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 August has proven itself as another busy month, with several new additions to the product, as well as a busy month for reforecasting. Despite declining registration numbers in the sector, new additions into the product for pick-ups continue. With more 2-seat variants to combat the taxation limitations of double cab pick-ups having been added to the product this month, as well as new trim levels for others, it’s clear that OEMs are not giving up on the sector. Most notably however is the introduction of the BYD Shark 6 pick-up. It’s been heavily speculated online about its arrival into the UK, even with videos on popular social media platforms on the topic, but with it now confirmed and officially launched, the plug-in hybrid Shark 6 has certainly made some waves within the industry. With two OEMs now offering PHEV powertrains in their pick-ups, the question is if any more will follow suit. The last time the electric sector was reforecast, an overall positive trend was seen, with very few negative movements. What we’ve seen this month is much of the same nature, but also some stability too. In a sector that has been turbulent to say the least, the stability will certainly be welcomed by many. Despite the recent dip in fuel prices, the worry of more price hikes still looms, and with electric LCVs becoming more readily available, more capable and overall more attractive, the turning point towards electrified commercial mobility seems to be in full swing. New additions for Land Rover, both in Defender and Discovery, have seen updated specifications and external updates, but as a result has also forced a reforecast. Land Rover has unfortunately suffered lately and has seen some consistent negative movements month on month, and this month has continued in the same vein too. A few other sectors have seen some forced reforecasts due to performance, including some small and medium vans, VAT Qualifying ranges and minibuses. Whilst every effort is made to ensure reforecasting sticks to the published schedule, there are factors that would trigger a reforecast outside of this schedule. Overall, August has brought with it a lot of positivity, optimism and excitement due to the new additions and outlook again of the electric sector. Now being the second reforecast in a row for electrics that has seen a positive trend, it could well be a trend that is seen more often as the sector grows and adapts.

The latest SMMT LCV registration figures for June show a modest year on year increase of 2,598 units during the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025. However, growth accelerated in Q2, with an additional 5,637 LCVs registered compared with Q2 2025. While this suggests that the new LCV market is strengthening as the year progresses, the same cannot be said for all sectors. Most notably, double-cab pick-up registrations continue to be heavily impacted by the BIK rule changes, falling by almost 57% (-1,587 units) in June.This decline was more than offset by strong growth in the panel van sectors.
