Light commercial vehicle prices climbing in 2025
Average light commercial vehicle prices have risen by more than £800 since December, according to the latest BCA data.
Values have risen in the first two months of 2025, reaching an average sales price of £7,998 in February.
This is up £274 on January’s figure of £7,724, or 3.5%, meaning February returned the highest average monthly value for LCVs since May 2024.
Volumes were also up across the month, increasing to more than 10,000 units.
Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK, said: “Currently there is a level of confidence in the LCV market that has produced some exceptional results, fuelled by a very attractive mix of stock and some very strong buyer engagement. Increased volume can often dilute pricing, however in a month where more than 10,000 LCVs were sold at BCA, real values increased and guide price performance lifted.”
He concluded “Whilst only a few weeks into the new year, there’s a very healthy balance between supply and demand, which is welcome news for both sellers and buyers alike.
“March trading has continued with a similar pattern and whilst we could see some pressure as we move over the Easter period, following the sharp drop in values during 2024, the expectation is for a calmer and more predictable marketplace than experienced last year.”
