Currently reading: Ford Fiesta tops October sales charts as market continues to recover
New car sales grow for the third month in a row, but the market is set for its worst year since 1982

The Ford Fiesta was the UK’s best-selling car in October and the Nissan Qashqai displaced the Vauxhall Corsa for year-to-date sales. 

Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) reveal that the Fiesta sold 4230 units in October, ahead of the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and the Qashqai. 

The result comes just one week after Ford announced the popular supermini will finish production in June next year.
