(Home) DVLA. SVA. Axle weights.

ive recently bought a lightace 2.0 td registered in dec 1991 can anyone tell me the front & rear axle weight and also max engine & vehicle speed so i can fill in the S V A form - (#516) mitch, 12 Jul 01

The dealer gave me a copy of the Jap de-registration document which had on it
970kg on front axle, 650kg on rear, 1620kg overall. These figures are for a '91 TD Auto 4WD/L4 empty. There was a fully laden figure as well. I don't recall any speeds. The weight will vary a bit depending on what transmission options are fitted. Hope this helps. - (#520) Dave Mason, 12 Jul 01

I wonder why you need to SVA the car if it is already registered ? If you mean registered and then de-registered in Japan, then following the SVA test here, to register the vehicle you don't actually need to fill in all parts of the form. I also know from experience that it is the devil of a job getting a copy of the de-registration document from the DVLA (they are all held on microfilm) - (#528) Bill Jones, 13 Jul 01
