New fleet sales in November were up on the same month in 2008, the first time a 2009 calender month has achieved this feat. Registrations of 65,246 equated to a 9.6% rise on the same period last year.

However, the continued buoyancy of the private new car market, driven by the Government’s scrappage scheme, meant that fleets still only accounted for 41.4% of all new cars registered last month.

See the tables below for the top 10 model and manufacturer tables for November 2009.
