Used LCV<\/a> values rose to an average price of \u00a38,569 at BCA<\/a> last month, the highest point recorded since March 2024.<\/p>\n

This represents an increase of 6.7% on December and 10.9% on the same month last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, buyer numbers accelerated sharply with more than 2,600 unique buyers completing purchases.<\/p>\n

Stuart Pearson, BCA<\/a> COO UK, said: \u201cThe used LCV market made a very encouraging start in 2026, achieving the highest average monthly value in almost two years and reflecting some exceptional levels of demand across our seven-day-a-week online sales programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cSales volumes improved significantly into January as professional buyers competed strongly, and the momentum has continued into February.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New van sales<\/h2>\n

He continued: \u201cWith new van sales remaining depressed according to the latest SMMT data, it is no surprise that used LCVs are being well-fought over as professional buyers look to satisfy consumer demand at a different value point.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand remained strong across the entire range of stock on offer in January, with younger, higher spec vehicles that were ready to retail attracting particular attention and typically achieving values well above market expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll forms of pick-ups have been sought after and, whilst some niche product requires additional attention to give it the best chance of selling first time, anything in an interesting metallic colour continues to stand out and attract a premium.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
