LCV values up nearly 14% at BCA
LCV values at BCA were up nearly 14% to £7,892 in August compared to the same month last year.
It sold more than 8,500 LCVs in the month, with average sales prices up £955 in 12 months, or 13.8%.
Year-to-date, used LCV values at BCA have averaged £7,974, equivalent to 103.8% of price guide expectations.
Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK, said: “August results were supported by some incredible buyer engagement, with confident bidding and rising values across the board. Stock churn improved, keeping sale entries very clean and with new sales still under pressure, professional buyers remain laser‑focused on acquisition to fill forecourt gaps.
“Condition is still king and whilst retail customers demand quality, many buyers are further stretching their parameters to include higher‑mileage or older vehicles if they’re clean enough for the forecourt.
“With our online commercial sales running seven days a week and offering the largest volume and widest choice anywhere, we’re meeting more buyer needs — and driving stronger results for our sellers.”
Pearson concluded:
“With demand holding firm and competition intensifying, August’s performance suggests that the used LCV market could strengthen further as we head into autumn.”
