total of 141,583 new cars were registered in April, an artificial 30-fold increase on the same month a year ago, when dealerships were forced to shutter their businesses.

That total was 30 times higher than in April 2020, when the first national lockdown wiped out 97% of sales and reduced the motor trade to levels not seen since 1946, during rationing and the aftermath of the second world war. While the comparison with the 2020 closure of every dealership in the country flatters 2021 figures, they remain 13% lower than the 2010-19 monthly average, the SMMT said. It expects 1.86m car sales in 2021, 14% higher than 2020 and slightly better than previous forecasts, thanks to the speed of the UK vaccine programme. “After one of the darkest years in automotive history, there is light at the end of the tunnel,” said Mike Hawes, the SMMT’s chief executive. “A full recovery for the sector is still some way off but with showrooms open and consumers able to test drive the latest, cleanest models, the industry can begin to rebuild.”
