Used LCVs reach their highest values in March

In March values averaged £8,727, a rise of 4% month-on-month and 5.6% ahead of March 2025. Sold volumes also increased to 10,400 units.

BCA has said that increased sales are being driven by buyer engagement and retailers finding sourcing stock demanding.

Lower mileage vehicles in good condition are exceeding price expectations by considerable margins and there is plenty of interest for older, higher mileage stock providing they are in fair condition.

Stuart Pearson, COO of BCA UK said: “The market has enjoyed a robust start to 2026, with the first three months returning some exceptionally strong numbers, reflecting the significant levels of demand and the increasing levels of supply across our seven-day-a-week online digital programme.

“Whilst there may be some noises about values softening further into the year, it’s important that customers continue to trade in the ‘here and now’, use live guide-pricing information to stay well informed and use all of the tools available to drive optimal value and generate first time sales.”
