Class 7 MoT tests

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sharpshooter:
It might be a class 7 if it has more than 7 seats??? Mines a T/C so it only has 2. This seems more likely. :)

dew1911:
Could be a different class for the number of seats - I know any with more than 9 don't get 3 years free, but class wise I know nothing (as usual)

Nope, just the 2 seats - it's a 110 Hard Top HD (heavy duty), which means vented discs front, discs rear, uprated suspension and lord knows whatever else. According to LR, a 'standard' 110 HT weighs 1920kgs, and the HD weighs 1935.

TEMPL4R:
You won't get away with a Class 4, it is the weight on the vehicle plate that we read. The main difference is the tyre load rating is included in the Test.

A Class 5 is for Buses, so you won't get one of those.

It doesn't matter how many seats you have, as long as it is a Passenger Carrying Vehicle, they are all Class 4. If it won't fit on a Ramp or Pit at a VTS, then it goes to a Testing Station, ( a stretch Limo or a Double Decker Bus converted into a Camper, for instance.)

Taking anything off the vehicle only reduces the vehicles weight, not the Plated weight.

I hope that helps.

Litch:
Rather than argue the case I used to get a cass-7 MOT for my 101, saved any arguments if there was a problem later.
Used my local garage and as far as I could tell the test was exactly the same (I think the biggest headache for stations is having a lift strong enough for the larger vehicles and a bay tall enough when the vehicle is raised on the lift).
