Experts of the Car Market Research Institute analyzed the statistics of registration operations in June 2024 and determined the state of affairs in the used car market in Ukraine.
During June, a total of 117,800 first registrations and sales agreements concluded within the country for used passenger cars were recorded. This is 15% more than in the same period of last year 2023, but 35.4% less than in May 2024.
Statistically, sales agreements on the domestic market predominate: 84.1% of passenger cars with mileage were purchased (partially simply reissued to other close persons) within the country. In quantitative terms, this is 99 thousand. The share of imported cars with mileage from abroad amounted to 15.9%, which in quantitative terms is 18.7 thousand.
Internal resales
In the domestic market during June, service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs registered 99,000 agreements for the sale of used cars. This is 17.6% more than in June 2023, and 38.9% less than in May 2024. After the recent statistical records caused by the "rewriting" of motor vehicles in connection with the acquisition of new rules for the mobilization (removal for the needs of the Armed Forces) of cars from private owners, it can be seen how the volume of re-registrations is returning to similar to previous indicators.
However, these numbers are not yet "pure statistics", as parallel indicators show that still not all transactions are trading — "overwriting" is ongoing. For example, the number of officially donated passenger cars in June amounted to 3.6 thousand, which is more than for the entire year of 2023, when a total of 3.2 thousand such transactions were recorded. changed legal ownership without actually selling, will approach zero.
The largest number of registration transactions on the domestic market were recorded in the Kyiv region (26.4 thousand) and the city of Kyiv (11.7 thousand).
Dnipropetrovsk region is in third place (8.4 thousand), Lviv region is fourth with a total of 7.6 thousand, Odesa region is fifth with the result of 6.9 thousand sales transactions registered by service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The smallest number of agreements was concluded in regions whose territories are partially temporarily occupied or where active hostilities are taking place: in Kherson (486 agreements) and Donetsk (722 agreements) regions. Chernihiv (2,171 deals), Mykolaiv (2,177 deals) and Kirovohrad (2,339 deals) regions are also among the regions with the lowest number of resales of used cars. As for the activity of the territorial service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Luhansk region, this time there are zeros in the reports again.
Import of used cars
In June 2024 , 18,700 used cars imported from abroad were registered for the first time, 1,300 cars less than in May. Unlike the previous section, there were no significant jumps or dips in the "enslavement" segment — no more than natural volume fluctuations within the usual limits. In particular, this indicator is 3.4% higher than in June 2023, and 6.5% lower than a month earlier. Which serves as another confirmation that the volumes of cars actually bought did not increase, but remained at the average monthly values recorded at the beginning of the year.
Like last month, the most actively registered used cars imported from abroad were in Lviv region (2.4 thousand first registrations), Kyiv city (2.2 thousand) and Kyiv region (1.6 thousand).
Rivne (1.2 thousand) and Dnipropetrovsk (1.1 thousand) regions were also among the five most active regions.
Kherson (36), Donetsk (51), Mykolaiv (245), Zaporizhia (259), and Kirovohrad (276) regions registered the fewest "freshly driven" cars.
It is worth noting that the number of imported cars refers to the number of first registrations carried out by service centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Usually, there is a certain amount of time between the delivery of the car, customs clearance, completion of other formalities and the first state registration — from several days to several months.
