By GlobalDataOverall volumes rose 3% month-on-month, with the biggest rise coming from two to four year old LCV, up 10.3% to 2,684 units.
This was followed by 4.1 to six year olds, which rose 9% to 2,353. Vehicles under two years and over six years both fell, by 5.6% and 3% respectively.
Paul Hill, NAMA chairman commented "With sales volumes rising, June continued the robust levels of demand witnessed across the wholesale marketplace over the past 18-months. However, following what are likely to be some slower months over the summer, it is hoped that September will bring equilibrium to the balance between supply and demand.
"Despite closing on a low note, the first half of 2014 has marked the successful conclusion of 6 months when demand had held firm for most used LCVs, driving prices to levels that were well above expectation."
