Six familiar car brands are losing ground while Britain’s new-car market is booming—and I explain why that matters before you buy your next car.
I count down Dacia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Seat, Ford and Volkswagen, looking at their falling UK sales, shrinking market share, model changes and the pressure coming from Chinese brands and electric-car rules. I also examine the future of Seat, Ford’s increasingly narrow range and Volkswagen’s major restructuring plan.
I finish with practical ways to protect your money: checking the model cycle, negotiating harder with struggling brands, comparing quotes and asking for stronger warranty or service cover. The figures and company statements used in this video run up to the end of August 2026.
