Why choose a DLL used ambulance?

A used vehicle is a cost-effective way to enhance your fleet without compromising on quality. Save on costs without sacrificing delivery, allowing you to allocate resources to other critical areas of your service.

Certified quality
Each vehicle in our inventory undergoes a rigorous 90-point inspection to ensure it meets our standards of safety and functionality.

Variety of makes and models
We offer a diverse range of models to suit different requirements, from basic transport units to emergency response, as well as other specialist vehicles.

 

Convenient viewing
Once you have found your ambulance, we make viewing easy. Our vehicles are stored in Reading, and we can meet you for an in-person viewing. Alternatively, we can also conduct video calls. Whichever works best for you.

 

Conversion ready
Start with a high-quality used vehicle that has been maintained as part of the NHS fleet and presents a great opportunity for a second life as a food truck, mobile kitchen, or recreational vehicle. Reducing your initial cost and allowing you to invest more in your customisation.

Payment options
We provide flexible payment options to make acquiring your next vehicle as straightforward as possible. Choose to buy directly from our competitively priced inventory with transparent transactions. Note: All transactions are subject to underwriting and credit approval.

Easy, transparent process
We oversee the complete process, from vehicle check-in and inspection to maintenance and payment options. We can even help arrange delivery throughout the UK.
