In Italy, the used car market is also in trouble in this difficult 2022. Compared to 2021, the decline, according to data from UNRAE (National Union of Foreign Motor Vehicle Representatives), is -12.6%, with 380,000 fewer cars transferred in the first seven months of the current year.
In the first 7 months of 2022 the preference for diesel used cars is always positioned at around 49% (-1.8% on 2021), followed by petrol, just under 40% (-0.3%). LPG, with a 4.4% share, is in third place and, with a 3.4% share, hybrids are in fourth place. Methane stops at 2.2%, while net transfers of pure electric cars (BEVs) rise to 0.4% and plug-ins to 0.6%. For now, diesels can count on second life, as they are in free fall in the new car market.
The very strong acceleration of the share of exchanges between private individuals, which reach 56.7% of ownership changes (gaining over 10 percentage points) due to the lower availability of cars in the sales networks. Those from operator to end customer drop to 38.8%. Transfers from rental are essentially stable (0.7% overall), while those from zero km lose half a point (3.9%).
Exchanges of cars with more than 10 years of seniority are positioned around 51% of transfers, in spite of the replacement of the emissions park. The share of cars from 6 to 10 years is stable at 15%, while a further recovery concerns that of cars from 4 to 6 years (12.1%). The share of cooler cars decreased, especially those from 1 to 2 years (to 3.5%), due to the reduction of zero km.
On the mini-farming front, the share of individuals or other companies exchanging their car remains very high, with 61.6% (+ 8.3%), while the share of car withdrawals by operators fell to 27.5%. Cars withdrawn from rental are also down. In this case the diesel cars lose some ground, falling to 53.8% (-3.5%), while the petrol engine recovers a few decimal places, at 33.1% and about half a point the LPG (5, 1%). Methane was stable (2.7%), while mini-cultivations of electrified cars grew, with a share of 3.9% for hybrids, 0.9% for BEVs and 0.6% for plug-ins.
