Correct answer
Yes, when its MAM exceeds 750 kg.
When its maximum authorised mass exceeds 750 kg. Compulsory insurance rules exempt trailers and semi-trailers whose MAM does not exceed 750 kg from having their own insurance. This does not mean the combination may travel uninsured: the towing vehicle must retain its required insurance and the combination’s cover should be checked with the insurer. The question concerns the semi-trailer’s own compulsory liability insurance, rather than optional damage cover.
