    I am thinking of buying a MK/MJ which would be the best? It will need to be downrated or derated how easy will this be and what paperwork would be need? If down rated I beleve from reading on here that it would come under the MOT testing and not LGV/HGV testing is this correct? There was one on milweb last week looked very good but was sold very quickly, has anyone on here have one for sale or are thinking of selling one? Alec
