Posted on 05/07/2022 21:35 by AndyJFMystery solved I think. That sticker by the door IS the official weight plate, but the higher number apparently is the maximum axle weight. If you buy an upgrade, you get a replacement sticker to go over the top, on which I presume both weights will be 1800kg.
Although it doesn't say so, the lower weight is the MTPLM.
Oh well, I'm not about to fork out £150 for a sticker, so I'll just be careful how I load up the van.

Based on the information that you have supplied your assumption seems to be correct. Some manufacturers have combined the statutory plate with the NCC label and that would appear to be the case here too. However, the plate (or sticker) should also show the maximum noseweight (denoted as axle 0), the type approval number and the VIN.

Oh believe me I've scoured the whole van and not discovered anything else.
Could be embarrassing if plod stops me and says, where's your compliance sticker, and that one on the door is not it.
Errrr. dunno officer, it's been well hidden, you'll need a forensics team to find it. :)

As I mentioned before, some manufacturers, mainly foreign ones, have started to combine the NCC label with the compliance sticker. If the sticker shows the VIN, the EU type approval number, and all weight limits including noseweight and axle limits then you know you've found the compliance sticker.
