Registration Certificate (Log Book)

[mikeh6947]

Hi I’m a new member having last week bought a secondhand 18 plate T6 (manual gearbox) with a brand new full conversion done privately.
I’ve already insured it at the converted value as a Campervan with A. Flux and done the road tax.
At the point of sale the seller did the on-line DVLA registration change and the new Log Book arrived in the post today. I know there are already posts regarding logbooks but some refer to what you used to be able to do versus what you can do now etc so I thought it best to start a new thread with my questions.
1. The Euro status/Real driving emissions lines are blank. Is there any consequence of any kind? Can it be changed to show as Euro 6 ?
2. Body type is Van/Side Windows. Should I send it back asking for it to be changed? Can it be Campervan or does it have to be Motor Caravan or are there other options? Do I need to send evidence ?
3. Number of seats says 3. Presumably I should send it back and ask for it to be changed to 5. Again do I need to include a covering letter or photo evidence?
Are changes free?

Hi Mike - welcome to the forum.

(1) Can't answer that.
(2) Campervan isn't a body type. Unless you've got a high-top (amongst other criteria), you won't get it changed to Motor Caravan, so you're stuck with Van with Windows. That's no biggie though.
(3) If you're only changing the number of seats, just complete the relevant form - you shouldn't require any evidence. If you've got multiple changes, then send pics as evidence.

This info is still relevant and contemporary...

Speed limits/ DVLA / Motor Caravan / Dual Purpose / N1 and all that malarkey.

Much discussion has taken place over the years regarding the status of vans & conversions with regard to speed limits/tax/insurance etc. There's a wealth of info on the forum - particularly this thread - but it's scattered and fragmented around the forum. So I thought I'd bring it all together...

Mine does not say euro type - but check via:

HPI | Euro Emission Standards, Euro 6 Diesel Emissions Standards Explained

Euro Emission Standards describe the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in the EU. We cover the Euro emissions standards Euro 1 – 6 that have been introduced so far and also included is a free online tool to check the Euro emissions rating of a vehicle.

www.hpi.co.uk

Also just got euro 6 for Germany, France and Belgium no problem.

Changing to more seats was straight forward as Bav & Salty Spuds says.

Mine is already a motor caravan so can’t advise (but is a conversation).
