People are increasingly choosing hybrid cars and alternative fuels over more traditional methods of travelling and filling up, according to a new report.
British Car Auctions (BCA) has found that diesel values have gone down by 3.5 per since January to 92 per cent.
It added that the amount also fell during June, by three points, with the amount for the month also at 92 per cent.
The increased interest may mean that people taking out car finance deals could be using their car credit to buy environmentally-friendly vehicles.
BCA communications director Tony Ganon said: "There is a groundswell of interest in alternative fuelled vehicles and this is reflected in the strong performance being recorded against guide values in a market that is otherwise seeing values in decline."
This comes as the latest used car index from BCA shows a decrease in vehicle values to £5,532 over quarter two.
