Motorly Market Index

Method and limitations

• Price and fuel statistics use a bounded sample of active adverts with asking prices above €500. The median is the middle asking price after sorting, or the average of the two middle prices for an even sample.
• Third-party adverts must have been observed in the last 14 days. Active first-party Motorly adverts may have older or missing observation dates.
• One car may be advertised more than once. Advert counts are not counts of unique vehicles, and the sample is not a random or complete survey of Ireland.
• Inventory totals are estimates. New-listing counts scale the share of recently first-observed adverts to that estimated inventory; first observed does not necessarily mean first advertised.
• New-listing activity compares estimated new adverts with a reference of one twenty-sixth of estimated inventory, using a 15% band either side. It is a heuristic, not an observed increase or decrease over time.
• Removed adverts are no longer observed as active in the dataset. Removal does not confirm a sale, its price or the reason the advert disappeared.
• Fuel shares describe advertised stock in the sample. They do not measure registrations or national EV adoption.
• When citing this page, retain the snapshot date (13 October 2026), sample size (12,000 active adverts), asking-price basis and estimation limits.
