Fool in a Ford

[rjst22]

Hello!
I recently bought a campervan that turned out to be too heavy to drive on a 3.5tn (B) licence.
I'm here to share my experience, perhaps get some advice, and hopefully even sell the van.

What age are you? could you apply for the C licence to be returned?

As for selling it, give us a clue or two.

 

[barryd]

Yes more info required. Could it be downplated?

 

[wildebus]

could also get it downplated maybe if it is set at just over 3500? downplating vans (especially commericials) is very common due to the license restrictions.

 

[r4dent]

a) Was it a private sale or from a dealer? If a dealer you may have a case against them.
b) Are you over 70 or have an illness (e.g. diabetes) which may make getting a suitable licence more difficult
c) the 3.5t limit is the MGW of the van, check what the payload would be before downplating.
