End-of-year used LCV market stability reported by BCA

A used LCV market which saw price volatility for much of 2024 stabilised as the year ended, according to BCA.

The auction company said the average used LCV value in December was £7,187, a fall of £92 compared with November.

Despite the volatility, attributed by BCA to changes in mix and condition of used stock following extended contracts, last year was a record year for LCV sales for the company, with well over 100,000 vehicles sold.

BCA UK COO Stuart Pearson said: “2024 will likely be remembered as a difficult year for used LCVs, with pricing volatility from Easter onwards only settling down towards the last few months of the year. 

“It underlines the efficiency and effectiveness of our online remarketing programmes, that this was also the year that BCA sold well over 100,000 LCVs for the first time.

“The LCV wholesale market has got off to a strong start in 2025, although demand remains sensitive to price and condition.”
