Used LCV values rose during November at BCA as demand grew steadily for vehicles to service the online and home delivery sector in the run-up to Christmas.
Average values moved from £9,141 at the start of November to a high point of £10,488 later in the month.
Average monthly values continue to be well ahead year-on-year, with November 2021 values up by £1,394, (equivalent to a 16.4% increase) compared to the same month last year. Values averaged 102.5% of guide price across the board during November.
Stuart Pearson, COO at BCA UK, said: “The used LCV market remains exceptionally competitive and average selling values at BCA have consistently outperformed guide price expectations throughout 2021.
“The strong market that we’ve experienced reflects the ongoing economic shift supported by consume-driven online activity plus the well-documented challenges with new LCV supplies. In addition, and as we anticipated, we have seen demand increase in the final weeks of the year to meet the needs of the hub delivery, courier and final mile home delivery sectors.”
BCA’s commercial vehicle auctions offer up to 700 vehicles each day and attract up to 2,000 different buyers each week.
New light commercial vehicle sales in 2021 are now 22.8% up year-on-year at 325,976 units.
