I couldn't agree more.
Having it tested as something it isn,t, is madness.
Im not sure that you can even get an HGV test done if it isn't registered as an HGV.
I also think that If you had an accident and then produced the wrong type of test certificate, the insurance company would be delighted.
Having the vehicle tested as an HGV creates lots of problems for the continental imported vehicle.
For example the HGV test insist on new lenses on the lights whereas the class 4 test will accept stick on beam deflectors.
The HGV test insist on the speedo / Tacho being in MPH and the numbers must be illuminated whereas the class 4 test will accept a speedo in KMH with a stick on overlay.
And on it goes.
The HGV test is the wrong test and should be avoided.
If it was required then the ministry would insist on it
