Dealerships to halve in UK?

A new study by KPMG has found half of UK car dealerships could shut up shop by 2025.

The research, which was based on responses from motoring executives, found sales were likely to move online, The Sun reports.

Dealers might have to restructure by becoming service factories or used car hubs, according to KPMG.

However, dealerships may still be required in the future if customers want to test drive the vehicle.

The report also showed 63% of motoring executives think the number of cars manufactured in western Europe on a global scale will dip to 5%.
