Moldova: 1970-2023 Historical info available
Historical info spanning the past five decades is now available for Moldova on BSCB! For the 1970–1991 period, the data is for USSR which Moldova belonged to then, and Lada models reigned supreme. I have no available data for Moldova between 1992 and 2010, so please get in touch if you do by commenting on this article. The Dacia Logan was the best-seller in Moldova for at least a decade up until 2020 when the Toyota RAV4 took the relay before the Dacia Duster jumped to #1 in 2022.
