it’s not too complicated, it’s done here in Sweden.

 
it’s very handy to be told the performance of the brakes on each wheel too for example, (I normally think the brakes are alright, but they always need adjusting, it’s good someone keeps you in your toes!) 

IMO It helps with theft prevention too (that trailers have their own VIN, number plate and V5)

Sounds like a nanny state on steroids. Do they test 750kg domestic trailers as well or just the heavy ones?

I don’t see it as nanny state, just sensible 

 

It’s not a yearly test though, 1st after 5 years then every other year
