Within reason I doubt it an issue, just drive carefully not too close to others, plan ur braking and just let other traffic pass when I travel to France my motor is totally full and trailer.

Just bear in mind that plod can stop and fine you for driving an overloaded vehicle.
Also in an estate car I'd be concerned about the load shifting forwards if you had to perform an emergency stop and crushing you against your seatbelt.

Self leveling is great though isn't it? No one even knows how heavy it loaded!

More like up to 15mph max on a private estate
So wouldn’t be pulled over for this.

A 15 stone person is say 95 kg. With their beer money say 100kg. So three in the back is 300 kg. I would have thought the car would take that

Weight limits are there for a reason - safety and structural integrity of the car. Your call.
