The June 2025 edition of the Automotive Insights Report (AIR), produced by the AADA in collaboration with AutoGrab, shows a strong end of financial year lift in used vehicle sales activity even as retained values begin to soften across most segments.
Key insights from June include:
- EOFY drives strong sales growth: National used car sales surged to 212,136, up 10.1 per cent month-on-month. Significant increases were recorded in NSW (12.5 per cent), QLD (11.7 per cent), and VIC (9.1 per cent).
- Dealer activity remains strong: Dealers accounted for 49 per cent of sales and 53.6 per cent of listings. The dealer share of inventory continues to lead, reflecting strategic stock positioning and ongoing consumer confidence in dealer-backed purchases.
- Hybrid and EV momentum continues: Hybrid sales climbed 21.7 per cent month-on-month, PHEVs increased 29.3 per cent, and EVs rose 7.6 per cent, despite a 6 per cent drop in EV listings. The shift reflects increasing consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
- Days to sell remains stable: Average days to sell across all used vehicles held steady at 47.0 days, consistent with May, suggesting sustained consumer engagement, as stock levels increased slightly by 1.2 per cent to 330,278 listings nationally.
End of financial year activity once again contributed to strong sales performance in June, with motivated buyers and competitive selling driving results. As seen in previous years, this EOFY momentum also placed downward pressure on retained values, with sellers looking to finalise transactions before the close of financial reporting.
