Yes, car version is £135 to tax, van is £240, mine is a van, but not used in a commercial sense.
Disabled and minibuses can be changed.
I'm just being a tightwad!
What car version? The Corsa van is the van version of a car, the combo only looks like a Corsa at the front but is not on the same chassis.Disabled and minibuses can be changed.

There's a version of the combo with seats and windows and carpet etc. AN MPV sort of thing.
Talk to www.svtech.co.uk and ask to speak to a technical advisor (Kevin?).They helped me re classify my vans towing weight and may be able to advise.

Does the tax classification also affect the effective speed limit for the vehicle on NSL/dual carriageways; car derived van vs. van?
The definition of a CDV is quite contentious - there's currently an ongoing legal issue surrounding a Berlingo Multispace and Berlingo van - the van was converted into a car, DVLA argue that it is vehicle originally designed as a car, but converted to a van. The Combo van (postman pat style thing) has always been classed as a light goods vehicle, rather than a CDV,Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
