Looking for a new 'Tug' and fell in love with the Nissan Qashqai +2 4WD.  excellent solo and what looked like a promissing tow-car........ Until, I read the max tow limit is only 1400Kg.  The Kirbweight is capable of providing a safe match for my Pegasus 2 Verona but the MTPLM of my van is 1469Kg.   It has been suggetsed that the reason for the low limit is due to concerns regarding potential overheating.  So, what are the legal implications, especially as the Caravan Club tested one with a van weighing 1426 (ish)  Kg?
