There are plenty of dealerships available, so why should you choose Malcolm Taylor?

A Mind-Boggling Choice

From large removals firms to a single plumber London, we understand that every business is unique and with that comes unique requirements. With this in mind, we pride ourselves on being able to match a customer with a used truck which will perfectly meet their expectations. We stock vehicles from some of the best manufacturers in the world such as Iveco, DAF and Mercedes-Benz so you can rest assured that when you purchase your vehicle with us, you are getting a reliable, and quality truck.

Great Value

The main reason you’ll be purchasing a second-hand vehicle over a brand new one is to save money. That is why we stock used trucks from £20,000 right down to as low as under £3,000, so if all you need is a small van, you don’t need to break the bank.

Flexible Payment

If you’re a new business or a sole tradesman with a small budget then you may not have the immediate funds to pay out for a vehicle straight away. However, if you purchase your used truck from us, we can offer a range of payment options and vehicle finance to spread the cost.

We are regularly updating our stock so be sure to get in touch with us to find out about our latest used trucks for sale. You can call us on 01625 890 069 or alternatively you can send us your enquiry using our online contact form.

By following our advice, we are sure that you will find the perfect used truck with all the necessary features at a price that you can afford.

Tip One: Budget

New trucks quickly lose their value, which makes our collection of used trucks very appealing to many businesses looking to expand their fleet of transportation to budget. However, as with a new truck, it’s important that you set yourself a budget so that you don’t go beyond your means.

Here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials, we will help you stick to your budget by giving you a list of vehicles that you are able to afford. This will allow you to compare the used trucks available, and select one that meets your requirements, which brings us onto our next point.

Tip Two: Business Requirements

It’s important before you look at the used trucks available that you outline what requirements are needed to support your business. To do this, look at your current set of trucks and outline any features such as weight capacity, height restrictions and width that you may require.

If you would like further advice on how to choose the correct used trucks, then you should get in touch with us here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials. Regardless of whether you have recently gained your HGV licence and wish to forge an exciting new career or you want another truck to help with your business – we at Malcolm Taylor Commercials can help.

At Malcolm Taylor Commercials we specialise in the supply of high-spec, quality used vehicles that are affordable and unfailing in their performance; but while we are dedicated to sourcing trusty vehicles, other dealers may not be so inclined, which is why it’s important to find a dependable dealer who you can trust. This is something, that as responsible dealers ourselves, we feel that we can help you with, and one of the main reasons why many of our customers come to us for advice.

A vehicle is a big investment, regardless of whether it is used or new which is why it’s important that you invest your money wisely.

Furthermore, we will offer you our professional opinion about which is the better vehicle, and what would suit your needs better.

You may think that the helpful advice we offer is available at most dealerships, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case; and rather than thinking about the needs of the consumer, many try and upsell a vehicle that a customer doesn’t want or need. However, here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials we are committed to meeting the needs of our customers, which is why many come to us for used trucks, whether it’s after recently gaining their HGV licence or for their business.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Disclaimer of Endorsement: Reference herein to any specific commercial products, process, or service by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not necessarily constitute or imply its endorsement, recommendation, or favouring by Malcolm Taylor Commercials.

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.
