March 20, 2012In business, it’s important that you are able to provide a prompt and efficient service, and transportation is one way to ensure that you successfully deliver this. However, if you find that your business is struggling to meet the ever-growing demands of your consumers, then it’s time you invested in an additional vehicle to help get you, your products and your services from A to B.

Posted in Used Trucks | Tagged used trucks |Why Choose a Used Truck Specialist?
February 22, 2012The purchase of a used truck can make a very smart investment indeed – eclipsing that of buying a new truck for many different reasons. However, this only applies when buying from an experienced specialist, because if you don’t, the investment could result in an array of problems. Here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials we are the specialists to provide you with the best investment, and below are the reasons why.
Reliability
Whether you’re looking to widen your fleet of commercial vehicles or have just passed your LGV training with an eye to widening the reach of a fledgling business, reliability will come first in your desired requirements from a truck. Companies that are not specialists with used trucks will not have the breadth of knowledge to tell whether a truck is in good condition and afford you with the reliability you are buying it for.
However, after more than 30 years of successful business, we at Malcolm Taylor source only the best used trucks and can provide you with all the advice you need on what jobs they are best suited to – resulting in you purchasing a truck that does what you want it to.
Choice
Going to a general dealership will offer you only a small selection of trucks in between the many cars you’re not interested in. At Malcolm Taylor, trucks are all we deal with and specialise in, offering an ever-expanding choice of vehicles from all the best manufacturers such as DAF, Iveco, Mercedes Benz, Scania and Volvo.
This extensive choice of reliable trucks are all available at the most affordable prices that will seal the deal when deciding whether to opt for a new or used truck and whether to buy from us – your specialists for every type of pre-owned truck, from box vans to tractor units.

Posted in Used Trucks | Tagged used truck |5 Tips When Choosing a Used Truck
February 7, 2012If business is booming and you’re struggling to meet the demands of your growing business, it’s time you invested in a used truck that will help your business expand and meet the needs of your clients and employees alike. But before you jump head first into a hasty purchase, we at Malcolm Taylor Commercials have devised a few handy tips that will help you identify the perfect truck for your needs.
Tip One: Identify Specific Requirements
All businesses are unique, so to ensure that the truck you invest in meets every single one of your requirements, you’ll need to sit down and write a list of all the things that you need. This should include the height and width needed in the back to transport specific trade materials and products from A to B. In addition to this, you’ll also need to ascertain the minimum weight capacity.
Tip Two: The Ideal Mileage
Whilst you’re making this list of everything your truck will need, it’s important that you have a mileage in mind, that you are not willing to go above. If the mileage is high this will be reflected in the price of the truck for sale, but you don’t want to go too high in case it affects the reliability and overall performance of the vehicle.
Tip Three: Appearance
You may not think the appearance of the used truck matters, but if you are using the vehicle for business, or for deliveries if you have recently obtained your HGV licence, then it does. The outer body work of the truck needs to be presentable to clients, and in most cases will give an accurate presumption about how the vehicle was previously treated. So yes, in this instance it’s sometimes better to judge a book by its cover.
Tip Four: Fuel Consumption
The price of fuel is steadily rising with no hint that this will change in the near future, which is why it’s worth doing your research and identifying a few trucks that have been rated energy efficient. This will lower your fuel consumption and your subsequent costs.
Tip Five: Find a Quality Supplier
The best way to find a quality used truck is by first finding a well-established and reputed supplier, like us here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials.

Posted in Used Trucks | Tagged used truck |The Benefits of Euro 4 Used Trucks
January 24, 2012When you are looking to invest in a used truck, there will be a number of factors for you to take into consideration. The reliability of a truck is important, as is affordability, and more buyers are also becoming more aware of the importance of efficiency. Euro 4 used trucks are the best choice for those who are looking to reduce emissions whilst saving money, and the specialists at Malcolm Taylor Commercials have a wide range of these popular trucks for you to choose from.
There are a number of advantages to choosing a Euro 4 used truck. Read on to learn about the benefits that you could soon be enjoying courtesy of a used truck from our expert team.
A Greener Choice
The Euro 4 regulation is intended to help reduce the pollution created by cars and trucks. It ensures that vehicles produce no more than 0.25g/km of nitrogen oxides, and 0.02g/km of particulate matter. As we all look for ways to become more energy efficient and protect the environment, Euro 4 can help you to do your bit for the planet.
A More Affordable Choice
Motoring consists of a variety of costs which soon add up, particularly if you are using your used truck every day as part of your business after completing LGV training. Parking expenses, fuel costs, maintenance and servicing all cost money, which is why you will be looking for a more affordable solution when you are investing in a new commercial vehicle.
As well as being able to enjoy a lower tax band, drivers of Euro 4 used trucks are also exempt from paying the daily congestion charge when driving within London’s Low Emission Zone. This means that driving can be more affordable for those working in and around the capital.
A Euro 4 used truck offers a number of benefits, and could be the efficient transport solution you are looking for. Let Malcolm Taylor Commercials help you to find your ideal truck from their extensive range.

Posted in General Used Truck News | Tagged used truck |The Benefits of Used Trucks over New
January 10, 2012‘New’ has all the eye-catching connotations of being fresh, just out of the manufacturer’s showroom and yours to drive first, however when you look past these ‘selling-points’ that aren’t actually necessities or advantageous to you, buying new can cost you more than it is actually worth. Buying a used truck from a trusted dealership like Malcolm Taylor Commercials can instead afford you many great benefits, whilst still allowing you to enjoy the quality feel of a brand new truck.
Cost
We’ve already mentioned what a new truck will cost you and in financial terms it’s much more than you need to pay. You will most likely be looking for a truck to suit the requirements of your business in the commercial or industrial sector, so in an environment where cutting costs and watching your budget is paramount to success, why invest in a new vehicle when a used truck from us can provide you with everything a new truck can for a fraction of the price? Used trucks are the smartest solution for businesses across the country that are in need of a reliable truck that does everything they need.
A Truck You Can Rely On
While new trucks can boast promises of long-lasting reliability for however many miles you take it on the road, there is no actual evidence of this and a new-range that is fresh from the factory floor could harbour many unforeseen faults. With a used truck you gain the benefit of being able to see its full service history, how reliable it actually is and you can also read reviews on the specific model before making the purchase.
If you have your LGV training under your belt and are on the lookout for a truck that can cater to all your requirements and deal with regular use, the regularly updated and wide range of used trucks on offer here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials will provide far more benefits than a new one could. For the smart choice, choose a used truck.

Posted in Used Trucks | Tagged used truck |What Things to Ask When Buying a Used Truck
December 21, 2011Due to the recession, many businesses are feeling the financial strain, which has made used vehicles highly appealing, due in-part to their reduced cost and depreciation value. If you want to get your hands on a used truck to help your business grow with demand, then we at Malcolm Taylor Commercials are here to help. As with any used vehicle, you need be aware of what you are buying, and identifying whether it is a wise investment is sometimes harder than you may have initially thought, which is just one of the reasons why we have devised this helpful guide.
To aid you in your search for a used truck that is reliable and cost effective, there are a few simple questions that you need to ask yourself and your dealer.
How Many Miles?
The mileage on the truck will give you some idea of price, and whether you are in a position to barter. Ideally, you’ll want a used truck that has low mileage and that has been treated well. However, if you find a truck which is in good condition but with a high mileage, the price should reflect this.
Top Tip: Set yourself a mileage that you are not prepared to go beyond. This will narrow down your search, and make you more decisive in your decision making.
Is the Price Negotiable?
Most dealers will be able to negotiate on the price, and asking for the cash price of the vehicle could see a reduction in the buying price. Remember, that as the buyer you are in a better position as you have the option to look around. Remind the dealer that you are in no hurry to buy and you will soon see a reduction.
Top Tip: Set a budget for yourself, as only you know what you can and cannot spend, whether it’s for your business enterprise or for when you’ve passed your HGV training.
If you need any additional advice on buying a used truck, be sure to get in touch with us at Malcolm Taylor Commercials; the specialist used truck dealer.
