Hi due to my wife being wheelchair bound I bought a Iveco with disabled rear lift the vehicle class 4
and weighs 5200 kg I live in south west Scotland and cannot find a place for a mot the gov run mot stations have now stopped doing class 4 mots 5000 kg is the biggest lift I can find and up to now have not been able to find a workshop with pit with class 4 at the moment my best option seems to remove the lift as to get under 5000kg any input would be welcome

I think @mitzimad mean 'class 7'

Surely any garage that has the facility/ability to test class 7 can do your MH ? Makes no difference to them that you are class 4 ?

They have to be "authorised" to do class 4.

Is 5200 the actual Wright or the MAM or gross as stated on the plate & V5?

Hi 5200kg is the actual weight which is well below plated weight on taking gas bottles out (2) tools & cloths etc. I have I have got the weight down to 5000kg so by removing the
rear hydraulic lift should get the vehicle below 5000 kg garage lift capacity don't really want to do that but its looking like my best option

Have you tried BT Fleet http://www.btfleet.com/home.aspx they may be able to do it if there is a workshop near enough to you.

Both my sons are testers, both said the tester that can do class 7 can do class 4.
So why not use a commercial test station?
They suggested OP to ring DVSA (VOSA) for their way to deal with the problem

Hi all many thanks for your replies I normally use VOSA testing stations but according to VOSA when I tried to book a test they no longer do Class 4
