    I am aware of the unladen weight being difficult to obtain , Toyota have never provided me with the info for latest Hilux and ignore the issue. Referring only to kerb weight as you suggest, which is 2090kg for the InvincibleX.

    So when you get a ticket from a speed camera (which has taken the N1 class from the DVLA database) how do you provide the DPV data to the authorities to defend the speeding fine?

     

    Yeah, now that's a good question! 🙂 But given the kerb weight you only need subtract the weight of driver and fuel and you're well under. Having said that, i've never had a ticket for traversing speed camera areas at 70mph in my Hilux (A55 North Wales for example, quite frequently).

    So 86inch where on the v5 is dual purpose vehicle identified ?

    It doesn't. There isn't a classification on the V5 as Dual-Purpose vehicle. Which is why they can be M1 or N1 (which defines the taxation class only). 

    What constitutes a DPV can be seen on "The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986" document.

    If your vehicle exhibits the features of a DPV then the upper (default) speed limits apply for it. Simples!

    Although what's definitely NOT simple is obtaining the manufacturers Unladen Weight figures (that must include all factory fitted options). Note that the manufacturers usually give Kerb weight, not Unladen Weight. So it can be a minefield.

    For all practical purposes, most dual cab pickups (and Defender 110 station wagons & double cabs) will be DPVs.

    Most later pickups are classed as commercial and first registered N1 on the V5. This determines road tax rate at £265 BUT also that commercial vehicle speed limits apply.

    If you find any registered as M1 (PLG) then higher road tax applies and normal speed limits.

    You're correct in that commercially registered equals £265/year tax, but thats nothing to do with the speed limits. The default limits of commercial vehicles applies - 60mps on a motorway, 50mph on A-road etc.... UNLESS the vehicle is classed as a "Dual-Purpose Vehicle" and there are strict rules around this. IF you do have a Dual-Purpose Vehicle then the normal speed limits apply.

    See this statement from the government website: - 

    "A dual purpose vehicle is a vehicle constructed or adapted for the carriage both of passengers and of goods and designed to weigh no more than 2,040 kg when unladen, and is either:

    constructed or adapted so that the driving power of the engine is, or can be selected to be, transmitted to all wheels of the vehicle
    or

    permanently fitted with a rigid roof, at least one row of transverse passenger seats to the rear of the driver’s seat and will have side and rear windows - there must also be a minimum ratio between the size of passenger and stowage areas
    See The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (Part 1 Regulation 3) for the full definition."

    Note the Unladen Weight rule - and that this is not the kerbweight is one of the key defining criteria. Alot of high-spec pickups will be over this. The basic ones won't be.
