New-vehicle leases are reaching record heights, however, a result of this will be that vehicles will be entering the used-car market sooner than purchased vehicles that are sold. A new report reveals that in the US around 3.1m off-lease vehicles are expected to return to the market in 2014 , up from 2.6m in 2015 . That pool of vehicles is expected to grow to almost 3.6 m in 2017 and 4m in 2016 which will put huge pressure on the used-vehicle prices, and it is possible that residual value losses will widen.

New data by Mercedes-Benz's says 8 out of 10 new cars are now acquired through finance deals in the UK as 2015 saw an increase of 16% of new car finance volumes compared to 2014 .
