Trailer Servicing & Repairs β Don’t Wait Until Something Breaks! ππ§
When was your trailer last serviced?
Whether you tow horses, livestock, machinery or equipment, keeping your trailer roadworthy is essential for everyone’s safety.
We recommend servicing your braked trailer at least once a year, even if it has seen very little use.
After all, brakes can seize, tyres can deteriorate, and mechanical components can develop faults while a trailer sits unused.
Regular servicing isn’t just about maintaining your trailer. It’s about protecting your horses, your family and everyone else on the road.
Why Is Regular Trailer Servicing So Important?
A poorly maintained trailer can become a serious road safety hazard.
Furthermore, if your trailer is found to be unroadworthy, you could face penalties or complications with an insurance claim.
More importantly, neglected brakes, worn tyres or faulty components could contribute to a serious accident.
Therefore, regular inspections and preventative maintenance can help identify problems before they become dangerous and expensive to repair.

Important: Is Your Trailer Properly Insured?
- Before towing, always check with your vehicle insurer that your policy covers towing your particular trailer.
- Remember, third-party towing cover does not necessarily provide comprehensive protection against damage, theft or loss of the trailer itself.
- Therefore, ask your insurer whether you need separate trailer insurance and confirm that your intended use is covered.
Your Responsibility as a Trailer Owner
The Highway Code requires drivers to ensure their vehicle and trailer are roadworthy before towing.

Annual servicing is a recommendation, not a universal legal requirement. Insurance cover and claim decisions depend on individual policy terms.
