Boat trailers

I've been thinking (No it doesn't hurt alot haha) Is there a way to check our boat trailers for rust? My trailer is 8 years old and I'm sure it will need replacing soon, but how can one check it to see if it my break on us while running down the road befor it happens? Can you tap around it listening for different sounds that might indicate thin places? For those of you that have been boating for years were have your trailers broken at? (In the middle, the rear....) I've just been thinking about this a lot here of late, because my trailer IS 8 years old, and I've read that they normally last about 4 years, for my trailstar trailer. Thanks for the help!!
