There isn't any discernible pattern to when and what, but they review and adjust the Depreciation Code associated with a car from time to time, especially as a car moves along the lifecycle (e.g. a few adjustments made to F10 5's last year as the new model arrived), sometimes up and sometimes down. Each code has a pattern of residual %'s associated and they supposedly try to match a code pattern to values in the market. In 2015 there were a lot of valuation increases as residual values started to bounce back a little from the kicking they got in the downturn. Later in 2017 there seemed to be a bit of a move towards reducing residuals on some cars as the effect of the volume of cars coming from the UK has impacted on residuals a bit.Originally Posted by Damien
