By GlobalDataJames Davis, general manager, commercial
vehicles, said: “A note of caution must be applied when looking at
this month’s headline rise.
“As conversion rates have hardened due to both
seasonality and an increase in supply, the contribution made by the
smaller, and arguably much more desirable, volume segments has
driven this overall increase in average price.
“With so much duplicate stock in the market and
a fall in enquiries and retail sales, trade buyers will prefer not
to tie up their cash in vans that need reconditioning for
retail.
“Consequently these buyers are being selective
and are picking the cleanest stock to fulfil orders or fill gaps on
their forecourts.”
