GUEST - George Mienie, CEO of AutoTrader.
The South African used car market continues to build momentum, with March 2025 showing strong month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) growth, indicating renewed consumer confidence as we move into the second quarter of the year. According to the latest data from AutoTrader, 29,896 used vehicles were sold last month, marking a YoY increase of +9.6% and a MoM rise of +3.5%. The increase in sales can be partly attributed to the fact that there were more selling days in March than in February.
