MyVehicle.ie data shows what was in demand in the month of August that is being sold by independent and franchise dealers. This is a good indicator of what Irish people are looking for in terms of second-hand cars and what exactly they are buying. This data may be useful for potential vehicle buyers, giving them an insight into what the most popular cars are.  

2012 cars are the most sold used vehicles by independent dealers in August. This may suggest that more and more people across the country are trading up their car after a 4-year period which may not have been the case a couple of years ago, opting for a trade-in after a longer period of time.
