This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Introduce annual MoT’s on all cat01 and 02 trailers and caravans.
Introduce legislation for annual inspections on all Cat01 and Cat02 trailers and caravans. This should also include a-frame towed cars.
More details
Type approval was introduced in Oct 2012 for all new Cat01 and 02 trailers. Sadly it was not backed up with any checks.
There has been a catastrophic failure 10 days ago, on an a-frame towed car (still an 02 trailer) and they are subject to no standards or controls whatsoever.
This needs be addressed before there is a fatality.
