110 van mot

andrew j · Mar 22, 2013

Redhand , Trewey, so if i buy a yank tank camper weighing 6500kg's it can be a class 4 (car mot) but a 110 weighing less than 2000 kgs come's in at a class 7 (commercial mot) just don't make sense , and seems daft to some (me).

Yep it's about type of use not size of vehicle.. Beasties mate has just bought a London Routemaster double decker bus, that he's gonna use as a mobile bar It's taxed as a PLG and he can drive it on his normal car licence.

baffling , so in "theory" you could down rate the springs bringing it in to a lower weight limit thus allowing a class 4 mot ?

Don't even have to do that. just change the weights on the plating, & inform DVLA of new plating weight. job done. but if ya exceed those weights ya fooked for overloading..

Is it fook it's a smidge over 1400kg empty. with you and a tank of fuel plus tools etc it might reach 1640KG but no way it'll reach 2640Kg.

Some years ago I set up an AEC Regent 5 double decker bus for MoT.

Nine and a half litre straight six lump. Used as an advertising "tool" for the Rhondda Heritage Park, and not for carrying passengers it was class 5.
Filled the garage with smoke when I started it, but somehow it passed the emissions test too.

It was built in 1963 so classed as a "classic" vehicle and therefore tax exempt.

Provided fewer than 16 non-paying passengers were on board I was able to drive it on an ordinary driving licence.

Special build for Rhondda Transport, seven foot six wide instead of eight feet and a close ratio gearbox especially for the narrow, hilly roads in the valleys.

On a humerous note, I did once have a police escort up through the Rhondda Valley, but then the mayor, councillors and the council mace were on board.

Mate had an EYMS Beverley Bar bus. Nope not a mobile bar this time. Baverley Bar is the gateway into beverley town/village and the roofs and upper decks had to be sloped and domed to allow the bus to fit thru the gateway.
