Well,no ours' had been "re-plated" before we bought it,presumably by the previous owner or at the time of ordering from new(as the additional 3.85t plate carried the Trigano name..)
The problem we had(and it did turn out to be a helluva headache!),was that although the vehicle had the plate showing the 3.85t,the V5 document only showed it being 3.5t! and dvla refused to alter the log book,until I produced the paperwork to back up the re-plate'(..paperwork,we weren't in possesion of! )
..So,there followed numerous letters/photgraphs/phone calls/visits to local DVLA & VOSA offices etc!?!...To cut a (very!)long story short,I ended up contacting Trigano in France and they sent me over a certificate within the week(..no charge,as I suppose it was really a replacement document)..
But of cause as you will be handling the process yourself,then you will be issued with the documents from the off!..
Edit: Just to add dvla accepted the Trigano certificate,changed the V5 to 3.85t and then refunded some road tax! ..as 3.85t is classed as Private HGV and is only £165

Some additional points:
I informed my insurance company (Safeguard)and it was no extra cost.
I also informed the AA,as we have recovery and they didn't have a problem with it being "rated" higher..
There are some possible speed limit changes,which are worth keeping an eye on.
(..I think it's 50 instead of 60,on single and 60 instead of 70 on dual carriage ways?)
..But (and again I think),this is based on an unladen weight over 3.050t,which I and I expect you, were over anyway...?
I should check these figures though,don't take them as gospel...
And I'm not sure I'm really allowed in the outside lane of the motoway..?
