Demand remains strong for well maintained vehicles aged between three and five years old, while electric vehicles are also selling strongly with more than 5,000 units sold in a single month for the first time.
BCA COO Stuart Pearson said: “Despite the start of the summer holidays often signalling a downturn in used car demand, July built on the strong marketplace we saw during the previous month.
“BCA saw sold used car volumes and guide price performance rise in July, which is almost unheard of during the summer holiday period and a reflection of the changing face of the used car sector.”
He concluded:
“Buyer engagement and stock churn has remained at exceptional levels at BCA during 2025 and has been remarkably consistent over the summer months. To record over 10,000 unique buyers in the month of July, would also suggest that the used car market remains in exceptionally good health.”
