As I said above if you weigh the axles as they are the weights are probably somewhere near,what you put down for axle weights is the DGW and and this should not be exceeded.
It would be interesting to put one on an ATL brake tester and see what the axles actually weigh.

These numbers are up to us at the end of the day and if we wanted to put 550/550/1100 we could. If a car is reaching the 450/450 range its probably been built to cope with a lot more anyway. Cheers Stot

Mine came in at a very similar weight to Stot's.
Here's the test sheet from my IVA. This is from my first attempt that failed due to dodgy brakes  Sadly I didn't get a copy of this when I passed:

Looks like an ATL brake tester was used as the kerb weight and unladen axle weights are on the sheet,as I posted the weights of 450/450 are good figures and leave plenty of room for extra weight.
Its working against you if the brake readings are low,it can be worked out from weights and brake force easily. You have the MAC cert so its all handy for others to know. If you used 550/550 -1100 kg you would need a total service brake force of approx 640 kg to give 58% rate to pass.

To be fair I failed because there were a couple of problems with my brakes
 Once I fixed those it passed easily enough.

You passed !! One of these days I will be able to say the same
 Like I said its good for others to see what can and will happen.
