At BCA in June, average used LCV values remained broadly in line with the previous two months, rising by £40, or 0.5%, from May to reach £8,117.
This followed a strong start to the year, when values reached their highest level for 24 months.
Buyer engagement also remained consistent, with June recording a small increase in unique buyer numbers compared with May.
Despite the market entering what is typically one of the quieter periods of the year, and with the UK experiencing its third heatwave in as many months, trading activity has held up well at the vehicle remarketing business.
Stock churn remains ahead of the same period in 2025, while year-to-date LCV values have averaged £8,343, also ahead of last year.
BCA said continued investment in cosmetic and mechanical preparation across its network is helping more vehicles reach the market in the right condition, giving buyers greater confidence and supporting stronger first-time conversion.
According to BCA, most buyers are focused on replacing sold stock and prioritising vehicles that can be prepared, marketed and retailed quickly.
Stuart Pearson, BCA COO UK, said: “A clear two-tier market is also emerging.
“The cleanest vehicles are attracting strong buyer competition and converting well, while provenance is becoming increasingly important, with buyers placing greater value on service history, spare keys and accurate condition reporting, particularly in specialist vehicle segments.
“By contrast, lower-grade, higher-mileage stock and vehicles requiring mechanical work continue to meet greater buyer resistance and need to be priced competitively.
“Encouragingly, EV LCVs have maintained strong momentum, improving across all core performance metrics.”
