Duncan Ward, BCA’s UK business development manager for the CV
sector said: “As the economic turmoil has intensified in 2008,
small business confidence has ebbed away and this is reflected in
van-buying activity.  It remains to be seen if the recently
announced 1.5 percent base rate cut will stimulate activity in
the short term.”

Fleet & lease vans – which represent the biggest volume
sector at auction – have seen prices moving downwards all year and
are now £808, or 19.4 percent behind the January highpoint.

The average value is £3,353, with a downward move of six points
in CAP performance, which now sits at under 78 percent.
