I would agree with you if a) there was any evidence that car-towed trailers were use anywhere near as frequently as artic trailers and b) if there was any evidence to suggest that there are frequent problems with caravan-trailer safety. The fact is that most car towed trailers and caravans are used for just a couple of thousand miles each year, if that. My rubbish trailer is used for a six mile round trip to the council tip four or five times a year. To suggest at that level of useage that is should have an annual MOT is a nonsense. I also tow a caravan but don't have any regular pattern of use. This year I have use it once (round trip to Brighton from Cheshire). On other years I have used it three or four times. Unlike motorhomes which are often used daily from a site - caravans are towed to the site and then pitched up until the journey home. The running gear, brakes, etc, does not, therefore, get anywhere near the wear that an artic trailer would.
Uno-Hoo!
