Quick answer

Used trucks can often be financed, but older or highly specialised assets may need a stronger applicant, shorter term or larger deposit.

  • Age and kilometres matter
  • Condition matters
  • Private sales can be possible
  • Valuation may be required

A used truck can be a practical purchase when the asset suits the work and the price makes sense. Lenders will usually look at the truck age, kilometres, body type and expected commercial use.

What lenders consider

  • Truck age and remaining useful life
  • Service history and condition
  • Purchase price compared with market value
  • Whether the term suits the asset
