Shares are of 500s 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.
