That's private purchase, as it says on the very first line of the article.

Come on, at least try to read an article to check if it supports a theory, before posting it.

We are looking at total new car sales, and percentage on lease / finance.

The total number of new cars sold using finance rose 4 percent to 1.05 million vehicles with an 8 percent increase in used car sales on credit to 1.27 million.

So according to that, 1.05 million new cars 'sold using finance' (which includes leasing).

Compare that to this, total new car sales for 2017 : https://www.smmt.co.uk/2018/01/uk-ne...hest-10-years/

Which states that, for the actual calendar year of 2017, there were 2.54 million new cars registered (yes, I know some will have been pre-reg'd to make up numbers)

So going from that, approximately 40% of new car sales are on finance / lease.

If anyone has more accurate figures, feel free. I'll be happy being corrected, the numbers have come as a surprise to me too.
You've blown my mind with that Robbie, but I'm not buying it...

The 2.54 includes fleet. The total for private sales is roughly equivalent between the two articles, and the vast majority of private sales were financed (86%, as per the Reuters article). Not sure if you were making the point about all sales or private sales?
