Market conditions, vehicle values and the factors expected to shape the remainder of 2026 dominated discussion at the latest BVRLA Residual Value and Remarketing (RVR) Forum last week, hosted by International Motors in Solihull.
Presentations from Autotrader and Autorola explored current supply and demand trends, including the impact of pre-registration activity, the growth of two-year finance and leasing agreements, changing consumer confidence and whether buyers are trading up or down in the current market. The Forum also examined the competitive landscape between challenger brands and established manufacturers, alongside the impact of emerging market disruptors on vehicle values and remarketing activity.
The 60+ delegates in attendance also heard updates on several BVRLA initiatives and industry developments. Members heard about plans for a new dealer training programme aimed at improving EV sales knowledge and capability, received a presentation of findings from the latest OEM Relationship Survey, and explored the growing importance of residual value governance and risk management.
Feedback from delegates highlighted the breadth and relevance of the agenda, with attendees commenting on the variety of speakers and value of the practical insights shared.
The next RVR Forum will take place on 11 November, hosted by Tesla in Birmingham. Further information and registration details are available via Residual Value & Remarketing Forum.
