KSH - hasznaltauto.hu experimental statistics overview
The 2025 agreement between Használtautó.hu and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office has created an opportunity for statistical mapping of the used car market. Használtautó.hu has the largest database of used and new vehicles in Hungary, which allows statistical processing of this market segment and monitoring of prices and other characteristics of used cars.
The published results are experimental statistics, i.e. results that apply novel approaches. In the case of the experimental statistics of Használtautó.hu - HCSO, the data analysed do not fully cover the domestic used car market. However, due to the prevalence of the website, the data are suitable to provide a sufficiently reliable picture of the Hungarian used car market and therefore deserve a place in the HCSO experimental statistics.
Statistical monitoring of used cars can be complicated by a number of factors. This market is characterised by dynamic changes in transactions which do not fit in with traditional statistical data collection methods. In addition, seasonal effects, macroeconomic trends and changes in buyer preferences make it difficult to map the used car market accurately. Therefore, it is a complex task to obtain reliable data on the evolution of the stock of used cars, the structure of transactions and actual price trends.
In this context, the agreement between the Hungarian Central Statistical Office and Használtautó.hu is an important step forward. The cooperation will allow the preparation of analyses that can provide relevant data for a general mapping of the used car market. On this basis, the HCSO plans to publish monthly reports based on the Használtautó.hu database.
The published data are based on the supply side and may therefore differ from actual transactions, especially in terms of pricing and demand.
