A survey by remarketing specialist BCA has indicated that the residual values of cars as measured by the average values achieved, are beginning to return to normal in the UK. In June 2010, the average value of used cars was recorded at £ 5,802, which is £ 146 up on the previous month. One of the reasons for this is stated to be a 16% increase in the sales of new premium segment cars, leading to an increase in these higher value vehicles coming onto the second hand market.
