Motorpoint Group PLC, the Derby-based independent omnichannel vehicle retailer, has “significantly outperformed the wider used car market” in the first half of its financial year.
According to unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025, revenue increased 15% on the same period of the year prior to £647.7m, outperforming the wider used car market and benefitting from an increase in average vehicle selling price.
Based on SMMT data, overall used car sales were up 2.8% in July to September on the previous year; Motorpoint’s were up 7.4%.
Profit before tax, meanwhile, increased 80% to £3.6m, and EBITDA by 22.5% to £13.6m.
Motorpoint noted that further technology investment to develop its website and digital brand awareness, along with benefitting from the advantages of adopting AI, has resulted in significantly increased customer activity, and “excellent” sales in the first half.
Mark Carpenter, CEO of Motorpoint Group PLC, said: “I am pleased to report another strong performance in the first half of the year, in which we increased our retail volumes by 8.9% and gross profit by 10.7%.
“We significantly outperformed the wider used car market during the period, demonstrating that our proposition to make car buying easy continues to resonate strongly with customers.
“Our strategic investment in technology and the use of data and AI, combined with the exceptional service provided by our highly engaged team, has enabled us to sell more vehicles at market leading pricing and provide our customers with a seamless car buying experience.
“With technology, data and AI integral to our growth strategy going forward, we are also excited by several other strategic initiatives including new store openings, investment in existing stores and the expansion of our supply channels.
“While we are mindful of the imminent Autumn Budget, and the subsequent effect on the consumer environment, trading since the period end confirms that demand for Motorpoint cars remains strong.
“We therefore remain confident in our competitive offering and believe we are well positioned to continue to grow our position in the market while delivering sustainable shareholder value.”
