muddyjames:
I cant say if it failed or passed I am affraid!

I arrived to be told that it doesnt need an mot yet. I argued it did as it is 1 month away from its registration date. Garage toldme being an 07 plate it doesnt need it yet. They miss read my number plate. It is L507 they saw the 5 as an S :lol:

Then they asked what its max laden weight was. I had no idea so they looked at the plate under the bonnett and found it to be 3020kg. the max weight they are allowed to test is 3000kg  :doh: so I am off to a Vauxhall dealer on Monday lunchtime who can do class 7 vehicles! Ah well. What ya get for buying a commercial vehicle really. :lol:

Yoshi:

Nope, mines a transit @ 3200 kg  ;) the limit is 3000kg  ;)

Think there is a length restriction too, somewhere around 4 metres I think

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/Mot/DG_4022514  class 7 is goods vehicles 3000kg to 3500kg DGW?

muddyjames:
