The 2018 Dennison trailer cohort is exceptionally reliable, with a 96.9% first-time pass rate that significantly outperforms the UK average of 80%—and critically, none of the 124 trailers analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect. These are workhorses built to pass inspection, making them a dependable choice for commercial or heavy-duty use.

The near-total absence of advisories (0.0 per vehicle) and minimal failures (0.19 per vehicle) suggests these trailers either operate well within their design parameters or are maintained to high standards by their owners. If you're considering one, check its maintenance records and service history closely, as these numbers indicate that when problems do occur, they're likely the result of neglect rather than inherent design weakness.
