Our take
AutoScout24 is an online classifieds platform for new and used vehicles that’s been expanding its reach across European markets for over two decades now. It has benefitted from an upswing in interest in used cars, taking advantage of this opportunity to grow and solidify its presence.
In 2024, the company further expanded its reach by acquiring Canada's Trader Corporation, showing it has an appetite for continued expansion. It also focused in on its C2B auction platform, AutoScout24 Direct, that enables individuals to sell their vehicles through an online auction to verified dealers.
