Messager – further models: the collector page for trailers outside the named series, with M 385, M 475, SP 550 and Vagebonde V375, 566 to 988 kg unladen weight, 775 to 1,190 kg gross weight
This page brings together the Messager trailers that the register does not assign to a named series. The types M 385, M 385 L, M 475, P 3909, SP 550 and V 375 carry letter-and-number codes, alongside a model named Vagebonde V375. As with many smaller trailer brands, the range is built from registration data in which each model is listed individually with its own technical values.

The register lists 8 versions here with unladen weights from 566 to 988 kg, gross weights from 775 to 1,190 kg and widths from 2,060 to 2,300 mm.
With gross weights from 775 to just under 1,190 kg, the range sits at the boundary between the unbraked and braked trailer class; above a gross weight of 750 kg European registration rules require an overrun brake, so most of the range falls into the braked class. For registration behind a car, besides the trailer's own gross weight, the towing vehicle's permitted towing capacity is also decisive, since that sets the real limit for the load carried.
When buying used, the main points are the condition of the axle and wheel bearings, the operation of the overrun brake and linkage, corrosion on the frame and drawbar, and the condition of the lights, connector, tyres and wheels. Parts for such small brands usually come through independent trailer workshops rather than a manufacturer network.
