As the title I am looking to buy one to turn into a weekend camper.
I have seen some ''utility'' ones for sale quiet new, and with quiet low mileage, but some are saying they need a type 7 MOT, I get the idea, that they are heavier, and have uprated suspension.
I don't know if this type 7 MOT is able to do at a normal MOT station OR is it like plating, and you have to go to a special station,is it harder to pass,should I leave these ones alone, how can you tell which has to have the type 7 MOT
Also are they mainly the same vehicle, i.e utility and van/hi top, have they got the same gearbox,engine etc.
The only difference I can see is the utilities have lockers and side doors
Anyone can shed some light I would be grateful, thanks...
 
according to my mot mate ,since classed as dual purpose vehicle still class 4 mot,says any proposed changes havent materialised,he does all my customers mots,as class 4 on these vehicles,though have seen on here some having difficulty,the 130s etc use same engine ,gearbox axles etc ,but have h/d clutch and rear suspension and are just 110s with bit welded in chassis and body work is easily unbolted and changed
