Used BYD sales hit a ‘record high’ in April as Chinese brand continues rapid UK growth
MarketCheck data showed that there were 830 used BYD sales in April, surpassing the previous record of 640 set in March 2026.
It said the growth has been particularly striking over the last 18 months. In October 2024, just 33 used BYDs were sold across the UK.
By April 2026, monthly sales had risen to 830.
The Auto Trader website shows a total of 2,216 BYD models on sale of which 842 are described as brand new, 334 were registered in 2026, 974 in 2025 and 40 in 2024.
Alastair Campbell, MarketCheck UK, said: “BYD has gone from being a relatively unknown name in the used car market to one of the fastest-growing brands in the country.
“The sales figures we’ve seen over the last year are impressive. Record volumes in April continue a trend of growth as more BYD vehicles enter the second-hand market and buyers become increasingly familiar with the brand.
“While the overall numbers remain smaller than more established manufacturers, the rate of growth is strong.”
