VFW – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, the 400 and 440 range in Sport and Lux variants up to the 550, 530 to 990 kg unladen weight, 780 to 1,300 kg gross weight
This page gathers the VFW trailers the register could not assign to a named range – from the 400 range through the 440 to the 450 and 550 ranges, each with suffixes such as W, S, K, LQ, WL or Sport and Lux, for example 440 S SPORT and 440 (S) LUX. The three-digit base numbers form recognisable build sizes, to which different trim variants are attached.

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 530 to 990 kg, gross vehicle weights from 780 to 1,300 kg and widths from 2,040 to 2,160 mm.
With gross weights under 1.3 tonnes, the VFW trailers sit in the segment of small to mid-size car trailers, used for camping, garden work or carrying vehicles and equipment behind cars and light estates without a need for a heavier tow vehicle.
When buying used, check the chassis and drawbar for rust and distortion, the tow coupling and jockey wheel for smooth movement, the brake system for function, and the side panels and load floor for moisture damage. Spare parts for the axle, coupling and brake on VFW trailers, as with comparable smaller builders, come from the general trailer-accessories trade. It is also worth checking the tyres and rims for age, tread depth and load rating, the spare wheel or repair kit and on-board tools, and that the chassis number, type plate and vehicle documents all match.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
