If he bought it from a dealer as a 3850kg vehicle, take it back to them as they have to sort it out and if they don't he can reject it as not fit for purpose

They are all 3850 unless a previous owner had it changed to 3500 if of coarse that is possible. If that is the case it would be useless until re plated to 3850.

Gee wizz whole 134 kg of payload and the van is probably at least 100 kg over base weight so as long as no passengers and nothing else loaded in the van it might be legal. Even at 3850 it will be tight to run legally.

Should have 484kg payload. The kerb weight is 3366kg but that includes awning,leasure battery,11kg gas bottle, solar panel,tele, 75kg for driver, 20lt water , electric lead.

Far too low IMO especial when most vans come out of the factory overweight.

Thanks all we have now found the certificate of compliance from alko which says it is 3850 appears that the really clever dealership registered it wrongly with DVLA and now a pain in the but to put it right

We travel light (ex caravaners) so plenty of spare capacity for us. But I can see how people get caught out, they carry loads of gear that never gets used.

I would have thought that was their responsibility to rectify. Good look to your friends , a great van and I am sure they will love it.

Isn’t this down to the Dealer to sort or did they ask for it to be registered as 3500 in the first place.
