Commercial Overview July 2026
Month on month, new LCV registrations in May increased by 8.8% (+1,904 units), according to the latest data from the SMMT. This represents an increase of 824 units when compared to May 2025. However, the year to date position remains slightly behind last year at 127,044 registrations, 831 fewer than during the same period in 2025. This shortfall stems from weaker performance earlier this year, with January and March registrations lagging behind last year by 2,872 units. With stronger registration volumes in April and May, reducing the year on year deficit to just under 1000 units, the new LCV market is in good shape. However, as we head towards the main July-August holiday period, as the chart above shows, we normally see a decline in new registrations in the run up to the September plate.

This is the cap guide to future residual values for light commercial vehicles. Individual forecasts are provided in pounds and percentage of list price for periods of twelve to sixty months with mileage calculations up to 200,000. Monthly Wrap-Up After an extremely busy month of June, July is noticeably calmer. With no new entrants into the market, only additions to existing line-ups, OEMS have taken the opportunity to expand their offerings. Notably we’ve seen additions to the D-max range to include the commercial conversions in the new powertrain, specification revisions to the Toyota Proace line up and the option of the Plug-In Hybrid powertrain for the Volkswagen Transporter. It is clear to see that the recent legislative changes, and the fast-approaching changes, are a driving force behind the changes in manufacturer’s portfolios. As the need to ‘bridge the gap’ between full electric and combustion options, the introduction of the plug-in hybrid offering brings another option to the table, in what is already an incredibly small sector. A relatively small reforecasting month has allowed for some further analysis of other sectors that aren’t yet due to their spotlight. A mixed bag across the Large Van sector, suggesting the trend is very much manufacturer led rather than sector driven. Although the majority of the movements we’ve seen this month are relatively small, we have seen some larger movements due to continued trends that have been visible over the past few months. This month specifically Land Rover Defender and the Toyota Corolla van have attracted the biggest movements due to continuing trends in the used market, as well as anecdotal evidence from within the industry.

Welcome to our latest overview of Service Maintenance and Repair (SMR) Budgets, previously known as the ‘gold book SMR editorial’. This is aimed at our Fleet sector customers, who may use the Budgets when setting their lease rates. Any customer suggestions for improvement would be appreciated: please e-mail [email protected] Following our acquisition of Derwent Management Services in 2014, cap-hpi Ludlow (Derwent) data has been used to populate our SMR budget forecast product since October 2014, but there have been no technical changes to any of our data files or services. As we expected, the new data represented a considerable improvement in terms of vehicle coverage compared to our previous external supplier, with more than 4,200 additional cars and LCVs being valued at implementation. Overall, Car coverage is 97.9% with many of the vehicles valued in gold book for the first time also included in the SMR data. The new budgets are based on our market leading Burn Rate data and incorporate the latest probability distributions for all elements, based on real world costs. In our opinion, it reflects a much more realistic representation of the likely future SMR expenditure than we were able to display in the past.

This is the cap guide to future residual values for light commercial vehicles. Individual forecasts are provided in pounds and percentage of list price for periods of twelve to sixty months with mileage calculations up to 200,000. Monthly Wrap-Up As expected, April has been another busy month for new additions into the guide, with over 188 new IDs added into the Monitor product. Amongst additions to existing ranges, we have seen one new entrant into the BEV sector, but the vast majority of IDs have been ICE. This is not a new trend either, with the majority of new IDs over the past year still for vehicles having an internal combustion engine. With the ZEV mandate nearing, it does raise the question of when the scales will tip. There are some exciting entries from Farizon, Ford and Volkswagen, to name a few, with the return of the Sportline trim from Volkswagen in their Transporters and an increase in 2-seat double cab conversions in the pick-up market from Ford and Mitsubishi. It’s certainly an interesting time to see the direction that OEMs are pursuing in the current climate. This month was also reforecasting for VAT Qualifying, Minibuses and Electrics. Unfortunately, the downward trajectory from the BEV sector continues as the uncertainty to make the switch remains. Although there have been positive movements from realignment exercises and performance-based evidence, the overall negative trend is strong. Given the nearing of the ZEV Mandate, plus price pressures at the pumps, the swing could well be on the horizon, but, for this month at least, the factors at play are still forcing negative trajectories amongst the sector.
