Correct answer
12 tonnes.
12 tonnes for the specified motor-vehicle tandem axle. The table distinguishes it from trailer and semi-trailer tandem axles: below 1.00 m spacing, their limit is 11 tonnes. The former 11.5-tonne figure must not be used as a current universal tandem-axle limit without specifying vehicle type. Also observe applicable technical and documentary limits, axle limits and the authorised total mass.
