Miller – other models: the collective page of trailers outside the named ranges, V 1301 and XM971, 6,510 to 8,620 kg unladen weight, 11,350 to 15,018 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Miller trailers the register could not assign to a named range – with two listed versions this amounts to the whole known programme of the brand. The types V 1301 and XM971 carry different naming systems, with no shared range or size logic derivable from them. As with many small trailer brands, the values are drawn from registration data, in which each model is listed individually with its technical figures.

The register lists here 2 versions with unladen weights from 6,510 to 8,620 kg, gross weights from 11,350 to 15,018 kg, lengths from 9,700 to 10,900 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,480 mm.
With gross weights from 11.35 to just over 15 tonnes, both versions fall into the heavy trailer class above ten tonnes, typical of multi-axle tandem or tridem trailers in commercial heavy-duty transport; the closely matched widths against clearly different weights point to differing axle counts at a similar body width. In everyday use, such combinations are typically run as part of a fleet rather than as a single unit, coupled to whichever tractor unit is available on a given job.
On a used example in this weight class, axle, brake system and frame condition matter, along with the function of brake valves and air lines, corrosion on load-bearing parts, and tyre and rim condition. Parts for such a small brand usually run through independent commercial-vehicle workshops rather than a maker's own network.

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.
