Doesn't need to look at the V5. At the bottom of the drivers side B post is a plate, that has all the relevant weights on it, and it is those that a Police Vehicle Inspector or a DVSA Inspector will look at.
And frankly I hope I never meet Danny7656 on the road!
My car doesn't have kerbweight, mass in service or whatever they refer to it as now on the door plate, that is why I suggested checking the V5.
It does however have, gross vehicle weight, gross train weight, and the maximum for each axle.
It's no wonder people get confused by all these figures when all the relevant bodies refer to the same thing but use a different name and then use different criteria to reach that figure.
I should know because I've spent the last six months reading loads of forums on the this and I'm still none the wiser :)
