Any car transporter trailer should be fitted with a hitch that includes an overrun brake mechanisim. Make sure that this mechanism is functioning correctly (Not Seized) and keep it well lubricated.
It is widely believed that car transporters do not require and MOT or road TAX. This is incorrect, there are a few exceptions but a standard recovery truck with a beaver tail and ramps requires both MOT and TAX, regardless of the Logbook
In the 2001 census the population of the Borough of Kettering was 81844. The town is nearly due north of London and is situated on the west bank of the River Ise. Kettering is on the Midland Mainline Railway and as a result is a popular location for commuters. In fact, Kettering is only about one hour from London St.Pancras which is a direct interchange with the Eurostar train service to Europe.
I have bought an old boat trailer on eBay, the trailer is solid and the running gear is in good condition but the trailer has no manufacturers plate or weight rating on it. So, my question is is the trailer road legal with brakes?...View Entire Thread
