A three month fall in average age to 54 months compared to May coupled with a decrease in average mileage of almost 2500 to 73,578 miles contributed to the rise.
Year-on-year, values were 3.4% down, average age up three months and mileage up by 2087 miles.
Car-derived vans increased 2.4% to £2623 compared to May, small vans were up 4.4% to £4057, medium vans rose 3.4% to £3851 and large vans leapt 9% in value to £4276.
Manheim’s CV boss James Davis said: “In June the overall reduction in average age and mileage has logically resulted in an increase in average sale value. This follows the previous month where the market experienced the largest ever single monthly swing of average age, up by four months.”
Davis said annual mileage in the small panel van sector had been increasing for more than a year but falling in the larger van sectors despite average age remaining fairly constant. He claimed this reflected the wider usage of small vans particularly in comparison with the 3.5-tonne “workhorse” category.
Meanwhile, Manheim said it expects to see demand for three-to-five year old vans rise sharply in the London area as sole traders and small businesses dispose of their older vans before the inclusion of pre-Euro3 engines in the London Low Emission Zone (LEZ) from January 2012.
Manheim urged buyers to stock up as it anticipated traders would replace their vehicles rather than pay the £100 charge to enter the zone or fork out £2000 to fit an approved particulate filter
