BCA has launched a new dedicated cosmetic grading service for leisure vehicles.
With a regular fortnightly sales programme featuring the widest range of leisure vehicles, the new service will make it easier to identify and compare condition to support the purchasing process.
Stuart Pearson, BCA COO, said: “With growing volumes and high levels of interest in our regular programme of Leisure Vehicle sales, we are delighted to announce the launch of another industry-first with our new leisure vehicle grading service.
“BCA’s considerable expertise in this sector, combined with our latest innovation, will ensure that our customers have access to the best possible and most consistent information when caravans, campervans and motorhomes are offered for sale.
“Whatever the value band, customers want vehicles that can be turned into a sales opportunity quickly, and this new Leisure Vehicle Grading service has been developed to support all parts of this process and provide benefits to buyers and sellers alike.”
BCA’s Leisure Vehicle Cosmetic Grading provides insight into the visual condition of the interior, exterior and habitation area of a vehicle, and the information is displayed as part of BCA’s detailed online catalogue listings.
A bespoke appraisal application supports the delivery of a consistent inspection process for leisure vehicles, with the external assessment using a Standard Viewing Angle (SVA) of two metres at both 90° and 45° angles, along with a visual assessment of the habitation area and cabin.
Using BCA’s grading algorithm, the information is used to generate a report which also consistently delivers the associated grade of the vehicle (from A to E), with any significant defects imaged and displayed within the online catalogue listing.
BCA Online stages Leisure Vehicles sales on alternate Thursdays at 12 Noon, with forthcoming events on 19 February, and the 5th and 19th of March.
