Buying new vans with marketable features and options is the best way to ensure good resale values, according to BCA's commercial vehicle general manager Duncan Ward.
"Generally, a better specification will make a van more desirable and saleable, with higher-spec vehicles often selling more quickly, improving cashflow for the seller," he said. "The key is knowing which features are worth paying for when it comes to resale value."
Ply-lined interiors are popular at auction and could add upwards of £100 to a van's value. Side-loading doors, even for smaller vans, are another essential, according to BCA, with single, nearside doors adding £150 to average resale values, and yet more desirable double doors worth an additional £250.
Vans with aircon should have bulkheads for efficiency, although aircon is actually considered wasteful for vehicles bought for short-haul, stop-start delivery work.
