MOT 7.5t Motor Caravan? Erm...

It's nothing to do with body type i.e motorcaravan. It's a weight thing, done some reading seems to be pretty straight forward. They just do the weights and rewrite the plate.

yes but why would they give a monkeys about the weight unless you specifically said it had a new body... TMI dude TMI....

There's absolutely nothing dodgy about that..
If you are worried that you have "overbuilt" the thing then just take it to a public weighbridge no one needs to know any more than that.

I'm not worried I've over built it lol, I want the plate to be correct with the right axle weights. 100% legit.

Plus if I was in an accident and someone died and it came out I'd changed the body and not taken the correct steps.... I'd go to jail.

You are getting yourself into a confused state .
Is your vehicle listed as a motorcaravan in the V5 ?
Is it over 3500kg ?
If yes to both it is then tested as a moho as class 4 test . It will be taxation class PHGV . This does not mean it has a hgv test . The vin plate (metal or sticker) will have gross weight and axle weights , these have no relevance to the test , or whether you have modded the body , as they are max allowable weights . which you should be under , but that is a different matter to test . (You should not have a ministry plate (VTG 6) , orange plastic laminated ) as they are only for Goods vehicles .)
You only need to book a class 4 test , done by a normal test station , not a ATF which is with a DVSA examiner and only applicable to HGV , HGV trailers and Busses .
You only need to mention size to find out if they can fit it in to their test bay .
My RV was 11.9 ton and 39ft long and 2.55 wide. but was just taken to a Local council test centre for car MOT , but on the big rollers , and lift .

Yeah ive had a phone call today to confirm everything you've just said. It does have a ministry plate in it but is from before it was changed to a MH. So I'm all good. 29th of Nov is the date ?

You best take that out as it shouldn't be displaying it , and will prevent any more confusion at any point in the future MANGOFORTH
