Revenue Rate

[Barclaybasher]

My Mobilvetta has a Revenue Rate of 3850.

There are no weights at all on the builders (Mobilvetta) plate but the vin plate says 3500.

Disregarding payload can I or anyone else legally drive it without a C1 ?

Same with mine, you need to go with what is on the V5, mine doesn't have a new plate from when manufactured but V5 states 3850. This is what is used for taxation etc

So believe you need the c1, but might be corrected by others that know more

What does it actually weigh when loaded for touring? If it is under 3500Kg you could apply to down-rate it.

Not weighed it - might have to

I've sent V5 to DVLA with photo of vin plate asking to downrate it - no reply yet

Noticed the few vans like mine listed for sale over the time I've had (3 years) have all been 3500kg or less

Do you want to pay the extra tax for PLG(complex rules) under 3500k compared with flat rate of £165 for current PHG, just in case somebody with no C1 wants to drive it?

In Poland now with my 32 year old son and would have shared the driving and saves me having to renew my C1 next year.

I still have the Eriba and might sell the Mobilvetta. Selling a 3500kg MH is easier.

DVLA need a certificate from a weighbridge. The original VIN plate will show the weight when the chassis left the factory. The converter may have uprated it.

I was thinking that the original converters weight was less than 3500 and an owner uprated it for payload and DVLA might just 'rubber stamp' the V5 - afterall it's my responsibility to keep the weight to 3500...

Which is why they need to see proof from a weighbridge the vehicle is under 3500. They won't take your word for it if the V5 currently says 3850.
