Correct answer
16 tonnes.
16 tonnes for a motor vehicle’s tandem axle with 1.25 m spacing. The regulatory interval is at least 1.00 m and below 1.30 m; exactly 1.00 m is included. The next interval includes 1.30 m and ends below 1.80 m: its general limit is 18 tonnes, with 19 tonnes allowed when the specific tyre, suspension and axle-mass conditions are met. These are tandem-axle mass limits, distinct from the vehicle’s total MAM; technical and documentary limits also apply.
