If you're selling a Volvo FH and want to know where yours sits in the current market, this

Mercedes-Benz is one of the most recognisable truck brands in UK haulage, and the Actros sits at the top of its commercial range. Whether you're running an older MP3 unit that's served a long career on trunk routes, a mid-cycle MP4 from a well-maintained fleet, or a newer MP5 GigaSpace that's due for replacement,

Scania is one of the most loyally followed truck brands in UK haulage. Operators who run Scanias tend to stay with them, and the brand's reputation for engineering quality, cab comfort, and longevity at high kilometres has built a buyer base that's consistently active regardless of where the market is at.

Refrigerated trailers — known in the industry as fridge trailers, reefers, or temperature-controlled units — are among the most specialised assets in the UK commercial vehicle fleet. They're more complex to value than a standard curtainsider, more expensive to maintain, and the buyer pool is slightly more specialist. But when the time comes to

If you own a HIAB or crane-mounted lorry and you're thinking about selling, you've probably already discovered that it isn't as straightforward as selling a standard rigid truck. The crane itself adds a layer of complexity — valuation, LOLER compliance, buyer pool, and the paperwork involved all differ from a regular lorry sale. This

As the UK transport industry continues to adapt to economic pressure and environmental expectations, buyers are increasingly asking more specific questions than ever before. Rather than simply searching “What is the best used truck?”, many are now focusing on queries such as “Are rigid trucks more fuel efficient than tractor units?” or “Which truck

Ongoing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have undoubtedly put fuel prices under pressure, with businesses across the UK bracing for potential increases in operating costs. For those buying used trucks, that added pressure makes one thing even more important: understanding the true cost of ownership beyond the initial purchase price. We take an

Buying a used truck should be simple, right? Find a good price, check the condition, get it on the road and start earning. But the reality can be quite the opposite. How and why do so many operators run into difficulties? The biggest mistake we see time and time again is this: "Buying based
