UK production of new cars fell for a 12th consecutive month in February, according to the latest data from industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
A total of 73,814 cars left factories across the UK last month, down 7.6% compared with the number produced in February 2024.
The SMMT cited “soft markets at home and overseas" as a contributing factor in the decline. Production for the domestic market was down by 33.3%
