big olga Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hi, All, My Motorhome is due it,s M.O.T. The letter from the government run mot centre states that my Motorhome is a CAR "Big Olga" is 2.600kg with max 2.800kg. when I was booking the test I was told the van would go through lane 4 [for cars]. I mentioned in passing that the vechicle is a motorhome---- I was then told that I would have to use lane one[ hgv,s ] Question; as the V5 states that the vechicle is a motorhome why do they call it a CAR! Best Wishes Dave and "Big Olga" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Probably because it is a Class IV MOT which is the same as for cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camperdude Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 When I took my Citroen Relay SWB panel van conversion to the main dealer for it's first MOT, the tester went by the plated weight and issued a Class V11 MOT. The following year I went back for it's second MOT, and showed them the V5 Motor Caravan classification and pointed out it should come under Class 4 for the MOT. He shrugged his shoulders and said it doesn't make any difference as although there's a small difference in price between Class 4 and V11, they don't charge the full price for the MOT anyway.
