So can I and the money I did not pay out for having it parked on the drive has just filled the fuel so the next few days travelling are free. Load's of mugs on here have their vans SORN, all of whom you have been happy to ask advice and help from

I used to think that. In this day n age it take bout 5 mins to re tax on tinternet. The amount of money i have left in the DVLA coffers through NOT SORNing embarrasses me.

All Motorhomes are class 4. Providing they have access for your size van any MOT station should be able to do vans upto 3500kg.

Vehicle Class M1 on your V5 (Motorcaravan), means a Class 4 test. Our is plated at 6850Kgs, and is also a Class 4.

Cheers,

Jock.

Mines 3500 but been uprated to 3650 (or is it 3850) Can a "normal" MOT station do it?

More likely to be plated at 3850Kgs Bob. They can do it if their ramps have the weight capacity, and the height clearance.

Due to the weight and length, I have to take ours (as I did the previous MH), to an MOT Station with a pit. The one on our doorstep is undergoing a revamp to renew his licence. If he has not completed in time, I'll have to go to the DVSA Testing Station at either P/boro or Boston........................if I can get an appointment.

Cheers,

Jock.

I am lucky where I get the car MOT'd cant do it as Van is too high. but five minutes, there is a local garage that does vans, campers and smaller /little larger vehicles if that makes sense. no buses or trucks.

Have you tried Peterborough Motorhomes (Hollis Autotech) at Frognall?

 

[JockandRita]

Have you tried Peterborough Motorhomes (Hollis Autotech) at Frognall?

They used to be Hollis & Brown, again, right on my doorstep. Neil uses the same MOT Station for his customers as I do, ie, MC Motors, Maxey, who are undergoing the revamp, but thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,

Jock.

Why not ring one or two of the hire places or other business who have larger vehicles and see where they have theirs done as the same place will likely be able to do your MH too (class 4).

As JockandRita says it depends on their ramp & licence. The local commercial centre I have mine serviced at don't have a licence for MOT's on the pit only for the ramp which is 3500kg.
