Cazoo has been relaunched as a used car search marketplace, becoming the flagship brand in the MOTORS network. MOTORS acquired the Cazoo brand in June 2024 and the launch of the all-new website forms part of an extensive investment strategy which will see it challenge the market leader. The MOTORS website, with over 230,000 dealer listings, will remain an integral part of the expanded network, alongside eBay, Gumtree and Parkers.

The used car sector remained stable in March with only slight fluctuations in price and stock levels, although dealers saw a welcome improvement in days to sell. MOTORS’ Market View analysis of the month shows how solid retail demand resulted in cars averaging just 30 days in stock, three days faster than February and five days faster than January. The fastest sales were achieved by car supermarkets at just 21 days, followed by franchised sites (24 days) and independents (49 days).

Car supermarkets increased their inventories in July as buyers renewed their focus on affordability, according to MOTORS’ July Market View. Dealer inventories averaged 53 units in July, up from 51 in June and just behind 54 units 12 months ago. The rise in volumes was mostly driven by car supermarkets where average stocks per site jumped month-on-month (MoM) from 252 to 274 units, an increase of 9%.
