Used light commercial vehicle values remain robust
Used light commercial vehicle values averaged £8,029 at BCA during December, which was more than 11% up on the same month in 2024.
It reported almost 2,200 unique buyers purchasing during the month, with average values outperforming guide price expectations by 2.7%.
Across the whole year, average used light commercial vehicle values at BCA were £8,060, with more than 9,300 unique buyers.
Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK, said: “The LCV market remained very positive into December, reflecting the demand we have seen across the wholesale sector throughout 2025, and representing a significant improvement on the previous year.
“With intense competition for the best presented stock and the supply of vans under five years old still recovering from the pandemic downturn, our seven-day-a-week online LCV programme attracted record numbers of buyers over the past year. Year-on-year sales performance saw a significant uplift across every KPI as sales conversions, sold volumes, average values and speed of sale all improved in 2025.”
Pearson continued: “The early days of 2026 have seen momentum lift across the LCV remarketing sector and the demand accelerate.
“With the SMMT reporting that the new light commercial vehicle market declined by 10.3% in 2025, demand for used vans, pickups and commercial 4x4s is likely to remain strong in the weeks and months ahead.”
