with all the recent posts regarding weight and V5 discrepancies it will pay you to check yours...
there seems to be a lot of errors and you could be driving illegaly.
look at your tax disc....under 3500kg and it will be PLG.....over 3500kg and it will be PHGV
look at the vin plate....it will show the gross weight xxxxkg
C class anD panel vans will be under the bonnet..A class may be on a door post or footwell/step.
look for other plates..Alko, converter etc...they may show the true weight
look on your V5 (log book) for revenue weight...it may be blank but should show the registered weight.
whatever is on there is the recorded weight at DVLA regardless of what any plates say.
check that the V5 states 'MOTOR CARAVAN' under 'body type' if it doesnt then contact DVLA...its still registered as a commercial van.
if ANY of the above are incorrect or there is no revenue weight shown (if your plate weight AND tax disc (PLG orPHGV) tally then theres no need) then its advisable to contact DVLA asap !!!
if its wrong dont think it will be ok as if stopped by VOSA you may be in deep do-da !!!
