Does this state it’s 3500kg there fire can drive on a car licence

[PeterCarole29]

The logbook does not state any weight
The garage advertised it as being able to drive on a car licence
I will have to weigh the camper but what sense can you make of the plates on the door pillar
Thankyou in afvance

 

[David and Sally]

Yes. 3500kg so car licence and can tow 2000kg. (5500 - 3500kg) the other two numbers are the maximum weights on the front and rear axles.

 

[Guigsy]

Yes...

Assuming that is the most up to date VIN plate. The V5 will confirm what it's currently registered as.

And provided you keep within both the axle limits and within 3500kg total. Lots of vans are plated at 3500kg, but they've got an unrealisticly tiny payload capacity which makes them pretty much impractical to use legally. However, if that is a 2001 van, you're more likely to be ok... they were built lighter back then.

Not all V5's show the vehicle weight. Mine is 3400kg and is nowhere to be found on my V5.

According to the plate you can drive this on a car licence whatever your age. The 5500kg figure is the maximum weight all up when towing a trailer i.e you can tow a trailer up to 2000kg.

As earlier posts have suggested this tells you nothing about how much load capacity you have for all the clutter we carry not to mention persons, diesel, gas bottles, water etc.

Sorry. You beat me to it and I did not see your reply before posting.

[PeterCarole29]

Thanks for all your speedy replies
I panicked when I saw the log book that says nothing at all just chases number and reg
It says first registered 2013 and first registered in uk 2013

 

[Gellyneck]

The V5 will confirm what it's currently registered as.

OP says "logbook" by which I would guess they mean V5 doesn't state a weight so looks like they will have to go with the latest plate.

Question is, are these the original manufacturer or convertors plates?

Edit: just noticed they appear to be the convertors plates.

Is there not an entry for the line 'Revenue Weight'? If so that is based on Mx Permissble Mass and DVLA are too lazy to fill in both.

What VED (road tax) has been paid, as this is based on Revenue Weight, and therefore Max Permissible Mass?

 

[Boldly]

Just curious. If the van only weighs say 3000kg can it tow 2500kg?

There will be a manufacturers limit on tow capacity. Maybe the base vehicle. Good question though.

Yes as long as the towbar specs are still sufficient

 

[ceejayt]

So, someone put me straight here please…

IF my C1 didn’t get renewed next year then clearly restricted to 3.5t. IF (heaven forbid) decided to go for a fifth wheel and pick up what weight restriction on standard licence??

Thanks in advance

Many vehicles can tow heavier than they are. A Defender 90 weighs about 2000, but can legally tow 3500

Revenue weight should show on the DVLA site for checking tax

As long as you still have B+E then 3500kg for tow car and same again for trailer caravan so should be fine

Road tax was £345 PLG

No.it is not as simple as that. MTW varies according to vehicle weight.

As said as long as you have b+e

 

[Jev88]

Have you plugged the reg into an MOT checker app? Can do for you if you like and often states a weight.

 

[Pausim]

That means the revenue weight is less than 3500kg and it can be driven on a B licence.

Is E retained automatically or does it go if C1 goes?

yes thats the total weight

Wasn't it gifted to everyone recently?

So not linked to C1 or the grandfathering.
