Andorra recorded 4,202,545 vehicle entries in 2025, down 2.8% from 4,321,664 the year before, according to the Estadística department.

Declines occurred at both borders: 6.1% fewer vehicles at the Spanish-Andorran crossing and 6.2% at the French one. Spanish entries accounted for nearly three-quarters of the total, at 2,918,970—a modest 0.3% drop. French entries fell more sharply by 7.8%, or 109,162 fewer, totaling 1,283,575.

Passenger cars drove the overall reduction, totaling just over 4 million, a 3.3% decrease from 2024. French passenger cars dropped 9%, or 124,909 fewer. The Spanish decline equated to about 10% of that border's volume.

Tourist buses and heavy goods vehicles provided an offset, rising 12.8% to 165,220 from 146,502. French heavy vehicle entries more than doubled to 27,137, up 138.3%, while Spanish ones increased 2.2%, or 2,971 more.

December followed the annual pattern, with 362,854 entries—a 6.1% fall from 386,435 in 2024. Passenger cars declined 8% that month (8.1% from Spain, 7.8% from France), while heavy vehicles jumped 75.4% (60.4% via Spain, 367.5% via France).

Estadística attributes the heavy vehicle increases to a methodology change implemented in May 2025. One report posits that fewer private cars and more buses could indicate a rise in budget tourism.
