2019 / 19plate momemtum d4 models for sale with 4k miles at £23-24k - 40% off list price in less than 6 months. i'd say that is a pretty steep fall.
My Skoda - which i ended up despising due to the poor customer service only lost 50% over 2.5 years.
But bargains such as this aren't a new thing - I bought my 67-plate V90 Inscription at 6-months old as a pre-reg with 93 miles on the clock from a main dealer in April 2018, over a year before the recall, yet paid £28K for a car with a list of £46K - that's also a 40% discount and certainly wasn't related to the recall. Personally, I don't believe the recall has impacted residuals at all, however, if you were to suggest that the continuing rhetoric and Government policy around diesels were impacting diesel values then I'd heartily agree.
