No need for new trailer then iv the same meself on my 165 i just changed the brake shoes and bearings in the trailer and bought a new spare wheel, only thing that can go is bearings really and make sure your tyres are good

I also changed the winch strap too as it was €14 for a brand new 7metre strap

have changed the bearings and wheels but a friend of mine the trailer broke at the stub axle there is no way of checking the condition of this so for peace of mind im going to change the trailer no worries then for at least 15 years

Had to replace stub axles on car transporter ( same axle set up as coaster) came as a pair complete with hub/brakes/bearings etc already fitted, bout 300 for the pair, much cheaper than a new trailer . . . .

Defo new trailer should be last resort altogether if trailer is badly rotted and welds are looking tatty
