Hi every one,

I have been told by my regular MOT engineer he will not be able to do my RR next year as any vehicle over three tons will have to go to a HGV center. Is any one else aware of this?

Regards Ron

Don't the old ones weigh 2.7 and new ones around 2.4?

Not sure he seems to think it is over 3 tons

Regards Ron

any thing 3001 - 3500 kg is class 7 and any up to 3000 is classs 4 a few off the double cabs are over 3t but classed as duel purpose vehicles and can be tested as class 4 for now but will be changing to goods carring and will raise to class 7 soon

They are 2.7 tonnes wet so don't make 3 even with full tank of fuel 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Firstly - as everyone says - the range rover isnt 3t

Secondly - the Range Rover is treated as a normal car (just check your log book for its class)

Thirdly - there is a different set of regs for none commercial vehicles over 3t...this applies to motorhomes etc, i know this because we have just had ours MOT'd

Finally if he doesnt know the difference...go elsewhere! Mike

ooh. Some bodies tired but he is right, class 4 is normal car, van and pickup, class 7 is up to and including 3.5 tonnes and in some cases above that but used for personal use such as larger motor homes and van derived camper conversions.
As Mile says, time to find an inspector who knows what he is on about, he would have had to know the correct weight to calculate brake efficiency as he shouldn't be using the rolling road  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

I was turned away when after a 4 wheel alignment. The guy said it went "well over" 3 ton weight limit. Bull***t. I went round the corner and they did it while I waited. They are either not interested in the work or shouldn't be in charge of your car. Walk away. MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys
