Vehicle Registration Statistics in Mauritius: 2025 Q1-Q3

The first eight months of 2025 have revealed clear shifts in vehicle registrations across Mauritius. According to the latest National Transport Authority data, June marked a major spike in new vehicle registrations, coinciding with the national budget speech that month. The announcement led to a rush of pre-orders and deliveries as both buyers and dealerships moved to finalise transactions ahead of expected changes in duties and fees.

June stands out sharply, with 4,401 new vehicles registered — almost double May’s figures. The spike largely came from passenger cars, showing how strongly the market responded in the lead-up to and immediate aftermath of the budget.

Suzuki continues to dominate the Mauritian market with nearly 4,000 new units registered this year, more than double the nearest competitor. The June bump also saw strong movement across brands like Mazda, Kia, and MG, reflecting active dealership promotions and stock clearances ahead of regulatory changes.
