In half a year, 65,000 used cars were imported

In the first six months of this year, 65,275 used cars were imported into Serbia, of which 12,703 were Volkswagen, announced the Serbian Association of Importers of Vehicles and Parts.

The association reminds that 18,256 new passenger and light commercial vehicles were sold in Serbia in the first six months.

The analysis of data on used vehicles registered for the first time shows that vehicles with Euro 3 and Euro 4 engines are still being imported without hindrance, and our country is littered with vehicles that are unsafe, environmentally unacceptable, and in a large number of countries their import is not allowed, announced the Serbian Association of Importers of New vehicles and parts.

In the structure of the import of used vehicles in the first six months of this year, almost half of the total number were vehicles with Euro 3 and Euro 4 engines.

Thus, a total of 6,273 vehicles were imported whose engines meet only the Euro 3 standard, or 9.61 percent. 23,345 vehicles with Euro 4 engines were imported, or 35.76 percent.

Vehicles with Euro 5 engines make up 29.90 percent of the total import of used cars (19,514 used vehicles), and 16,143 used vehicles with Euro 6 engines, which makes up 24.73 percent.

When it comes to the import of used cars, only 3,826 were registered for the first time in this period and are younger than five years old.

Only 18,818 vehicles up to ten years old were imported, which means that as many as 46,457 used vehicles older than ten years were imported into Serbia from the beginning of the year to July 1.

When it comes to brands, most used Volkswagens are still imported. In second place is Audi with 5,792 vehicles. They are followed by Opel with 5,303, Peugeot 5,225, Renault 4,463, BMW 4,128, Citroen 3,562, Fiat 3,316, Mercedes 3,295 and Ford with 3,262 vehicles.
