Explaining the decision, Peter Allibon, Mazda Motors UK sales director, said: "We see the benefits of supporting our franchised dealer network to open up their part-exchanges to a wider network of trade buyers in a more effective and technologically-advanced way."
According to Manheim, part-ex vehicle prices increased year-on-year in July, although vehicle valuation firm CAP Automotive described prices as merely "stable" during the month, following an influx of part-ex vehicles in March.
