Hi all, 1st post of many I hope..... Been lurking a while..
I bought our first van a few weeks ago and it seems it's been replated to 3850kgs even though built to 3500kgs spec. The log book I was given stated permissible mass (F.1) of 3500. I've just received the log book in my own name and (F.1) is now 3850. I'm guessing a CVRT during the previous ownership spotted the 3850kgs and was picked up in the change of ownership.
I have only a B license.
What are my options here? Can I drive the van on my B license once the weight doesn't actually go over the 3500kgs or am I illegal as the van's permissible mass/GVW is over the 3500kgs?
Any help appreciated....
