Vehicle entries into Andorra dropped 13.8% in November 2025 from the previous year, reaching 308,283 compared to 357,575 in November 2024.

The Estadística department attributes the decline primarily to reduced traffic from France. Entries at the Franco-Andorran border fell 28.5% year-on-year, compared to a 7.4% decrease at the Hispano-Andorran border. Passenger cars declined 14.8% overall, with Spanish-registered vehicles down 8% and French-registered ones dropping 29.6%. Heavy vehicles increased 10.6%, including a 4.2% rise from Spain and a 98.7% surge from France—driven mainly by a methodology change for counting them introduced in May 2025.

From January to November 2025, total entries totaled 3,839,691 vehicles, a 2.4% reduction from the same period in 2024. Spanish traffic edged up 0.3%, offsetting an 8% fall in French entries.

Over the trailing 12 months, entries reached 4,226,126 vehicles, down 1.7% from 4,300,107 the prior year. Hispano-Andorran crossings rose by 39,865 vehicles, balancing a 113,846-vehicle drop at the Franco-Andorran border.

Seasonally adjusted figures indicate stability in November, with overall entries up 0.1% from October. The Spanish border saw a 0.2% increase, while the French border declined 1.8%.
