Buyer’s market: more stock means more choice

Used van market switches from short supply to over supply

THERE has been a very sudden and substantial increase in used van stock, reports auction house BCA.

The unexpected increase to the marketplace coincides with the traditional year-end slowdown for many traders and retailers, putting pressure on used van prices.

The majority of these business vans have come to the market well ahead of their planned de-fleet dates, says BCA, due to economic and business pressures on the operators. These additional units are topping up the already high volumes from the corporate and leasing sector.
