Used car values remained stable from November to December, according to the latest data<\/a> released by BCA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It reported average used car prices of \u00a37,215 in December compared to November\u2019s figure of \u00a37,240.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, EV sales continued to be the strongest performing fuel type last month, as they were throughout 2025, resulting in a record week of sales during the month.<\/p>\n

Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK, said: \u201cThe first sales in December suggested that Christmas may have arrived early, however activity improved as the month rolled on with a number of retailers getting more focussed on readying their stock levels for January\u2019s uplift.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile much of the remarketing industry suspended operations across the festive period, it\u2019s been busy across BCA\u2019s network, ensuring that our buyer and seller customers are in the best place possible for the New Year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Optimism<\/h2>\n

Pearson added: \u201cWhilst it\u2019s still early in the month, it\u2019s fair to say that there\u2019s a level of optimism from our customers, with anecdotal feedback suggesting that retail activity has been ahead of last year across the Christmas period.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBuyer engagement with BCA\u2019s programme looks healthy through all channels and, outside of some pressure on nearly new stock, the market remains far from saturated which should keep values stable and interest levels high.<\/p>\n

“While there are never any guarantees as to which way the market will move, the early signs in 2026 are promising.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
