AUTO1 Group announces data partnership with Moody's Analytics to enhance European Used Car Market insights
Berlin, October 29, 2025

• The Moody's Analytics forecast of the AUTO1 Group Price Index predicts that used car prices will increase more than 20% by 2035
• In October 2025, the AUTO1 Group Price Index data showed a continued downward price trend
Berlin, October 29, 2025 - AUTO1 Group, Europe's leading digital automotive platform for buying, selling and financing used cars, today announced their strategic partnership with Moody's Analytics to deliver enhanced insights into the European used car market.

Under the partnership, AUTO1 Group provides Moody's Analytics with access to its proprietary "AUTO1 Group Price Index - the European Used Car Price Report," showing the monthly evolution of used car prices across Europe based on wholesale transactions dating back to 2015. Based on this data, Moody's Analytics develops advanced price forecast reports, which are predictive analytical tools designed to forecast future pricing trends in the European used car market with a forward-looking horizon of 30 years.

Through this collaboration, AUTO1 Group will combine its market-leading transaction data with Moody's Analytics' expertise in economic modeling and risk analysis to deliver deeper, data-driven insights to clients of both companies as well as the broader market.

"We are excited to collaborate with Moody's Analytics, a global leader in economic research. This collaboration enables us to deliver even greater value to our partners, customers, and industry experts through pricing insights and forecasts," said Moritz Lück, SVP Sales and Operations of AUTO1 Group.. "By providing the data and tools needed to anticipate shifts in market demand, fleet owners can make more informed decisions about when to buy or sell used vehicles, while dealers and automotive businesses can optimize inventory levels and set competitive prices in a rapidly evolving market."

AUTO1 Group Price Index: Used car market continues its downward price trend in October
The AUTO1 Group Price Index showed a slight decline in October 2025, with the index decreasing from 140.1 in September to 139.0 in October, a month-over-month decrease of 0.8%. October marked the fourth consecutive monthly drop, with prices down by a total of 1.3% over the past three months.

Year to date, the index has increased by 2.8%, rising from 135.2 in January to 139.0 in October. Compared to October 2024, used car prices are up by 1.5% year-over-year.

Moody's Analytics Forecast: Used car prices to increase by more than 20% by 2035, nearly double by 2055

The Moody's Analytics baseline forecast expects the used car market to gradually normalize after recent years of higher volatility. In the short term, Moody's Analytics forecasts that the used-vehicle price growth is limited by economic uncertainty, weaker consumer sentiment, and increased competition from affordable new Chinese models. Over the longer term, factors such as limited used inventory and stable labor markets are projected to drive price appreciation.

According to the Moody's Analytics baseline forecast, used car prices are predicted to reach an index level of 170.1 by the end of 2035 (+22.4% compared to October 2025) and 265.6 by the end of 2055 (+91.1%).

The Moody's Analytics forecast systematically models the various factors influencing used-vehicle prices, incorporating key drivers such as the consumer price index, unemployment rate, light-vehicle sales, global oil prices, producer price index, and private consumption expenditure. Another strength of the model is its ability to forecast car prices under multiple economic scenarios.
