Economic influences are impacting residual values (RVs) in Europe’s used-car markets. But which powertrains and vehicle age groups are holding ground, which are stagnating, and what new trends are emerging? These questions will be answered in Autovista Group’s upcoming webinar.
Used-car markets across Europe have seen some rapid changes in 2025. A complex geopolitical environment is fuelling shifts in RV retention. Some markets are remaining resilient, while others are seeing values fluctuate.
Meanwhile, used-car age groups are facing varying pressures, as powertrains continue to play a decisive role in value retention. But how do these factors affect future outlooks, and what could be the next major market shift?
To find out, sign up for Autovista Group’s latest webinar on 14 October 2025, at 9:30 BST / 10:30 CEST. The free online event will provide an in-depth, data-driven review of the latest European RV trends. Register for The road ahead: Residual value trends and the next market shift.
Pivotal used-car questions
Experts from Autovista Group will answer pivotal questions around current and developing RV trends across Europe. The panel will include:
- Dr Anne Lange, product director, valuation apps at Autovista Group
- Robert Madas, regional head of valuations (DACH and CEE) at Autovista Group
- Javier Salgado, director of valuations and forecast experts at Autovista Group
- Tom Hooker, journalist at Autovista24
These speakers will analyse used-car value retention rates across the continent, covering three major topics.
First, the current economic environment of the used-car market. Europe has seen uncertainty in 2025, with some economies stagnating. The region has also been affected by the implementation of tariffs, and electric powertrains being pushed in the new-car market. These factors can impact used-car metrics such as pricing and supply.
Second, a review of RV trends, broken down by country, age group and powertrains. In Autovista24’s latest Monthly Market Update, European used-car markets continued to see falling RVs when presented as a percentage of new car list price (%RV).
This has cemented an ongoing market trend of value normalisation following the COVID-19 pandemic. The expert panel will discuss whether this is expected to continue in 2025 and into 2026.
Third, an in-depth analysis of RV developments across fleets. With battery-electric vehicles still performing poorly across major markets, could another powertrain become a vital consideration for future strategies?
