The National Trailer and Towing Association (NTTA) is the foremost professional body for the trailer and towing sector in the UK, working to set standards and champion best practices throughout the industry. The NTTA collaborates with manufacturers, service providers, and regulators to enhance safety, ensuring that trailers are maintained to the highest levels and that road users are protected.

A key aspect of the NTTA’s work is in partnership with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), conducting regular roadside inspections to check that trailers meet legal and safety requirements. These checks help to identify non-compliant trailers, reducing risks on the roads and holding owners accountable for keeping their equipment in proper condition.

The NTTA is proactive in advancing trailer safety, offering educational campaigns, technical advice, and training to encourage responsible ownership and regular maintenance. While trailer MOTs are not yet compulsory, the NTTA continues to advocate for their introduction, recognising their role in preventing accidents caused by poor upkeep and influencing the development of industry policies and the driving force in government to get this past as legislation.

During inspections, the NTTA and DVSA may issue G9 notices to owners of trailers that fail to comply with regulations, detailing any faults and requiring corrective action. This process underscores the importance of regular servicing and maintaining safety standards to protect both owners and other road users.
