it goes on percentage how much was you over ?
Depends who gets you ,don’t forget its not just vosa ,the police and trading standards all view overloading differently,trading standards may fine you a large sum in the thousands, where vosa could be small or take action against an o licence,who knows what the police do sometimes they give points where smaller vehicles are concerned.
Please lose some lard 
the husband may catch you

Mate of mine got caught at Carlisle 400kg over in his Luton transit. He got a strongly worded letter and a black mark against him and the vehicle in VOSA’s database but no fine. He had not had any previous instances of being done for overloading or unroadworthiness.
had one pulled in Ross on Wye about 15 years ago 3tonne “ish” overweight big big ■■■… month later had phone call from dept of transport to say weighbridge had not been calibrated so no further action could be taken…

Thanks for link.
I’m guessing the bloke that told my TM that he was fined £2000 for going 20 mins over his driving hours was exagerating
My driver was pulled on a friday night … went and took some steel bar off it on the saturday …funny thing was they pulled a coach in when we were there and the coach was overweight on the steer axle so they had em all off and moved all the passengers about until driver got it legal to go …
Had an incident just this afternoon, one of our ground workers was pulled by vosa on the M57 in his long wheelbase crafter, 690 kg’s over and a £200 fine payable within in 28 days, he was told anymore “would have been an appearance in court, do not pass go and do not collect £200”.
I had to drive over in a van and bring back the excess tools and equipment.

That’s a lot, how the hell did you manage that? Builders and groundworks gangs are notorious for overloading 3.5t tippers. They’re still stupid enough to believe “it carries 1.5t”…

The van weighs 2900kgs alone, it is ply lined and shelved with 18mm plywood, so only has a useful carrying capacity of circa 600kgs, they lay gas mains for a living, so a “squeeze off” tool (a type of giant metal clamp in different sizes ) weigh 50-80kgs each, they carry at least 2 or 3 of them at any one time, the van is stocked with both heavy duty plastic fusion and brass fittings upwards of 30 - 50 different types no idea what they weigh, but they won’t be light, various digger buckets 20-30kgs each, big ditching buckets weigh much more, a single breaker/pecker attachment 100 -200kgs alone depending on size, under pressure drill in a big wooden casket 50 - 80 kgs, so you can see the weight soon mounts up. The vosa man told him they pull LWB vans specifically as they carry much more in terms of volume but are still restricted to 3.5ton gross, the people that drive them do not realise this fact, so its easy money for vosa, knowing people will load them up to the gunnels.
