May 2025 L-Category (Scooters, Motorcycles & other light vehicles) New Vehicle Registrations

MCIA has today published the new vehicle market data for the month of May 2025. This includes Mopeds, Scooters, Motorcycles and some other specific sectors of the wider L-Category vehicle types.   

New registrations for the month of May have again shown some improvement albeit still negative at minus 12.3% which is 2 percentage points better than April and significantly ahead of the now “year-to-date” market of minus 20.4% compared to 2024.

Tony Campbell, CEO of MCIA, said: “The new Motorcycle and scooter market for May whilst improving is still disappointing, which confirms the difficult trading conditions and nervousness amongst consumers. As we see in the news a lot of uncertainly on the global stage whether it be trade and tariffs or the on-going conflicts all of which do not help consumer confidence or commitment to spend.    

As this now “not so new” Government continue to be undecided changing their policies from one week to the next, this approach to Governing the economy will do little to help.  
MCIA continue to push for market support and the all-important rider license review the sector has been calling for since the previous Government”
