The top 30 makes are tabulated for the whole of the UK, then listed by region. This means the list may not be a top 30 for everyone. So below are the 30 best selling UK brands and this is how those brands sold in Wales. The UK average was -29% for the year so -24% was quite good.
Green shows an increase (just two), purple fewer sales but market share gain and yellow negative on both counts. Ford has been top since as far back as I can go. Perhaps a Ford engine plant at Bridgend helped. The plant recently closed and Ford dropped a place. Does that have any bearing? A real coincidence if not.
Vauxhall amazingly managed to actually increase sales and is now the best selling brand in the Principality. MG is particularly popular here and now commands a top ten ranking.
