Buying the right used truck can prove to be an extremely wise investment indeed; benefiting your pockets as well as your comfort and happiness on the road. The term ‘used’ is understandably one which buyers may shy away from and in some cases, rightly so, as a truck’s quality may be lowered by previous use. However, here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials, we only supply high-quality and reliable used trucks that will feel like new but come at a fraction of the price.
As you can see, the question ‘why buy a used truck?’ is one that is quickly answered when shopping with Malcolm Taylor Commercials. The reasons to buy a used truck from us is that you will benefit from the price while still reaping the rewards of a strong truck that drives well and doesn’t let you down. Put simply: why would you buy a brand new truck when you can have the same experience and be offered the same cabin capabilities at a smaller price?
Although now we’ve answered that question, the next logical thing to ask is ‘which truck do I buy?’. Luckily enough, we have that covered too, offering an extensive range of trucks from light vans and trailers all the way to sturdy HGV’s – and with new trucks coming in each day it is a great idea to keep checking our showroom if you don’t initially find what you’re looking for. We also aren’t locked down to one particular brand, so you will find names that include DAF, Iveco, Mercedes Benz, Man, Scania and Volvo, all ensuring that you will drive away with the truck you had in mind.
Now we’ve covered why you should buy a used truck and which one you could buy, all you need to do is get in touch with us or take a look around the online showroom. Soon enough you could be driving away with an affordable, practical and high-quality truck that suits all of your needs, whether you’re an experienced driver or have just acquired your HGV License. Buying a used truck is a great way to start or continue your journey on the road.

Truck drivers today want a vehicle that can nip around town, travel over rough terrain, and is capable of travelling long distances with ease – all whilst being comfortable and above all, mechanically reliable. You may think that this is a tall order, but actually these features are commonplace amongst those that drive them. So, if you are looking for a used truck that fulfils all of these requirements, we at Malcolm Taylor are on hand to assist you in your search.
Our top tip for those wanting to seek high quality vehicles is to firstly find a reliable, professional and trustworthy dealer to source your vehicle from. In our opinion, there is no point contacting a dealer who offers unbelievable prices, as nine times out of ten the vehicle will reflect the price in its shoddy performance.
It’s all well and good taking a vehicle on face value if you buy from us, however, with other dealers we would strongly recommend that you have a look under the bonnet to see for yourself the condition of the engine. If you are not mechanically minded, it’s probably worth taking someone with you who is. This way, you can be confident that the vehicle you finally decide to invest in is mechanically sound.
For buyers, it’s hard not to be drawn into the usual sales spiel that you are confronted with. To ensure you buy a vehicle that works for you on every single level, its best to write down what you will definitely need from the vehicle, whether you’re a carpet cleaner and the vehicle needs space in the back to hold all of your equipment, or you are within the construction industry and need a vehicle that will withstand heavy weights. By outlining what you want, you are more likely to get it.

When you are looking to purchase a used truck, there are a few things you should consider before making your decision.

When shopping for a used truck it is important to pay close attention to the vehicle’s condition to ensure that the truck will offer the reliability you need to have a smooth journey. Read through the truck’s service history to help decide if that truck is the right vehicle for you. We also recommend you take a test drive where possible to get a feel for the driving style of the truck, and to make sure you are aware of any little issues which could become big problems. All of the trucks we supply are always of the highest quality, but it is still wise to carry out your own checks to make sure you are making a sound investment.
If you require vehicle finance to help fund your purchase, we may be able to help.

Buying a used truck has lots of distinct advantages, the primary one being the cost. So, it’s not surprising in the least to discover that more and more businesses are using their initiative and investing in quality, reliable and above all used vehicles. However, to ensure that you grab a fantastic deal on a vehicle that is reliable, there are a few checks you should endeavour to perform before handing over your hard earned cash.
As professional vendors of used vehicles you can rest assured that here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials we know everything there is to know about trucks – including the all-important checks that as a consumer you should make your top priority to perform. So, to give you a helping hand, we have devised the following checklist to ensure that you buy a quality used truck.
1.) Check the vendor of the vehicle. Make a note of their address, double check that is the place where they are currently doing business, and that it’s the address in the Registration Document (V5).
2.) Check to see if the Vehicle’s Identification Number (VIN) matches the number in the Registration Document (V5). Whilst doing this, also check to see if any damage has occurred to this number on the vehicle.
3.) Check for potential wreck damage – examine the body of the vehicle and the engine for signs of alterations, and the general condition of the vehicle.
4.) Test drive the vehicle and listen to the engine, scrutinise the movement and handling of it, and check the exhaust smoke and the overall driving experience.
If, when performing these checks you have some doubts then do not buy the vehicle, it’s not worth the risk.
To reduce the risk of purchasing a used truck that is stolen, damaged or unreliable then stick to the checklist provided by the expert team here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials. We are always happy to help our customers, and you will find a range of trucks for sale that are high in quality. For more information phone us today on 01625 890 069.

From butchers through to painters and decorators, and various businesses in-between; they all rely on their fleet of vehicles to get them from one job to another. Unfortunately, the cost of keeping various vehicles on the road is proving costly as fuel continues to be around the 130.9 mark, but despite the increase in fuel, insurance and road tax, manufacturers, including ourselves here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials have seen an increase in both new and used truck sales, compared to this time last year.
Reports which were released in May 2011 have shown that sales of vehicles over six tonnes have increased by 54.9% compared to the same period last year. One of the main reasons behind the increase in sales is due to the country settling down following the last few years of financial turmoil and the offers which many manufacturers have been presenting.
Unfortunately, despite the offers around, not all businesses are in a comfortable position where they can dip into the profits to purchase a brand new truck. If you’re currently in this situation, our team here at Malcolm Taylor Commercials can help.
As one of the leading used truck specialists within the Cheshire area, via our website and forecourt you’ll find a vast range of high quality used vehicles.
Through our fleet of used trucks we aim to cater for all businesses and our current stock of vehicles includes the Ford Transit Fridge Van, the Iveco 7.5ton Beavertail and a DAF 24ft Dropsider with Palfinger Crane. So whether you’re a butcher, builder or roofer Bromsgrove, you’ll be able to find your perfect vehicle through us.
Due to the high quality used truck selection we have available and the affordable price-tags they have, our stock is forever changing, so if you cannot see a vehicle to meet your needs, be sure to keep checking our website or contact our team via 01625 890069.

The importance of highlighting the key design considerations which you require in a used truck is essential when investing in one. Underlining the features which you expect from a used truck will aid in the overall process of buying one. We have accumulated years of experience here at Malcolm Taylor, and consequently we understand the requirements that a consumer should be on the lookout for, when they are investing in a vehicle.
The first step to outlining the design characteristics which you will require in a used truck is to identify your individual needs. This is where the team at Malcolm Taylor will endeavour to help you.
Will you require a truck that was designed to withstand a substantial amount of weight or not? If so, you need to ascertain what is the minimum weight restriction you are willing to accept. Once you have done this, you can whittle down the search and find a truck to suit your requirements.
If the truck is going to be used to carry perishable goods, then you will need to invest in a special fridge/freezer truck. This ensures high health and safety levels, and the safe transfer of goods. This is the kind of design consideration which you will need to contemplate when buying a truck.
If you have just passed your LGV training, and your planning on becoming a LGV driver then you will need to consider the type of work you will be doing. If you are doing long haul deliveries, then you will need to ensure that the truck you opt for has a suitable cabin area for you to sleep in.
Obviously, there are lots of different design considerations to deliberate upon before you commit to buying a used truck – this is what the team at Malcolm Taylor are here for. We are able to offer our expert guidance and advice to all of those who seek it, so you invest in a truck which matches your specification down to a Tee.

Used trucks are proving to be a worthwhile investment which many businesses are choosing to take full advantage of. However, it’s often tempting to spend more money on a vehicle you didn’t set out to buy in the first place. It happens to the best of us, especially when you go the supermarket without a shopping list and inadvertently end up buying half the store. This is why here at Malcolm Taylor we would recommend to all of our customers to draw up a list of key requirements which their used truck must have.
Drawing up a list of criteria of what you’re looking for in a truck has two major advantages. Firstly, you can narrow down your search quickly without any fuss, and secondly you are able to walk away with a truck that you know can be used effectively for your business requirements.
By talking through the main points which your truck will need to do, you can pinpoint exactly what your used truck will need to have in order to fulfil a particular task. So whether you are undergoing LGV training and want a truck for when you have finished, or you need a used truck for your business, highlighting important requirements is essential. Once you have outlined the key necessities of your used truck, you will then need to look at the vehicle itself.
Do you want a used truck which is fuel efficient and low in carbon emissions? If so, this will narrow down your search considerably.
When looking for a used truck, you should also consider the mileage. However, it is important that you are realistic about the mileage you would prefer, as a lower mileage will boost the price tag of your used truck.
If you require professional advice on used trucks and the different specifications to consider, then contact the team here at Malcolm Taylor. We have the expertise and experience to offer invaluable advice. Phone us today on 01625 890 065.

A brand new vehicle manufactured to order, may seem appealing for your company, however the reality is that it’ll set you back near to the £25,000 mark at the cheapest and it’ll take a few months for it to be produced; neither of which are always viable when you need to increase your fleet in a hurry. Fortunately there are a number of suppliers of used trucks such as us here at Malcolm Taylor, who can provide you with a wide selection of high quality vehicles for a fraction of the price you’d be paying for a new vehicle – and if you shop around you could get a lot more for your money too.
Our experienced, friendly and professional team understand how important it is to ensure that you purchase used trucks which you can be happy with, and confident that they will prove to be long lasting for your firm, which is why we’ve compiled this guide for buying such a vehicle.
Whilst purchasing a new vehicle may be as simple as visiting the dealership, explaining what you require before listening to the finance packages available and signing on the dotted line, purchasing a used vehicle involves more checks that you’ll need to carry out yourself.
1) Decide what you’ll be using the vehicle for – is it to carry heavy machinery, to deliver items around the country, for LGV training or as a service vehicle? The vehicle you opt for should reflect its usage.
2) Check the Exterior – once you’ve decided on the model you require, it’s advisable to check the exterior, particularly around petrol gaps, joints and underneath the vehicle for signs of rust or damage – this will give you an indication as to how well looked after the vehicle has been.
3) Don’t forget the mechanics, oil, brake fluid and water coolants – check these for signs of damage or leaks. If you’re not confident in checking these parts, ask a mechanic to come with you to provide a second opinion.
If you want to ensure that the used trucks you’re looking at are of the highest quality and will provide a reliable service for years to come, whatever they’re used for, then visit the Malcolm Taylor Commercials forecourt at Trafford Park, Manchester.
