The official numbers will come in over the next few days, but here are the headlines to look out for from 2022’s registrations.

The UK’s best-selling vehicle is likely to be a van for the second year in succession, namely the Ford Transit Custom. Those battling for the top spot among cars included the Nissan Qashqai, Vauxhall Corsa and Ford Puma.

Ford registered the most vehicles, its supremacy in the commercial-vehicle market with the Transit range combining with its strength in the car market (led by the Puma and Kuga SUVs, both top-10 staples) to put it comfortably ahead of Volkswagen.
