The Supply of New Cars Order 2000 was revoked Nov. 4, 2026, ending a competition measure that limited supplier pricing and dealer incentives while protecting dealers' ability to advertise prices.

The order barred suppliers from unjustifiably giving different discounts to fleet buyers and dealers buying new cars outright in comparable volumes over comparable periods. It also prohibited bonuses or discounts to dealers on pre-registered cars and prevented restrictions on dealers' price advertising.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) issued its final review decision on the revocation date. The CMA's update records the order as revoked and removed from its remedies register. The order relied on the monopoly provisions in the Fair Trading Act 1973; the CMA lists Aug. 1, 2000, as the date it was first published.
