Expert Reply:
Trailer brake magnets will eventually wear out since they grab to the drum as the wheel is turning but they don't have a set lifespan. Typically most of the time they last between 20 and 25 thousand miles. As long as they are working and don't look worn out with windings showing through you are fine.
