Road Tax


Recommended Posts

as long as it has van sides from new its a commercial

So the 110's with the crewcab bit and van or pickup back will have 5 seats and be classed as commercials

ONLY the station wagons with the rear windows and factory fitted rear seats are classed as estate cars.

I've heard the 110 Utilities (ie like a CSW but with a solid bit at the back, rather than rattly slding windows) now qualify as commercial. Can anyone confirm that?

Yes, but that only changed last month. Vehicles prior to that were classed as station wagons and have car grading for road tax.

But also as it's a Light Commercial and it's maximum laden weight exceeds 2T you are limited to 50mph on single carriageway and 60mph on dual and motorways.

Cheers

and quote taken here..

Q. Are there any exemptions from these lower speed limits for vans?

A. There is one (small) group of vans which have the same speed limits are cars by virtue of the definitions in Schedule 6 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act of 1984. These are vans that are both derived from a car chassis and also have a maximum laden weight of no more than 2 tonnes. This means that the weight of the vehicle and the payload it is designed to be able to carry when added together do not exceed 2 tonnes. The van design must be a derivative of a car body, it is not sufficient that it looks similar to a particular car.
