200,000 miles - that's the top end of the mileage range in cap hpi's residual forecasts for new light commercial vehicles, alongside valuations in both pounds and percentage of list price for terms of twelve to sixty months. For fleets running vans hard on last-mile and multi-drop work, that's a forecasting ceiling that reaches properly into high-mileage disposal territory. (cap hpi)

cap hpi's August overview for used light commercial vehicles sets out its RV commentary in five sections: forecast changes, market conditions, historic forecast accuracy, methodology and products, and a sector reforecast schedule for 2026/27. That last section matters on its own - it tells fleets and lessors when specific van and pickup sectors are next due a formal RV review, rather than leaving them guessing. (cap hpi)

Why this matters: If your disposal plan assumes high mileages, check where your fleet sits against the 200,000-mile ceiling before setting contract mileage caps or end-of-term charges - and flag the reforecast schedule to your leasing provider so residuals on any sector due a review this year aren't taken as gospel too far in advance.
