At the moment it have 6 month wof checks but as its a home built I was thinking I could de reg the plates and then re vin it so it becomes 2018 home built and get yearly wof checks.
Anyone done this?

You can but in reality theres a few options depending on honesty & whats been done to the trailer. Some ppl try to reg as brand new to get the 1st 3 year wof & 1 year after that but it's pretty clear that it's not brand new. Same with the other option of rebuilt for 1year wofs.

well i wont say i have but i can gurantee you it could work. Now here is how to do it . You would get new plates now and wait 1 year . in this time you refurbish the old trailer make it as new as possible to make it as a new home build clone copy of the old one. Then you put the plates on and take it for a wof as a 1 year old home build trailer and get your 1 year wof. Works ok on home build trailers. after 1 year you still geta first 2 year wof. i would not try and pass it on as new build"straight after you got new plates" as any form of rust would give it away =its not new . you want 0 rust and as new condition looking after 1 year .Remember if you get to greedy you get caught . Thats what the free man down the road used to say lol Rebuild dont get 1 year wof either i think . So must be new home build to quailfy for the full extent.

Its a very sturdy full metal ex rental and only gets used 3 times per wof. Just a tad annoying to have to wof nearly every time its used.
Thinking I might replace the bearing, wheels and repaint. Not that it needs its it. It would be good to be able to run it down with the car once a year
Yes I have done this 15 years ago. All good, all fair in love and war. Go for it. The way things are going you won't be able to do any work on your trailer in the future so do it now.

The rego system around trailers is so lax it is a joke. I brought a used trailer that needed to be registered, so i went in to do that. "what year is it ?'' "dunno'' ''could you take a guess ?'' !
