“Although values have dropped slightly, average wholesale values are still 31.3% (£1,710) higher than 12 months ago,” explained Mike Pilkington, managing director, Manheim Auctions & Remarketing.
He added: “These price movements are in line with seasonal norms and reflect the more cautious and selective approach to purchasing stock at this time of year.”
