When buying used, check the drawbar and towing eye for cracks, as well as the axles, brake system and suspension for condition and tightness. Standard checks include tyres, lighting and the load bed coating. Also check the tightness of the air-brake connections, the lashing points and the frame for corrosion at the welds. Spare parts for axles and brake systems are available through the general commercial vehicle parts trade.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
