The Importance of Regular Trailer Servicing
When it comes to towing, your trailer is just as important as your vehicle. Yet many owners overlook trailer maintenance — often because trailers don’t require an MOT. Here’s why regular trailer servicing is essential:
🔧 Safety Comes First
Brakes, tyres, bearings, suspension and lights all deteriorate over time.
Faulty brakes or under-inflated tyres can cause dangerous accidents.
Broken lights and indicators increase the risk of collisions, especially at night or in poor weather.
💸 Save Money on Repairs
Catching problems early prevents costly damage.
A seized brake cable can ruin shoes and drums.
A worn bearing can lead to a detached wheel and axle damage.
Servicing avoids breakdowns that take your trailer off the road for weeks.
🚙 Better Performance on the Road
A serviced trailer tows more smoothly and safely.
Less strain on your towing vehicle = better fuel economy.
Alignment and weight checks reduce swaying, bouncing, or uneven handling.
⚖️ Stay Road Legal
UK law makes drivers responsible for ensuring trailers are roadworthy.
Requirements include: working brakes (for trailers over 750kg loaded), legal tyres, secure towing connections, and functioning lights.
Regular servicing ensures your trailer always meets these standards.
⏳ Even If You Don’t Use It Often
Standing idle can be just as damaging as heavy use.
Tyres perish, bearings seize, brakes corrode, and wiring degrades over time.
Without servicing, problems often appear only when it’s too late.
✅ Peace of Mind
Confidence that your trailer is safe and reliable.
Assurance that you’re staying within the law.
Fewer breakdowns, lower repair costs, and safer journeys.
👉 In short: Regular trailer servicing keeps you safe, saves money, improves performance, and ensures you stay legal. Don’t wait until something goes wrong — book your trailer service with us today!
