Used car sales resilient, with only a slight decline in April

“This trend speaks to the ongoing strength of the used car arena as consumers seek reliable, well-priced options in a changing economic landscape.”

While the Ranger topped the model chart, Toyota led the pack at brand level, shifting 5,150 units in April. Volkswagen followed with 4,034, while Ford came in third with 3,151. Interestingly, the Ranger was Ford’s only representative in the top 10, whereas Toyota claimed four spots — more than any other brand.

All three of the leading brands posted YoY growth, but also recorded MoM declines. Toyota was up 4% YoY and down 1% MoM. Volkswagen had the smallest YoY increase (+3%) but the biggest MoM fall (-6%). Ford enjoyed the strongest YoY growth (+7%) but also saw a 2% MoM drop. Among the top 10, only Kia bucked the trend with a +6% MoM rise while Suzuki held steady. Suzuki also had the biggest YoY surge, growing by 15%.

In raw numbers, the Ford Ranger led April’s used car sales with 1,724 units. It was followed by the Toyota Hilux (1,435 units) and the Polo Vivo (1,159 units). At a variant level, the Polo Vivo 1.4 remained the country’s best-selling used model, clocking in 923 sales. Its turbocharged sibling the Polo 1.0 TSI came in second with 707 units. Rounding out the list were the Hilux 2.8 GD-6 (634), the Ranger XL (539) and the Hilux 2.4 GD-6.
