Thoroughly inspect the frame for rust, cracks, or signs of previous repairs, especially around welds and stress points.

Check the condition of all tires (including spare) for wear, age, and proper inflation. Inspect wheel bearings for play.

Test all lights (running, brake, turn signals) and examine the wiring for any cuts, corrosion, or shoddy repairs.

Inspect the braking system: check brake lines, drums/calipers, and ensure the breakaway system is functional.

Examine the decking for rot (if wood), severe warping, or deep rust (if steel), as replacement can be costly.

Verify the trailer's VIN with the title and ensure the load capacity (GVWR) meets your intended hauling needs.
