UK car production dropped 10.2% year-on-year in August 2025 to 37,072 units, ending a two-month growth streak during what is typically the quietest month of the year due to scheduled summer shutdowns for maintenance and retooling. Weak demand in the EU, the sector’s largest market, alongside high cost pressures, model changeovers and sluggish economic growth, further dragged output. The data precedes the recent cyberattack on the UK’s biggest automotive employer, whose impact will likely show in September figures. Production for the domestic market rose 11.5% to 7,162 units but was outweighed by a 14.2% decline in exports. Overseas shipments totaled 29,910 units, equal to 80.7% of output. Despite the overall fall, electrified vehicle production surged 40.9% to 16,830 units, with hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electric cars making up 45.4% of August’s output – the second-highest monthly share on record.
