A further 13% of 3s advertised right now are delivery-mileage or have no mileage recorded (11 of 87). Those sit outside the median above, which covers used cars only.
Roughly £907/month on the midpoint price — 60 months, £4,699 deposit, representative 10.9% APR — indicative, not a quote. We don't arrange finance; this is here so the price means something in the terms most people buy in.
the number advertised is down 9%. 61% of cars currently advertised have already had at least one price cut.

Shares are of 3s where we can read that detail from the listing, so they will not add to 100%.
Cars sharing this one's part of the market — same sort of age, fuel, size and mileage — regardless of badge.
How this is measured. Torq tracks live listings from UK dealers. Figures are seven-day trailing medians over days that passed our data-quality checks, not single-day snapshots — daily counts move with our collection cycle, which would otherwise look like market movement.
The headline covers cars with recorded mileage above 1,000. Delivery-mileage and mileage-unknown stock is counted separately and shown above, because the underlying listings carry no new/used flag.
Supply comparisons use a fixed panel of dealers tracked throughout the period, so growth in our own coverage is never mistaken for growth in the market.
