mot class 5 or 7
« on: February 24, 2004, 20:05:55 »
I recently mot'd my 1984 110 truck cab, and when i took it to the test station, they told me it had to be tested as a lgv(or class 7 like a transit). This was because the gross vehicle weight on the log book says 3500kg. Could anyone with a similar vehicle let me know if they have had the same problem, or what the gvw of their landy is please. :D

My 90 T/c says 3499kg for the "revenue weight", and AFAIK I've just got a standard MoT certificate.

I'd take it somewhere else!!!

Yes same here picked my mates brain, he says the same also because it is for private use also should make it a normal MOT

Sounds like someone don't mot many land rovers
