Successfully handling challenges, both internal and external, has always been a core skill of any motor retail business. The industry may have successfully navigated a pandemic and all the disruption that came with it, but now there are a multitude of new, and just as significant, challenges that retailers must tackle.

In addition to revealing the aggregated performance of the top 150 groups in the UK, this year’s BDO Motor 150 Report looks at the range of factors that are causing a further shift in the landscape for motor retailers. We also consider:

• What's the current view from the first major market to adopt the agency model, Australia?
• The manufacturers' perspective
• Whether the recent Budget announcements will put the brakes on business
   

Importantly, the report also highlights the top priorities for dealers in the coming year.
