Horsebox weighing

[Louby]

Ive decided to sell my horsebox and am going to have it weighed incase I get any interest. My friend reccons they weigh them when they are plated/mot'd?? Mines going next week so does anyone know if this is true? It would save me a trip to the weighbridge.

Yes they do weigh them, but mine weighed about 200 kilos more on the plating one than it did on the weighbridge (although maybe I had loads more stuff on board?!).

The weight is on a computer printout sheet which they give you at the end so don't throw that bit away!

Thanks, thats great.

Yes its on the brake test report. Remember thoiugh that the weight will include the driver as he/she has to be in cab for brake test.

Its not very accurate as they do it one axle at a time. I took a lorry and it had to be retested. The second time when it had less fuel in it it weighed 300kg more.
