"You'd be hard pressed to find many 10/12-tonne trucks of any make at auction it's an awkward weight category. The industry is polarised at 7.5 and 18 tonnes and there are relatively few for resale at weights in between. Flats, curtainsiders and boxes all sell well at this weight but surprisingly we find that flats can attract a premium, partly because there are fewer of them and because they're popular for conversion into horseboxes.

Buyers look for higher power models which are two to three years old and, as always they must be clean and tidy."
