LONDON - The number of new cars sold in Britain last year fell to its lowest since 2013, as consumers held back from purchases amid increased restrictions on diesel vehicles and ongoing economic uncertainty in the run-up to Brexit.
New car registrations dropped by 2% in 2019 to 2.31 million, according to provisional data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders , the third annual fall since sales peaked at 2.69 million in 2016. Sales in December alone were up 4% from a year earlier, when stocks of some models were limited pending new emissions tests.
