Trailing in second was the Vauxhall Corsa which has 2,901 units to its name, and following not far behind was Ford’s Focus which the blue oval sold 2,858 units of.
In fourth place was the Volkswagen Golf with 1,995 cars sold, followed by the BMW 3 Series – 1,739, the Vauxhall Astra – 1,613, and the Volkswagen duo of Passat and Polo selling 1,526 and 1,467 cars respectively.
The Nissan Qashqai finished in ninth place with 1,312 and the top 10 list was rounded off with a surprising entry – the Audi A3 which sold 1,125 units in August.
With 61,551 units to its name, the Fiesta still holds the number one spot too in the year-to-date table.
