The used market has recently seen an influx of light-commercial vehicles due to thousands of three and four-year contracts coming to an end and then de-fleeted by rental and leasing firms.

This increase in de-fleeted LCVs arriving at auction follows almost three years of shortages and this in turn has increased the prices that dealers are willing to pay to re-stock.

The sudden release of so many LCVs could be a result of concern over the UKs economic stability leading to businesses being keen to not have any unnecessary capacity within their fleets.
