Used vehicle sales across Australia rebounded in May 2025, with a 5.4% increase to 192,692 units sold, according to the latest Automotive Insights Report (AIR), produced by the Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) in partnership with AutoGrab.The report also noted a 5.2% increase in listings, reflecting a steady balance between supply and demand in the used car market.AADA chief executive James Voortman says the uplift in listings could be linked to end-of-financial-year incentives in the new car market.“The observed increase in listings may be partly attributed to end-of-year discounts being offered in the new car market, prompting more people to upgrade their vehicles and boosting the supply of used cars,” Voortman says.SUVs led the sales momentum, with the segment posting a 7.9% monthly increase to 83,442 units sold in May.Voortman also pointed to improved vehicle turnover: “Average days to sell dropped to 47.6 days, the lowest this year, suggesting improved stock turnover.”Used car sales rose across all states except the Northern Territory, which recorded a 12.4% decline to 648 units.Used electric vehicle (EV) sales recorded a sharp uptick of 37.5% in May – a notable rise from 8.4% in April – indicating stronger consumer demand for cleaner transport options.In value retention, small passenger cars continued to outperform, with the Audi RS3 taking the top spot in the 2–4 year-old category at 105.8%, replacing the Ford Mustang.
