How is this report compiled?

Autotrender records every bike listing on Autotrader UK twice a day. A bike counts as sold when its advert is removed; its sold price is the final asking price before removal and days to sell run from the advert's listing date. All figures are medians, and a model's price or speed move is only reported when it had at least 30 sales in both months. The report is recomputed after every scan, so this month's figures will change until it ends.

Recomputed after every Autotrader scan; this month's figures will move until it ends. Plain-text version for citation: /market-report/2026-10/report.md · All monthly reports · Licence CC BY-NC 4.0, cite Autotrender.
