The average winning bid for used vehicles in September, compiled by USS, was ¥1,275,000, down 2.2% year on year. This was the first year-on-year decline in 13 months.
The decline is attributed to a reaction to the surge in prices in the same month of the previous year, as well as strong overseas demand.
Reports indicate that expanding overseas demand in September 2025 pushed used-vehicle market prices below the previous year's levels.
