It was a busy start to the year for Northern Ireland’s car retailers with a jump in sales reported in January.
Latest data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders showed that 4,687 new cars were registered during the month, up 12.6% on the year.
The move follows a relatively solid performance for the market in 2022 where the market recovered from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and apes similar rises across other regions. Across the UK as a whole, 131,714 new cars were registered in January, up 14.7% on the year.
