It would help if you could post a photo of the weight sticker or at least give us exactly the full wording on the sticker.
The very fact that the MIRO is shown suggests that it's not the statutory weight plate, because MIRO has no place on that. If the caravan was built after 2014 there should be another (statutory) plate somewhere else on the caravan (usually in the front locker) and it would be interesting to know what that says.

Ah this is interesting. According to this site https://www.caravanguard.co.uk/news/2021-adria-altea-tyne-caravan-25025/
the weight is upgradable to 1800kg. So I'm thinking that this sticker indicates the increased weight capacity.
Put it this way, I'm saving myself £150 and I'm showing the police that sticker, if needed.

That's the NCC label, not the official weight plate. It doesn't comply with the requirements of Construction and Use regulations, but only serves to inform for marketing purposes. Whether it accepted by the police or other authorities is purely discretionary.

Yup, something like that. Very similar info. However nowhere does it specifically say MTPLM, which I would have expected it to do so.
Which is why I'm doubting it's the proper one. Think I'll spend some time hunting around the van, although you would expect it to be obvious.
