Kendon trailer

I have a chance to buy a Kendon trailer...good price and it looks clean..However its "98 and I am wondering if there is anything I should be looking for??? Is it too old?? Do they wear out?? I have no idea on mileage....

Thanks!!

Just the usuals, check the bearings, make sure the wiring isn't chaffed anywhere. They are super well built.

as mentioned same design as a whole.. check the tires for dry rot, ask about the bearings being greased (most seem to never be done). MOST have surface rust on them, as they are painted not powdercoated.
Wiring is the other big thing.

Also check to see if if it has the detachable loading ramp... when i bought mine i didnt realize there is one that mounts under the flip up tail portion of the ramp. Have to bring a non attachable ramp with it now.

They hold their value that is for sure, typically $1200-1600

I just purchased a 2008 Kendon trailer for US$1,000.
It required some paint $30, cosmetic, three new tires $180, and a replacement ramp $65 (from Revzilla), safety chains $30, and some reflective stickers for the frame $60.
As noted by the others, check to ensure the bearings have been greased. My trailer came equipped with bearing buddies that allows one to inject grease using a simple grease gun-nipple arrangement.
My only other recommendation is that you stand the trailer up vertically, as it would be stored, and inspect the underside to ensure that their are no cracked tubes. I have seen some with this type of damage.
If you do not need the trailer to stand vertically for storage, consider this copy-cat brand: Trinity 3-Rail Motorcycle Trailer MT3
They are literally half the price and appear to be made just as well.
In case your interested, I know of a 2008 Kendon for sale near me in AR that is literally in mint condition, stored in a garage and needs nothing other than a new owner. The guy is asking $1,900; he has had it for sale for about a year.
