Hi all.
Sorry fir all the questions but there appears to be a lot of knowledgable people on here so I will ask :cheer:
I understand about Mam, miro, mtplm and gtw however there is something that I have heard and want to clarify.
Last week I nearly bought an 06 Ford galaxy the one with the VW engine.
I asked the seller to send me a pic of the vin plate.
The Mam was 2510kg the gtw was 4000kg leaving 1490kg. My van is 1500kg so 10 kg to heavy.
My insurance is void if I go over gtw.
I read that the plated weights only count for B licences and for B+E they will weigh the vehicles. Is that correct as it would be hard to weigh something if it was smashed to bits and surely Vosa would just look at the plates?
I ended up not buying it for this reason.
It just seems crazy that my Passat could legally to 300kg more legally.
