UK car production rises say latest SMMT figures

The SMMT has reported growth of new car production in October 2022. This 'bounce back' is welcome news after a tough time for the industry.

More than 69,500 cars rolled off UK production lines in October - this is a rise on September's figures but still almost  50 per cent short on pre-pandemic levels.

So, what does this mean for you?

Well, any increase in production is good news for those of us wanting to get our hands on a new car but it will be slow growth  and lead times on new cars remain, in many cases, around the 9-12 month mark.

"There are cars available for quick delivery," says Scott Allen, OVL's Sales Director, "but it is a case of being open minded to the make and model you are looking for and letting experts, like our team, navigate you through these tricky times. Our contacts ensure we have up to the minute information on an ever changing marketplace."
