September saw one-in-five or 77,316 new scrappage cars registered using the scheme, taking the tally since its start in May to 178,278, according to figures from the SMMT.

In the commercial vehicle sector, a total of 2,839 vans have been registered since the scheme began and 1,023 in September, accounting for 3.6 per cent of overall van registrations in September.

"The scrappage scheme is providing the foundation for recovery in new car registrations but there is still a long way to go.

"The recently announced extension will allow for a further 100,000 vehicles and the new criteria will open the scheme up to more consumers, allowing time for the market to stabilise as the economy gradually improves," said Paul Everitt, SMMT chief executive.

Below is a complete breakdown of carmakers and the numbers of cars registered since the scheme was launched in mid-May.
