It’s good going for Nissan’s fleet sales recently as the brand enjoyed its best ever September for company vehicle registrations.

A total of 11,860 Nissan passenger cars ended up in company fleets during September, a 35.6% uplift on the same month last year (8,743).

Sales of Nissan LCVs almost doubled too, growing from 979 units last September to 1,806 this time round (+84.4%).

This makes Nissan the 7th largest fleet car manufacturer in 2015 with the greatest market share increase of any volume manufacturer this year (+125%).

The Qashqai [pictured] made up half of Nissan’s UK fleet registrations in September (4,876 units), while the number of all-electric Leaf models more than doubled (105%) on last September.

Barry Beeston, Corporate Sales Director at Nissan Motor (GB), said: “These latest results are very encouraging and clearly demonstrate Nissan’s growing reputation as a fleet manufacturer.

“It’s also very pleasing to see that we are not only sustaining the volumes we achieved during 2014 – a year of unprecedented new product activity – but building on them.”

Debt recovery deal

Nissan’s fleet success show no signs of slowing down either, after sealing a new deal with Cheshire-based debt recovery firm Premium Collections for a fresh batch of Qashqais.

Paul Daine, Managing Director of Premium Collections, which operates 160 Nissans including the Juke, Pulsar and Note, said he was won over by Nissan’s strong residual values, attractive BIK ratings, and low insurance costs.

He commented: “The vehicles have proved to be very reliable, safe and comfortable, and feedback from our staff has been excellent.

“The cars convey the professionalism of our service and the range has really come on in the last few years, even the small models feel big and the specification is excellent, Sat Nav being essential for us and many of our Nissans having it as standard.”
