particulate filter

I'd stick to the suggested limits for normal use, regularly exceeding the limit is likely to cause damage to the suspension. Don't forget that stopping distances will be greatly increased.

The other side of things being the legal aspect - exceeding the manufacturers all up weight is an offence that causes fiscal discomfort and a dent in your driving license. Enforcement officers in some areas are far keener than others and an overloaded Berlingo really does look it is dragging its rear on the ground ( I've done it before now ) and attracts attention.
