Correct answer
10 Tonnes.
The general limit for each single non-driven trailer axle is 10 tonnes, under Annex IX of the General Vehicle Regulations. This is a limit per axle, distinct from the general 18-tonne maximum mass of the complete two-axle trailer. The vehicle’s authorised technical limits and other applicable combination limits must also be observed; adding axle limits does not justify any total mass.
