Hi,,can someone put me straight on this one,,I've got a Range Rover Sport & it's been tested as class 4,,,I've been told off someone that these are supposed to be class 7 because it's gross weight is 3275kg but I thought that the 3000kg max for class 4 only counted for commercial vehicles.

Goods vehicles are class 7 if they are between 3000 & 3500kg.

The weight limit is only for goods vehicles

If it comes in loaded then a standard class 4 lift may not be up to the job.

There was a specific Special Notice a few years back, Number 5 -2009, it referred to dual purpose vehicles such as the Navara etc with a GVW over 3000 but not exceeding 3500 & where the unladen weight is unknown should be tested as Class 4. Nothing has changed. The Range Rover doesn't have goods carrying capacity as such, unlike the Navara type which has a dedicated load compartment, so it's Class 4.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !
