The demand for light commercial vehicles was “unseasonably
strong” in August, according to British Car Auctions (BCA)
statistics.

The auction house said that while August sales
traditionally record lower values, this year values rose by an
average of £179 (€196) – or 5 percent – to reach £3,745.

In detail, average fleet & lease van values improved by £203
against July, part-exchange stock rose by £160 and nearly-new van
values recovered by over £1,000.

BCA’s general manager for commercial sales Duncan Ward said:
“August proved to be a remarkably strong month for LCV sales and
certainly outperformed the customary summer holiday season
market.”

He added: “Supplies of good retail quality vans were relatively
limited and buyers were  bidding strongly for the best
examples – particularly from the fleet sector where competition was
intense.”
