Caravan Advice please?

As I understand it no formal MOT requirements but it must be safe to be on the road, and as such should still be subjected to checks to ensure it is safe. I'm sure you wouldn't want a caravan that would fall to pieces or have braking problems or turn over on the road etc.

For this reason I wonder if a motorhome could be a better option on the second hand market as you have some assurance that the whole thing is roadworthy from the last MOT.

There is no legal need for service/inspection to caravas.

They do need to be road-legal, though. This relates to tyres. brakes, lighting & not having any obvious defects, which could cause problems/harm to other road users. Things like sharp edges, from body damage & loose trim etc.

The main concern with lack of maintainence, apart from the above, is not to have the gas system checked regularly, as this is a potentially leathal thing, if it were to become faulty. But only really applies once it's off the road, of course!
