At 7,177, the total number of LCVs sold at auction in November fell sharply across all age bands. Compared to this same month in 2013, this represented an overall fall of 10%.
Alex Wright, chairman of NAMA Commercial Vehicle Group, commented: ‘In November, although the trade’s appetite for clean stock at all years held firm, the prices that they were prepared to pay for it did not.
‘The fall in average price of 4.4% would undoubtedly have been more marked if there had not been sizeable reductions to both overall volume and average mileage. However, despite a rise in average age, the momentum exhibited by the wholesale LCV marketplace throughout 2014 was maintained with an impressive 82% of lots selling at the first time of being offered.
‘We are confident that the currently high level of demand from both trade and end-user buyers for all clean stock will be maintained with the New Year getting off to a brisk start.’
